  • Exploring My New Book: Tolkien's Tragedy - Concerning Númenor, the Rings of Power, and the Second Age

    Exploring My New Book: Tolkien's Tragedy - Concerning Númenor, the Rings of Power, and the Second Age
    Apr 20 2026
    Hey there, Fellowship!
    My new book, Tolkien’s Tragedy, is available now in paperback!
    Visit TolkiensTragedy.com to learn more!
    This episode is a walkthrough of the book using the table of contents as a kind of map into the deeper themes.
    Númenor has always struck me as one of Tolkien’s most powerful creations—not just as a story within the legendarium, but as a meditation on power, mortality, and the quiet, creeping distortion of what is good. What begins as a gift gradually becomes something grasped at, controlled, and ultimately lost. In that sense, the fall of Númenor is not just an ancient tale, but a pattern that feels uncomfortably familiar.
    My aim in writing this book is to bring that pattern into clearer view. Tolkien wasn’t simply inventing a lost civilization; he was exploring something enduring about the human condition.
    Don’t forget to visit TolkiensTragedy.com to get your copy of the book.
    Alright, let’s dive in!
