Book Description
The Fellowship of the Ring, part
one of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, first reached these shores on October
21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, "like lightning from a clear
sky."
Fifty years and over a hundred million readers later comes a beautiful new
one-volume collector's edition befitting the stature of this crown jewel of our
list. With a text fully corrected under the supervision of Christopher Tolkien
to meet the author's exacting wishes, two large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon
placemarker, gilded page edges, a color insert depicting Tolkien's own paintings
of the Book of Mazarbul and exceptionally elegant and sturdy overall packaging
housed within an attractive slipcase, this edition is the finest
ever produced.
A one-volume collector's edition
boxed and bound in handsome blue leather with gold foil
stamping and large format fold-out maps containing the
complete texts of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of
the King, and six appendices.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring
to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In ancient times the Rings of Power
were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One
Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the
One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it
remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the
hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
From his fastness in the Dark Tower
of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings
to him, but ever he searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete
his dominion.
On his eleventy-first birthday
Bilbo disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a
perilous quest -- to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the
Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
The Lord of the Rings tells of the
great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the
Wizard, Merry, Pippin, and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of
Gondor, and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.
Editorial Reviews
The Nation : "A work of immense narrative power that can sweep the reader up and
hold him enthralled for days and weeks."
Kansas City Star : "J.R.R.
Tolkien's epic trilogy remains the ultimate quest, the ultimate battle between
good and evil, the ultimate chronicle of stewardship of the earth. Endlessly
imitated, it has never been surpassed."
Newsweek : "A remarkable book"
Time Magazine : "One of the great fairy-tale quests in modern literature"
The Chicago Tribune : "A sustained feat of imagination that has entranced
millions"
The Washington Post : "Tolkien's stories take place against a background of
measureless depth…That background is ever-present in the creator's mind and it
gives Frodo and company a three-dimensional reality that is seldom found in this
kind of writing."
