«El Camino a la Tierra Media» is the literary criticism essay by T. A. Shippey, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardcover (423 pages, in Spanish).
Shippey traces the literary and mythological sources of Middle-earth and explains how Tolkien's love of languages and myth shaped his fiction. He connects The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion with works such as Beowulf and the Norse sagas, and proposes a rereading of Tolkien away from orthodox criticism.
Published in 2002, it belongs to the Biblioteca Tolkien collection. Translation by Eduardo Segura; original title: The Road to Middle-Earth.
For readers of Tolkien and fantasy literature interested in the mythological and linguistic origin of Middle-earth.
