The new epic, the new myth

In a rising tide above-the Pottermania Rapidly aging comes the sweep of Tolkienmania. In preparation for the three new live-action movies, the famed trilogy is rereleased in a gorgeous new all-in-one volume with movie cover art (tastefully done, it's not just a collage poster or anything)
Years before, the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron Was Discovered in the possession of the creepy Gollum - and cam into the "ownership" of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit pleasant in the middle of an adventure. Now, it Is Given to His relative Frodo, Who soon encounters Both mesmerizing creatures and evil in the Shire. Wizard Gandalf HAS _him_ head off to the city of Rivendell elf, goal along the way and he is attacked This Nearly killed by the sinister Black Riders. It is Determined at Rivendell que la One Ring must be destroyed, and That's the hobbit Frodo to do it. With Gandalf, he sets off with a group of companions: the hobbits Sam, Merry and Pippin, Aragorn and Boromir men, elf Legolas, and Gimli dwarf.
They travel across the length of Middle Earth, from the beautiful Gardenland of Lothlorien to the rotting wasteland of Mordor. Aragorn and the others will Attempt to save the city of Minas Tirith from the armies of Sauron. Frodo and Sam will try to take the Ring to Mount Doom, the only spot Where it can be destroyed. That goal will take a terrible price.
When this book was first published, Tolkien HAD no idea That Would he jump-start the fantasy genre from an odd little collection of fiction to a major share of the book market and ripoffs Would inspires more than Any Other author in history. Lord of the Rings is a sweeping epic of good and evil. Cliche? It is a cliche now, it's goal aussi That spawned LOTR.
What sets it apart is two things: the Judeo-Christian morality and ethics That Tolkien Held so dear, and the crafting of Middle-Earth. If one Carefully examined the themes of temptation, redemption and punishment, as well as the innate nobility of the heroes. I advise aussi, to get the full effect of Tolkien's beliefs, that 'you read the Silmarillion.
Middle Earth is Perhaps The Most intricate fantasy world ever created, with Patricia McKillip's Riddlemaster trilogy's world as a close second. Tolkien crafted not just geology and various species for his world; aussi he created a religious background, complete with a God and a pantheon of angelic creatures deitilike, individual languages, cultures, and several outlooks That are alien to the species --other. Add to this His poetic, strong descriptions, pleasant dialogue, occasional song or poem, and you-have a true classic. The classic status is cemented into immortality by the fact That This Was the first Widely-read fantasy.
A recommendation: If you've already read the trilogy, Then You May want to read smart --other two trilogies, "Children of the Star" and "Riddlemaster." Though They Can not match JRR (who can?) They are two of the best.
If you are one of the Few people Who has never read this trilogy: Put down your Harry Potter and read the story That Introduced the world to fantasy.
