Royd Tolkien - Lyukas bakancslista

Royd and Michael Tolkien grew up on the magical stories of their great-grandfather, J. R. R. Tolkien, so it's no wonder that they loved adventure from a young age, and their close brotherly bond remained even after they grew up. When Mike was diagnosed with a terminal neurological disease, the brothers decided to tick as many things off Mike's bucket list as possible, whether it was camping in remote Norway or visiting New Zealand, Royd's favorite since filming The Return of the King. However, it is only after the loss of his younger brother that Royd realizes that Mike has secretly written another list: fifty things that Royd must do after his death. First job: make a fool of yourself at Mike's funeral. Then: travel to New Zealand dressed as Gandalf. The tasks that are more creative than creative aren't actually about cracking down on citizens, but rather push Royd, who has always been more withdrawn and shy than his younger brother, out of his comfort zone so that he can live his life just like Mike: freely, without fear. The list is Mike's last gift to his beloved brother. Royd Tolkien's biography is a cathartic story of brotherly love and the processing of grief, and at the same time a warning: cherish every moment.
