Synopsis
The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien's three-volume epic, is set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth - home to many strange beings, and most notably hobbits, a peace-loving little people, cheerful and shy. Since its original British publication in 1954-55, the saga has entranced readers of all ages. It is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale. Critic Michael Straight has hailed it as one of the very few works of genius in recent literature. Middle-earth is a world receptive to poets, scholars, children, and all other people of good will. Donald Barr has described it as a scrubbed morning world, and a ringing nightmare world...especially sunlit, and shadowed by perils very fundamental, of a peculiarly uncompounded darkness. The story of ths world is one of high and heroic adventure. Barr compared it to Beowulf, C.S. Lewis to Orlando Furioso, W.H. Auden to The Thirty-nine Steps. In fact the saga is sui generis - a triumph of imagination which springs to life within its own framework and on its own terms., The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is one of literature's modern classics. This series of books beginning with "The Hobbit" have become the standard for fantasy and classic myth adventure books. The excellent movie depictions of this book series (directed by Peter Jackson) have helped to spring-board Tolkien's literature back into household conversation. However, as is true of most series, the books are far better than the movies. I highly recommend this first and classic installment of The Lord of the Rings.

    More than just a Fantasy Story

    The influence of JRR Tolkien to the works of English Literature is only be rivaled by William Shakespeare. Note that Tolkien, unlike Bill, has no cloud of controversy as to whether he wrote all his works or not. The concept of creating a real language for other races (popularly used in Star Trek) was started when he wrote the language of the elves. He created the Ents, commonly called Treefolk in Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: The Gathering. Finally, although brutal beasts have existed for centuries in fantasy and legend, he was the first to call the most powerful ones Orcs. But The Lord of the Rings (LOR) would not have had the influence it does if all he did was invent monsters or fantastic words. LOR is a true work of literature. There are many different layers to the story and ...

    Not all that wander are lost

    Tolkiens, "The Lord of the Rings" is one of my most cherished reads. I was first exposed to the books as our class reading assignment way back in 6th grade ( 1968- GAWD!) Since then I try to make it a point to re-read the trilogy yearly. My love for the work has been passed on to at least two of my sons and this purchase of the 1977, hard cover, 3 book set is a Christmas present to the older of the two. ( My younger one will eventually inherit my slipcased 1967 papperback set) Giving this set to an adventurist youth can really broaden their horizons. Rather than let them view the movie version, let them join the Fellowship and walk the paths of Middle earth.

    Best LOTR book set for the money

    This is the premier version of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy! Easy to read and great for personal library. Literary classic that can't be beat! The movies are great, but these books will literally take you away to Middle Earth, where you can immerse yourself in fantasy! What a great set of books!
