A Testament of the Will

Author: thewesternvoyager

I’m Bryan Ricardo Marini Quintana, an author enamored with mythological texts, working in Comparative Literature Studies through the scholarly publication “Prophecies of Doom: J.R.R. Tolkien as a Translator of Old Myths into Modern Fantasy.” My background is in Humanities, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing, where I studied the Classical World, Western Art and Culture, Medieval Literature and History, alongside English and Spanish Poetry. Thereafter, I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Medieval Icelandic Studies, where I learned Old Icelandic, Old Norse Literature, Viking Age History, and the Archeology of the Middle Ages. My primary experience is as an English Teacher, teaching Grammar, Poetry, and Literature. The Western Voyager is my personal website, offering an educational and artistic platform accessible to everyone who seeks to consult wisdom or wishes to be swept away in an adventure. Here, I publish Poems, Short Stories, Film or Literature Analyses, Book Reviews, and Research Articles. I’m currently completing a Doctoral Thesis in Texts of Classical Antiquity, studying the influence of Virgilian Literature on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-Earth.
