内容简介

《魔戒第3部:王者归来》的写作动机是，一个讲故事的人想用一部真正的长篇故事来吸引读者的注意力，取悦他们，也许还能时不时令他们兴奋，叩打他们的心扉。如何取悦人或感动人，我惟有靠自己的感觉作为向导，而在许多时候，这个向导往往成为误导。一些读过《魔戒第3部:王者归来》或对《魔戒第3部:王者归来》做过评论的人会认为故事很乏味、荒唐甚至不堪卒读，对此我毫无怨言，因为我对他们的作品，或对他们特别喜欢的作品也会有同感。即便是在许多喜欢《魔戒第3部:王者归来》故事的人眼里，也会觉得其中有不少不敢恭维之处。或许一部长篇故事没法处处令大家喜欢，但同样也不会处处让各位生厌。

The awesome conclusion to The Lord of the Rings--the greatest fantasy epic of all time--which began in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.

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

While the evil might of the Dark Lord Sauron swarms out to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggle deep into Mordor, seat of Sauron's power. To defeat the Dark Lord, the One Ring, ruler of the accursed Rings of Power, must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. But the way is impossibly hard, and Frodo is weakening. Weighed down by the compulsion of the Ring, he begins finally to despair.

作者简介

约翰·罗纳德·鲁埃尔·托尔金（1892—1973）是牛津大学教授，古英语专家，写了不少小说，其中极其出名的是《霍比特人》（又译作《小矮人历险记》〈1937〉）与《魔戒》（1954—1955）。

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.
