Thanks for pointing this out!
Just saw that this is being published on 14 August 2023:
https://www.norstedts.se/bok/978911312 ... erkomst-texter-om-tolkien
It's a collection of Tolkien articles in Swedish. Here's my (loose) translation of the blurb:
"Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a classic work which has taken on mythical proportions. Today many speak of the book as if one were speaking of man's creation stories. In dark times people turn to the work for comfort.
In 2023 it is 50 years since Tolkien died, and his work is more read and discussed than ever.
The Return of the Ring is a collection of texts by experienced writers and Tolkien profiles, examining what makes the work so powerful, and why it is being constantly renewed. The collection looks at the books' inspiring ability to find hope in hopelessness; the far right's use of Tolkien's symbolism; Tolkien's linguistic creations and how they provide an insight to the experiences of those who are exiled; Tolkien as a theologist; and how Tolkien was traumatised by the trenches of the First World War.
Inger Edelfeldt also recalls her time as a Tolkien illustrator, and Finn Zetterholm talks about his father Tore Zetterholm and his translation of the first Tolkien publication in Swedish: Hompen.
The Return of the Ring is a book for everyone who is fascinated by Tolkien's world."
