Iran to celebrate J.R.R. Tolkien’s birthday - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hello to all,

My name is Mahdi. I was searching and found this thread.
I'm Iranian fan of Tolkien and moderator of one of Tolkien's fan sites and forums of Iran. (www.Arda.ir and www.forum.Arda.ir)

I must mention that Tolkien is very popular among Iranian people and there are some good forums like Arda.ir , Valimar.ir , fantasy.ir , ... .

This celebration was joint meeting of Arda and Fantasy Academy and I as moderator of arda was there. If you want to know what happened in that meeting you can read this(if you know Persian):
http://arda.ir/news/259-arda-fantasyacademy-isna.html
or Google Translation here:
http://translate.google.com/translat...demy-isna.html

But Google translation isn't good (Arda has been translated as Policy! and many other mistakes) so I say it in brief. It began with biography of Tolkien and his books then a long discussion on Tolkien's books and reading parts of The Hobbit, Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin and Lord of the Rings.

At last I must tell Kuruharan that there was no "modernist criticism"!

Regards,
3DMahdi
