English description: The documentary film series, “A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War,” explores how the experience of two world wars shaped the lives and literary imagination of two internationally famous authors and friends, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Based on Joseph Loconte’s New York Times bestseller, the film examines how Tolkien’s combat experience during the First World War— at the Battle of the Somme —launched him on his literary quest. The film reveals how the conflict reinforced Lewis’s youthful atheism— he was injured in combat —but also stirred his spiritual longings. The film traces the careers of both men at Oxford University, and their deepening friendship as they discover a mutual love of medieval, romantic literature. Facing the threat of another world war, Tolkien and Lewis reach back into their earlier experience of war as they compose their epic works of fantasy, The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia.

R. R. Tolkien e C. S. Lewis. Baseado no bestseller do New York Times de Joseph Loconte, a série examina como a experiência de combate de Tolkien durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial – na Batalha do Somme – o alçou em sua busca literária. A série revela como o conflito reforçou o ateísmo juvenil de Lewis – ele foi ferido no combate – mas também mexeu com sua ânsia espiritual. O documentário traça as carreiras de ambos os homens na Universidade de Oxford e o aprofundamento de sua amizade enquanto eles descobriam um amor mútuo pela literatura romântica medieval. Enfrentando a ameaça de outra guerra mundial, Tolkien e Lewis se voltam para suas experiências anteriores de guerra enquanto compõem suas obras épicas de fantasia, “O Senhor dos Anéis” e “As Crônicas de Nárnia”.
