The Lord of the Rings
Content:
" Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring the definitive text and a detailed map of Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power –,the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring –,the ring that rules them all –,which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. J.R.R. Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. "

Rezension(1): "John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on the 3rd January, 1892 at Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State, but at the age of four he and his brother were taken back to England by their mother. After his father?s death the family moved to Sarehole, on the south-eastern edge of Birmingham. Tolkien spent a happy childhood in the countryside and his sensibility to the rural landscape can clearly be seen in his writing and his pictures." Rezension(2): "〈a href=https://www.dogobooks.com/lord-of-the-rings-the-lord-of-the-rings-vol-1/book-review/0007136595 target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/dogobooks_logo.jpg alt=DOGO Books border=0 /〉〈/a〉:cheetahluver - The Fellowship of the Ring is the sequel to the Hobbit, but is technically the first book in the three-book series, the Lord of the Rings. This story takes place in Middle- Earth, a unique fantasy land that is filled with magical creatures. There', a lot of background information, but at present, a hobbit named Frodo is given an ancient ring, forged by evil, which he must destroy in a far-off land. He is accompanied by a Fellowship (group). And so begins a magical story brimming to the top with adventure, excitement, and danger! This book is great, except it', pretty hard to understand and uses large vocabulary (even I was confused at some parts!). But don', let that stop you from reading it! This is one of the great classics that is not-so-classical, which I believe everyone should read at some point. If you like fantasy and action, this is a must- read!"
