The Hobbit; The Lord of The Rings

The Lord of the Ring cannot be described in a few words. J. R. Tolkien` s great work has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic of science fiction. It is, however, impossible to convey to the new reader all of the book` s qualities, and the range of its creation. By turns comic, homely, epic, monstrous and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scenes and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a new mythologyin an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal.
This one volume paperback edition includes the complete unabridged text of the three books, The Fellowship of the Rings, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, that together make up The Lord of the Rings; the index and full appendices. This reset edition contains newly drawn maps by Stephen Row, based on Christopher Tolkien`s original maps.
