Building on the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the second part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien’s own design, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth. Frodo and the 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 the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs. Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin – alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

Amazon.co.uk Review Poor Bilbo Baggins! An unassuming and rather plump hobbit (as most of these small, furry-footed people tend to be ), Baggins finds himself unwittingly drawn into adventure by a wizard named Gandalf and 13 dwarves bound for the Lonely Mountain, where a dragon named Smaug hordes a stolen treasure. Before he knows what is happening, Baggins finds himself on the road to danger. Wizards, dwarves and dragons may seem the stuff of children's fairy tales, but The Hobbit is in a class of its own--light-hearted enough for younger readers, yet with a dark edge guaranteed to intrigue an older audience. In the best tradition of the archetypal hero's quest, Bilbo Baggins sets out on his fateful journey a callow, untested soul and returns--tempered by hardship, danger and loss--a better man--er, hobbit. This book is the predecessor to Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, and though that trilogy can be thoroughly enjoyed without first reading The Hobbit, much that happens in the lat

本书将托尔金的6篇重要作品和附录索引部分，分成1-7卷出版，更为精致，弥补了全3册版本的缺憾。 托尔金原来打算出一本大部头，但是因为在二战后纸张短缺，所以他的想法没能付诸实现。后小说只能分成三册出版：《魔戒部：魔戒再现》（篇1和篇2）、《魔戒第二部：双城奇谋》（篇3和篇4）和《魔戒第三部：王者归来》（篇5和篇6，6个附录，4个索引） 因为这三本小说是如此广泛地分布，所以此作品通常被称为魔戒三部曲。但是严格来说这是不对的，因为其构思就是一部完整的作品。 本书将托尔金的6篇重要作品和附录索引部分，分成1-7卷出版，更为精致，弥补了全3册版本的缺憾。 Continuing the story of The Hobbit, this seven-volumepaperback boxed set of Tolkiens epic masterpiece, The Lord of theRings is a collection to treasure.
