Summary

This four-volume, boxed set contains J。R。R。 Tolkien's epic masterworks The Hobbit and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King)。

In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves。 He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon。

The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the dwarf; Legolas the elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider。 J。R。R。 Tolkien's three volume masterpiece is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale—a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth

such great books that when I was near the end of Return of the King, I just stopped (don't remember how long) because I didn't want it to end。 Glorious, brilliant, uplifting, joyful。 such great books that when I was near the end of Return of the King, I just stopped (don't remember how long) because I didn't want it to end。 Glorious, brilliant, uplifting, joyful。 。。。more

As this is my fourth or fifth read through of this book, I feel like I don't need to repeat myself and construct a long-winded review on how this is quite easily, my favourite set of books。 Instead, I'm going to write a few words on how I feel right at this moment。 Coming to the end of LOTR feels like coming home to a comfortable chair, a warm mug of fine coffee, and a large slab of carrot cake with extra cream cheese frosting。 It's rather like an old friend, and I'm positive it is one I will re As this is my fourth or fifth read through of this book, I feel like I don't need to repeat myself and construct a long-winded review on how this is quite easily, my favourite set of books。 Instead, I'm going to write a few words on how I feel right at this moment。 Coming to the end of LOTR feels like coming home to a comfortable chair, a warm mug of fine coffee, and a large slab of carrot cake with extra cream cheese frosting。 It's rather like an old friend, and I'm positive it is one I will revisit, again and again throughout my life。 This particular time, I felt a deeper connection to the story and the characters, and I was totally immersed in every single chapter。 It was difficult to tear myself away, even for a moment。 Gandalf and Éowyn will always have that special space in my heart。 Her character often reminds me of myself, in many ways。 (I also would have totally delivered that killing blow to The witch king)。 Probably one of my favourite excerpts, that has stood the test of time;"Arise, arise, riders of Rohan!Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered!A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!Ride now, ride now, ride to Gondor!"In the final chapter or so, I'm not ashamed to admit that I found it difficult to hold back those bittersweet tears。 What a wonderful world Mr John Ronald Reuel Tolkien created for us all to love and enjoy! I am so grateful that my wonderful Dad introduced me to Middle Earth at such a young age。 Thank you Dad, you did well。 。。。more

Great books

Classic books I loved。 The Hobbit was an easier read, but essential to understanding and appreciating the LOTR series。 Some parts of LOTR are hard to get through as the narrative drags a little, but the entire series is so worth it。 One of my all time favourite reads!

Emilio

I read these books when I was a teenager。 It turns out I end up living where Tolkien got most of his inspiration。 Go hiking and discover these places is such an inspiration。

To be under a dragon-breath sky with a sword and a handsome elvish soldier。。。sigh。“But do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years; for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know。”

This was the first full book series I read after taking a speed reading course and I flew through all 4 books。 Over the years I switched out the old paperback copies for the leather copies as well as the other books in the Tolkien series。

What's the point, if you are reading this then maybe fantasy is not for you。 It's LoTR。 What's the point, if you are reading this then maybe fantasy is not for you。 It's LoTR。 。。。more

Re-read these all the time。 Love them :d I first read them when I was 15 - I bought them as a Christmas present for my brother from the Weekly Reader group order at my school, but I read them first before giving them to him, & fell in love。 Learned to write the Tengwar, even。

Multiple read-throughs。 One thing I've noticed while reading these books is that my speaking and writing ability improve during the read-through and stays with me as an afterglow for about a week。 Then I go back to having a tongue like concrete。 Multiple read-throughs。 One thing I've noticed while reading these books is that my speaking and writing ability improve during the read-through and stays with me as an afterglow for about a week。 Then I go back to having a tongue like concrete。 。。。more

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit。 it was a hobbit-hole, where hobbit lives in there community with friends family home and food and that means comfort。Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero who fight and defeat the demon, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent。 The story of what is happen In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit。 it was a hobbit-hole, where hobbit lives in there community with friends family home and food and that means comfort。Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero who fight and defeat the demon, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent。 The story of what is happened before the dark shadows of the evil world is about to return。 The journey of the ring is told。 Role of witches and wizards and ancient demon on earth ever lived is how they got defeated, and how once the peace is restored。One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind themIn 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。Most of the character is in form for redemption or finding there purpose, Aragorn weather he be the real hier or not will he fulfill his love with Elves women, Elf for helping , Samwise to help his friends and revenge of his people who might died in attack, FRODO for duty assigned to him。This story starts with a dramatic turn。 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, but failed。 While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs。 And Boromir sacrificed his life。 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, the Gollum and they have to face war in Rohan , where sarumon send 10000 foot soldiers to demolished the city but Ents and White wizard Gandalf save the Rohan and now the fight between armies is about to start。In the third volume of The Lord of the Rings trilogy the good and evil forces join battle, Egos of kingdom was set aside even though by cunning trick of Gandalf, power of the brave, fight of the brave , the war broke the orcs because of there lack of belief in them, there behaviour towards other species of orcs, the fight broke them and they did what was expected of them, dead get the oath fulfilled by the heir who set them free。 Frodo and Samwise reached the Black gate and fire of the mountains and smeagol die with ring and finally with ring dissolved , evil lost the battle, the orcs forces dissolved and we see that the triumph of good is not absolute。 The Third Age of Middle-earth ends, and the age of the dominion ofMen begins 。。。more
