Contents: The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit The Adventures of Tom Bombadil The Road Goes Ever On The thrill of hearing J R R Tolkien perform excerpts from his own works is a unique and unforgettable experience for anyone who has been enchanted by the magic of his mythical world.

He had been working on the book for over 14 years and had almost given up hope of ever seeing it in print. But hearing this recording played back to him prompted Tolkien to send it to a former pupil who had become a publisher. The result was that even during his lifetime over three million copies of the book were sold, and fifty million more have been sold since his death. Also included in this collection are Tolkien's recordings of excerpts from The Hobbit and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, together with William Elvin's performance of The Road Goes Ever On, accompanied on the piano by its composer Donald Swann and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner Howard Sackler.

"During his travels across Middle-earth, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins had found the Ring. But the simple band of gold was far from ordinary; it was, in fact, the One Ring--the greatest of the ancient Rings of Power. Sauron, the Dark Lord, had infused it with his own evil magic, and when it was lost, he was forced to flee into hiding. But now Sauron's exile has ended and his power is spreading anew, fueled by the knowledge that his treasure has been found. He has gathered all the Great Rings to him, and will stop at nothing to reclaim the One that will complete his dominion. The only way to stop him is to cast the Ruling Ring deep into the Fire-Mountain at the heart of Mordor--Sauron's dark realm. Fate has placed the burden into the hands of Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's heir...and he is resolved to bear it to its end. Or his own. (taken from jacket cover.)

The first book of the famous fantasy trilogy.

The fellowship of the ring #1 : 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 into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.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. The two towers #2 : The Fellowship was scattered. Some were bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some were contending with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam were left to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordorthe dark Kingdom where Sauron was supreme. Their guide was Gollum, deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the Ring. Thus continues the magnificent, bestselling tale of adventure begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its soul-stirring climax in The Return of the King. The return of the king #3 : The Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures as the quest continues. Aragorn, revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, joined with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, and took part in the desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by Orcs, escaped into Fangorn Forest and there encountered the Ents. Gandalf returned, miraculously, and defeated the evil wizard, Saruman. Meanwhile, Sam and Frodo progressed towards Mordor to destroy the Ring, accompanied by SmEagol--Gollum, still obsessed by his 'precious'. After a battle with the giant spider, Shelob, Sam left his master for dead; but Frodo is still alive--in the hands of the Orcs. And all the time the armies of the Dark Lord are massing.

Frodo the hobbit and his companions set out to destroy the Ring of Power before the evil Sauron grasps control. 2.Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin -- alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. 3.While the evil might of the Dark Lord Sauron swarmed out to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggled deep into Mordor, seat of Sauron's power. To defeat the Dark Lord, the accursed Ring of Power had to be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom, but the way was impossibly hard and Frodo was weakening. Weighed down by the compulsion of the Ring, he began finally to despair.

The Lord of the Rings is an epic high-fantasy novel written by English author and scholar J. R. R. Tolkien. The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's 1937 fantasy novel The Hobbit, but eventually developed into a much larger work. Written in stages between 1937 and 1949, The Lord of the Rings is one of the best-selling novels ever written, with over 150 million copies sold.[1] The title of the novel refers to the story's main antagonist, the Dark Lord Sauron,[a] who had in an earlier age created the One Ring to rule the other Rings of Power as the ultimate weapon in his campaign to conquer and rule all of Middle-earth. From quiet beginnings in the Shire, a hobbit land not unlike the English countryside, the story ranges across Middle-earth, following the course of the War of the Ring through the eyes of its characters, most notably the hobbits Frodo Baggins, Sam, Merry and Pippin. Although generally known to readers as a trilogy, the work was initially intended by Tolkien to be one volume of a two-volume set, the other to be The Silmarillion, but this idea was dismissed by his publisher.[3][4] For economic reasons, The Lord of the Rings was published in three volumes over the course of a year from 29 July 1954 to 20 October 1955.[3][5] The three volumes were titled The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

Originally broadcast in 1981 on BBC Radio, this full-cast adaptation of Tolkien's epic trilogy is justifiably regarded as a classic; unfortunately, in 2008, it faces inevitable comparison with Peter Jackson's films. While Jackson had stunning visuals, purists may find this simpler adaptation more to their taste. The radio version remains, in some ways, more faithful to the original trilogy. The extensive cuts to the narrative mean that much of Tolkien's poetic description and a degree of emotional resonance are lost, but narrator Gerard Murphy gives what remains the appropriate gravity. Most of the dialogue is pure Tolkien, and the fine cast does it justice. Ian Holm (who appeared as Bilbo in the films) offers a mature, nuanced portrayal of Frodo that is far truer to the text than Elijah Wood's wide-eyed innocent approach. (On the other hand, Sean Astin's accent and inflections as Sam are so similar to the audiobook's Bill Nighy's, one might suspect that Astin studied this recording before filming.) The 12th CD is devoted to a selection of songs from the books, set to original music.

»Der Herr der Ringe« in zwei Sätzen: Einem jungen Hobbit Namens Frodo wird ein Ring anvertraut, von dem eine dunkle Macht ausgeht. Frodo macht sich mit seinen Freunden auf eine abenteuerliche Reise, um das von der zerstörerischen Kraft des Rings bedrohte Auenland zu retten.

»Ein Ring, sie zu knechten, sie alle zu finden, ins Dunkel zu treiben und ewig zu binden.« Dreibändige Ausgabe zur Serienverfilmung Vor unvordenklichen Zeiten wurden die Ringe der Macht von den Elben geschaffen und Sauron, der Dunkle Herrscher, schmiedete heimlich den Einen Ring und füllte ihn mit seiner Macht, auf dass er über alle anderen Ringe und ihre Träger gebieten konnte. Der Eine Ring wurde Sauron im Lauf der Zeit genommen und so sehr er ihn auch in ganz Mittelerde suchte, er blieb dennoch für ihn verloren. Zeitalter später fällt der Ring in die Hände des Hobbits Bilbo Beutlin, der ihn an seinen Neffen Frodo weitergibt … und so beginnt das größte und gefährlichste Abenteuer der Fantasyliteratur. Im ersten Band »Die Gefährten« bekommt der junge Frodo in einem ruhigen Dorf im Auenland ein Geschenk, das sein Leben für immer verändern wird – den Einen Ring, der seit Jahrhunderten als verschollen galt. Ein mächtiges und furchterregendes Ding, mit dem der Dunkle Herrscher einst Mittelerde versklavte. Nun erhebt sich die Dunkelheit erneut, und Frodo muss tief in das Reich des Dunklen Herrschers vordringen, bis zu dem einzigen Ort, an dem der Ring zerstört werden kann: dem Schicksalsberg. Die Reise wird Frodos Mut, seine Freundschaften und sein Herz auf die Probe stellen. Denn der Ring korrumpiert alle, die ihn tragen. Kann Frodo den Ring vernichten, bevor der Ring ihn vernichtet? In »Die zwei Türme«, dem zweiten Band, sind die Gefährten verstreut. Einige bereiten sich auf den Krieg gegen den Dunklen Herrscher vor, einige stellen sich dem Verrat des verderbten Zauberers Saruman entgegen.Nur Frodo und Sam sind übrig, um den verfluchten Ring in den Feuern des Schicksalsberges zu vernichten. Der Schicksalsberg liegt im Herzen des Reiches des Dunklen Herrschers. Ihr einziger Führer auf der gefährlichen Reise dorthin ist Gollum, eine hinterlistige und besessene Kreatur, die einst den Ring besaß und sich entsetzlich danach sehnt, ihn wieder zu kriegen. Als sich die dunklen Mächte sammeln, liegt das Schicksal von Mittelerde in den Händen von zwei einsamen Hobbits. Wird Gollum sie in den Tod führen? Im dritten und letzten Band »Die Rückkehr des Königs« ist der Dunkle Herrscher auferstanden. Und während er Horden von Orks entfesselt, um ganz Mittelerde zu unterwerfen, kämpfen sich Frodo und Sam tief in sein Reich nach Mordor vor. Um Sauron zu besiegen, muss der Eine Ring in den Feuern des Schicksalsberges vernichtet werden. Doch der Weg dorthin ist unvorstellbar schwer, und Frodos Kräfte schwinden. Der Ring macht sich alle, die ihn tragen, untertan und Frodo bleibt kaum noch Zeit. Werden Sam und Frodo ihr Ziel erreichen, oder wird der Dunkle Herrscher am Ende wieder über ganz Mittelerde herrschen?

Taru Sormusten herrasta sijoittuu omaan maailmaansa Keski-Maahan ja sen romanttiseen muinaisuuteen, jolloin maata asuttivat uljaat haltiat, pelottomat ihmiset, sitke©Þt k©Þ©Þpi©œt - ja hobitit.

Concebida en un primer momento como una continuación de El Hobbit, acabó por convertirse en una historia independiente por derecho propio de mucho más alcance y extensión. En 1999 la trilogía de El Señor de los Anillos fue elegida como «Libro del Milenio» por los participantes de una encuesta de Amazon.com. En la adormecida e idílica Comarca, un joven hobbit recibe un encargo: custodiar el Anillo Único y emprender el viaje para su destrucción en las Grietas del Destino. Consciente de la importancia de su misión, Frodo abandona la Comarca e inicia el camino hacia Mordor con la compañía inesperada de Sam, Pippin y Merry. Pero sólo con la ayuda de Aragorn conseguirán vencer a los Jinetes Negros y alcanzar el refugio de la Casa de Elrond en Rivendel.

Continuaci©đn de "El Hobbit" e inicio de la trilog©Ưa del Se©łor de los Anillos. Historia donde un peque©ło hobbit tiene que deshacerse del mal representado en un anillo, para lo cual emprende un peligroso viaje lleno de aventuras, en compa©ł©Ưa de sus amigos.

El Seńor de los Anillos\201D es una novela de fantasía épica escrita por el filólogo y escritor británico John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, más conocido por su seudónimo J. R. R. Tolkien. Su historia se desarrolla en la Tercera Edad del Sol de la Tierra Media, un lugar ficticio poblado por hombres y otras razas antropomorfas como los hobbits, los elfos o los enanos, así como por muchas otras criaturas reales y fantásticas. La novela narra el viaje del protagonista principal, el hobbit Frodo Bolsón, para destruir el Anillo Único y la consiguiente guerra que provocará el enemigo para recuperarlo, ya que es la principal fuente de poder de su creador, el Seńor Oscuro Sauron

Reedición recopilatoria de la saga. Los Anillos de Poder fueron forjados en antiguos tiempos por los herreros Elfos, y Sauron, el Señor Oscuro, forjó el Anillo Único. Pero en una ocasión se lo quitaron, y aunque lo buscó por toda la Tierra Media nunca pudo encontrarlo. Al cabo de muchos años fue a caer casualmente en manos del hobbit Bilbo Bolsón. Desde la Torre Oscura de Mordor, el poder de Sauron se extendió alrededor. Llegó a reunir todos los Grandes Anillos, pero continuaba buscando el Anillo Único, que completaría el dominio de Mordor. Bilbo desapareció durante la celebración de su centesimodecimoprimer cumpleaños, y dejó a Frodo a cargo del Anillo, y con una peligrosa misión por delante: atravesar la Tierra Media, internarse en las sombras del País Oscuro y destruir en Anillo arrojándolo en las Grietas del Destino. El Señor de los Anillos cuenta la gran misión cumplida por Frodo y sus amigos: Gandalf el Mago, Merry, Pippiny Sam, Gimli el Enano, Legolas el Elfo, y un hombre extraño y misterioso llamado Trancos.

Analyse: Roman de science-fiction

Il Signore degli Anelli ©· un romanzo d ́eccezione, al di fuori del tempo: chiarissimo ed enigmatico, semplice e sublime. Dona alla felicit© del lettore ci©ø che la narrativa del nostro secolo sembrava incapace di offrire: avventure in luoghi remoti e terribili, episodi d ́inesauribile allegria, segreti paurosi che si svelano a poco a poco, draghi crudeli e alberi che camminano, citt© d ́argento e di diamante poco lontane da necropoli tenebrose in cui dimorano esseri che spaventano solo al nominarli, urti giganteschi di eserciti luminosi e oscuri; e tutto questo in un mondo immaginario ma ricostruito con cura meticolosa, e in effetti assolutamente verosimile, perch©♭ dietro i suoi simboli si nasconde una realt© che dura oltre e malgrado la storia: la lotta, senza tregua, fra il bene e il male. Leggenda e fiaba, tragedia e poema cavalleresco, il romanzo di Tolkien ©· in realt© un ́allegoria della condizione umana che ripropone in chiave moderna i miti antichi.

Frodo har arvet alt etter sin onkel Bilbo, inklusive forsvinningsringen som Bilbo tok fra Gollum i boka Hobbiten. Ringen har en mektig, men ukjent trolldomsmakt. Vennen og trollmannen Gandalv advarer Frodo sterkt mot ̄bruke denne ringen eller fortelle noen at han har den - ringen har for stor makt. Frodo har levet rolig inntil trollmannen Gandalv kommer tilbake for ̄fortelle ham at det er mr̜kets makt som rr̄ over ringen, og den vil til slutt oppsluke den som bruker eller eier den. Han vil bli usynlig for bestandig, og vandre i tussmr̜ke under blikket til den mr̜kemakt som hersker over ringen. Bilbo reddet seg til sist - hva med Frodo? For dette er den ene herskerringen som kan betvinge alle; denne ene ringen som Sauron den Store, mr̜kets herre, mangler for ̄f ̄styrke og kunnskap nok til ̄sl ̄ned all motstand. Om han vinner den tilbake, da vil mr̜kets herre befale over alle igjen. Ringen m ̄kastes i dommedagsjuvet for ̄d̜elegges. Trilogien som utgjr̜ Ringenes Herre, er et eventyrlig epos om kampen p ̄liv og dd̜ mellom det gode og det onde, noe av det beste som er skrevet i sin genre. I Ringenes herre utvikler Tolkien videre den verden han skapte i Hobbiten, med eventyrets og fabelens form i den ytre rammen; mens kampen om det gode i individet fortsetter. Frodo klarer til slutt ̄d̜elegge ringen og den onde trolldomskraften som l ̄i den, og blir seg selv igjen.

Tolkien skapte en egen verden i fortellingene om hobbitene, sm ̄menneskelignende skapninger. Ringenes herre er en (uavhengig) fortsettelse av Hobbiten. Hobbitene lever i en verden ukjent for oss. Emnet i bk̜ene er dog kjent; kampen mellom det gode (hobbiter) og onde (Sauron). For at Sauron skal f ̄ubegrenset makt, m ̄han f ̄tak i en spesiell ring, maktens ring. Skal ringen miste sin kraft, m ̄den kastes i Dommedags juv i Mordors land. Den som eier ringen for lenge, blir d̜elagt av dens krefter. Denne utgaven er en lydbok i MP3-format.
