The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien

Begin your journey to Middle-earth. The books that inspired the new series THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER. The first installment of J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings. In the sleepy and idyllic Shire, a young hobbit is given a task: to guard the One Ring and embark on a journey to destroy it in the Crack of Doom. Accompanied by wizards, men, elves, and dwarves, he will cross Middle-earth and venture into the shadows of Mordor, pursued by the forces of Sauron, the Dark Lord, who is determined to reclaim his creation and establish the ultimate dominion of Evil. “Tolkien's work, distributed in millions of copies, translated into dozens of languages, inspiring slogans painted on the walls of New York and Buenos Aires... a coherent mythology of universal authenticity created in the middle of the twentieth century.” âeuros' George Steiner, Le Monde, 1973
