The prequel to The Lord of the Rings—The Hobbit—is now a major motion picture directed by Peter Jackson

 

THE GREATEST FANTASY EPIC OF OUR TIME

 

The Fellowship is scattered. Some are bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some are contending with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam are left to take the accursed One Ring, ruler of all the Rings of Power, to be destroyed in Mordor, the dark realm where Sauron is supreme. Their guide is Gollum, deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the Ring.

 

Thus continues the bestselling epic that began in The Fellowship of the Ring, and which reaches its magnificent climax in The Return of the King.

Synopsis:

Frodo and Sam continue on their quest to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordor, relying on Gollum, slave to the corruption of the Ring, as their guide.

About the Author

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. After serving in World War I, he embarked upon a distinguished academic career and was recognized as one of the finest philologists in the world. He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. He is, however, beloved throughout the world as the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic works as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He died on September 2, 1973, at the age of eighty-one.

Following the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, this book does not back down from the fascinating cast of characters or an adventurous plot of fighting for what is good and right. This second book only enforces the fact that Tolkien is one of the greatest writers of the century.
