Der Schauplatz des Herrn der Ringe ist Mittelerde, eine alternative
Welt, und erzählt wird von der gefahrvollen Quest einiger Gefährten, die in einem dramatischen Kampf gegen das Böse endet.

Durch einen merkwürdigen Zufall fällt dem Hobbit Bilbo Beutlin ein Zauberring zu, dessen Kraft, käme er in die falschen Hände, zu einer absoluten Herrschaft des Bösen führen würde. Bilbo übergibt den Ring an seinen Neffen Frodo, der den Ring in der Schicksalskluft zerstören soll. Hobbits sind kleine, gemütliche Leute, dabei aber erstaunlich zäh. Sie leben in einem ländlichen Idyll, dem Auenland.

Work Description

THE RETURN OF THE KING, which brings to a close the great epic of war and adventure begun in The Fellowship of the Ring and continued in The Two Towers, is the third and final part of J. R. R. Tolkien's masterpiece, "The Lord of the Rings."

In these three books, which form one continuous narrative, Tolkien created the saga of the Hobbits of Middle-earth and the great War of the Rings. Praised by such writers and poets as W. H. Auden, Richard Hughes and C. S. Lewis, "The Lord of the Rings" - that special world of beauty and terror and meaning - holds a secure place among the books that will live.
