J. R. R. Tolkien

Kentucky

The first part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring an exclusive cover designed to complement the new 'History of Middle-earth' series. 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. Now available in smart a new livery to match the 'History of Middle-earth' series, and impossible to describe in a few words, JRR 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.

PangoBooks readers agree that this series is a cornerstone of the fantasy genre, with its richly imagined world of Middle-earth and memorable, well-developed characters. The storytelling is praised for its intricate prose, vivid landscapes, and profound themes such as the struggle between good and evil, friendship, and hope. While some find the pacing slow, it's seen as a trade-off for the depth and detail. Overall, it's considered a must-read, and despite its challenging prose, it's appreciated both by avid fantasy readers and those seeking foundational works in the genre.
