SYNOPSIS: The first part of J. R. R. Tolkien's epic adventure THE LORD OF THE RINGS. In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power--the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron's evil domination. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien's classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King. - and - The Fellowship of the Ring is the first part of J. R. R. Tolkien's epic adventure The Lord of the Rings. 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 domination 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. This is the first part of a three-book edition in A-format paperback which reproduces the complete unabridged text of the three books, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, that together make up The Lord of the Rings. The Appendices and Index are included in The Return of the King. This reset edition contains newly drawn maps by Stephen Raw, based on Christopher Tolkien's original maps. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Light creases at the upper jacket edge and a small nick to the lower rear jacket spine edge. (see photographs). The rear endpaper contains the bound-into-the-volume new condition red and black illustrated fold-out oversized map. "The text of this edition incorporates all corrections and revisions intended by its author and, taken with the other two volumes, constitutes an authoritative edition of The Lord of the Rings, uniform with that published in Great Britian by Allen & Unwin." - from the copyright page "In celebration of The Hobbit's fiftieth anniversary, the authoritative edition of its stirring sequel, The Lord of the Rings, is elegantly presented in handsome, uniform editions. The First Part of The Lord of the Rings finds Bilbo Baggins (hero of The Hobbit) preparing to celebrate his "eleventy-first" birthday. Sixty unremarkable years have passed since his triumphant return from the orcmines, where he outwitted the horrible Gollum and carried off his magical ring - a feat that cannot go forever unavenged. The ring may hold more power than anyone suspects; indeed, dark forces are already conspiring to snatch it back." - from the rear outer jacket. "No imaginary world has been projected which is at once so multifarious and so true.Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron." - C.S. Lewis "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 this 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 frameword and on its own terms." - from the inner front jacket flap 0.
