Tolkien intended.
This Diamond Anniversary reissue of the prized boxed set marks 60 years since the first publication ofThe Fellowship of the Ring. These hardback editions feature Tolkien’s original unused dust-jacket designs from the 1950s, reworked for this edition, and some additional text corrections.

1.The Fellowship of the Ring《魔戒同盟》
史前世界中，一位名叫佛罗多巴金的年轻人，无意中得到了一只魔戒。这只戒指拥有无穷的神秘力量，戒指原来是黑暗君王索伦所有的，却意外地到了佛罗多手里。佛罗多决定将戒指摧毁，以免索伦夺回去巩固自己的势力。索伦为了阻止佛罗多，于是派出了手下的怪兽加以追杀，一场正邪大战眼看着一触即发……
In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-Earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power — the only thing that prevents the dark lord’s evil dominion.
Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale, which continues inThe Two Towers and The Return of the King.
2.The Two Towers《双塔奇兵》
霍比特人佛罗多和山姆，继续前往魔多山要完成摧毁魔戒的任务，同时阿拉冈他们和另外的霍比特人皮平、梅里则在另外一群新盟军会合，准备在艾辛格发动另一波攻击，因为黑暗魔君的势力也从中土世界延伸到冈铎王国，于是一场魔戒圣战即将展开。
The company of the Ring is sundered. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin — alone that is, save for a mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
Thus continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.
3.The Return of the King《王者归来》
为了完成摧毁魔戒的使命，佛罗多与山姆、咕噜继续前往末日火山，他将考验自己的忠诚及人性中所有的坚强与软弱；同时，甘道夫、亚拉冈、莱格拉斯、金雳也正积极对抗索伦的攻击，合力捍卫中土世界；刚铎首都米那斯提力斯危在旦夕，亚拉冈拾起王者之剑，并在帕兰诺平原展开一场浴血战役；尽管旅程中不断面临重重危机与挑战，远征队还是奋力迎向光荣的魔戒圣战。
The armies of the Dark Lord are massing as his evil shadow spreads wider. Men, Dwarves, Elves and Ents unite forces to do battles against the dark. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam struggle further into Mordor in their heroic quest to destroy the One Ring.
The devastating conclusion of J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale, begun in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, which includes the Appendices and a revised Index in full.
