Annie Allix was a French translator, known primarily for her pioneering work on the translation of J.R.R. Tolkien's works. Her version of *Le Seigneur des Anneaux* (The Lord of the Rings), published between 1972 and 1973, introduced the universe of Middle-earth to the Francophone audience and established the standard lexicon for generations of readers. Her contribution was also crucial to other works by Tolkien, including *Le Silmarillion* (The Silmarillion), translated in collaboration with Pierre Aliéric, and *Contes et légendes inachevés* (Unfinished Tales). Although her name is not associated with specific literary awards, her work is universally recognized for its enormous cultural impact and for making one of the most influential authors of the 20th century accessible, thus contributing decisively to the spread of the fantasy genre in France and the French-speaking world. Her translation remained the only one available for decades, solidifying her status as a key figure in French publishing.
