Su questo libro

L'autore:

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.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

'The Fellowship of the Ring' is the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure 'The Lord of the Rings'.

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 the dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules them all – which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

In the sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense tack, 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.

“The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read 'The Hobbit' and 'Lord of the Rings' and those who are going to read them”
