J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings
The Fellowship Of The Ring • The Two Towers • The Return Of The King
An epic fantasy series, set in the lands of Middle Earth, tells the story of a fellowship of hobbits, wizards, elves, dwarves and men on a quest to destroy the powerful "One Ring that rules them all". First published by J.R.R. Tolkien in the mid 1950's, the Lord of the Rings transcends time, language and any other barrier imaginable. It has been the reference of every fantasy or epic book to come after; it invented whole languages, such as Elvish, and words, such as Tolkienian, that are now canon in the Oxford English Dictionary. Religions, languages, and myths (notably Norse mythology) from all over the world influenced the novel, and took inspiration from Tolkien’s real experience in WWI. It is the catalyst that created fantasy role-playing games, influenced music,and endless references in pop culture to this day. Thematically it would be impossible to list everything, but significant themes include: race, social class, religion, good versus evil, morality, catholic ideals, conservatism, the monomyth, friendship and loyalty, and home. The Fellowship of the Ring, and the entire masterpiece of The Lord of the Rings, is easily one of the most famous modern novels of all time.
