内容简介

《指环王》的中篇小说--有史以来Z伟大的奇幻史诗--始于《魔戒联谊会》，在《王者归来》中达到宏伟的高潮。

被PBS的《美国大阅读》提名为美国Z受欢迎的小说之一。

魔戒团员们四散奔逃。一些人无可奈何地准备与索伦这个古老的恶魔开战。其他人必须与巫师萨鲁曼的背叛作斗争。只剩下弗罗多和山姆带着被诅咒的力量之环的统治者--一环，到索伦至高无上的黑暗王国摩多去销毁。他们的向导是咕噜，他是魔戒腐败的欺骗者和执着的奴隶。

The middle novel in The Lord of the Rings--the greatest fantasy epic of all time--which began in The Fellowship of the Ring, and which reaches its magnificent climax in The Return of the King.

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

The Fellowship is scattered. Some brace hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Others must contend with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam are left to take the One Ring, ruler of the accursed Rings of Power, to be destroyed in Mordor, the dark realm where Sauron is supreme. Their guide is Gollum, deceitful and obsessive slave to the corruption of the Ring.

托尔金是日耳曼人后裔，他的父系祖先十八世纪从萨克森移居英国，父亲是银行职员，母亲家族则是当地人。童年托尔金的家境窘迫，四岁时父亲客死他乡，十二岁时，母亲死于糖尿病，这在当时是不治之症。他与弟弟成了孤儿，由法兰西斯神父抚养。

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. After serving in World War I, he embarked upon a distinguished academic career and was recognized as one of the finest philologists in the world. He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. He is, however, beloved throughout the world as the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic works as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He died on September 2, 1973, at the age of eighty-one.
