tolkien avait été en europe pendant la grande guerre The author of the trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien, was an officer for the British army during World War I. But when he came down with “trench fever,” he was taken out of the action before his battalion went into battle on May 27, 1918—a terrible battle where nearly all of the battalion’s men were killed or taken prisoner. Therefore, trench fever may very well have saved Tolkien’s life, writes Joseph Laconte in his new book, A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War.
