Description

Classic hardback edition of the third volume of The Lord of the Rings, now featuring Tolkien's original unused dust-jacket design. Includes special packaging and the definitive edition of the text, with fold-out maps.

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 'preciouss'. 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.

Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its first publication, the text has been fully restored with almost 400 corrections - with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien - making it the definitive version, and as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Tolkien intended. Also included are the original red and black maps as fold-out sheets, and - for the first time - a fully revised and enlarged index.

Meine Reise ist zu Ende und ich habe es sehr geliebt. Der letzte band war anders als erwartet und trotzdem gab es auch hier kaum Überraschungen. Es ist spannend und an manchen Stellen sehr düster. Das Ende ist viel viel länger als erwartet, jedoch fand ich das schön. Ich konnte mit der Geschichte super gut abschließen und bin traurig, dass es zu Ende ist. Für mich gehört diese Fantasy Welt zu den besten. Ich liebte die Charaktere, Mythen und die Story.

Every now and then, it happens. A movie is as good - or even better - than the book. Of course, we must thank Tolkien that he gave us the story about an unlikely fellowship that Jackson could turn into the awesome movies. Having said that, when you like to find out more about the history and the background of the extensive Middle Earth Universe, then reading the book is great. With its detailed description, it gave a lot of input to Jackson but also makes reading quite tiresome. So when you like exposition paragraphs, this is for you.
