     In case you, like me, do not have a subscription to _Le Monde_, it

is possible to buy a single issue electronically for about a dollar.

This interview is apparently destined for _Le Monde Week-end_

tomorrow (7 July), which is electronically available now.

     You can start by looking at the article for free here:

<http://www.lemonde.fr/journalelectronique/donnees/libre/20120707/index.html?art\

icle_id=866548>

     When you try to do anything, like printing or zooming, a window

will open that asks you to subscribe, or buy the single issue. As

soon as you have bought it you can print it.

     The interview is on pages 4-6 in the "Culture & Id�es" part of the

magazine, with accompanying pieces about Tolkien on pages 1 and 6.

The print function counts pages through the issue as a whole; to

print the mentioned pages, ask for 117 and 120-122. (Possibly also

page 1, since the feature is signalled in a head vignette on the

first page of the issue.)



     On p.5 (=121) there is a photo of a map. It is said to be a map

of Bilbo's world made by Christopher when he was 15 years old. But it

seems to actually be one of the four sheets of the Second

Silmarillion Map. I assume _Le Monde_'s photographer took pictures

of a number of maps, and there was some confusion as to what was

what.



	 Chivalrous greetings,

It looks like an interesting article, but I do not trust my [very poor] French

translation skills to properly read it. Any chance that more skilled French

readers might summarize the article, let us know if anything earth-shaking or

revelatory is discussed?
