J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece was brought into live in The
Lord of the Rings trilogy movies? If you do, then here's the shortest big line.
This is actually (or at least meant by the author as) a single novel, but it published into three volumes, namely The Fellowship of the
Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. While The Hobbit is a
stand alone novel, of which story is the background of the events found
in the trilogy.
The most widely read and influential fantasy of all time, it is also quite simply one of the most memorable and beloved tales ever told.
Originally published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings set the framework upon which all epic/quest fantasy since has been built.
Story
Through the urgings of the enigmatic wizard Gandalf, young hobbit Frodo Baggins embarks on an urgent, incredibly treacherous journey to destroy the One Ring. This ring created and then lost by the Dark Lord, Sauron, centuries earlier is a weapon of evil, one that Sauron desperately wants returned to him. With the power of the ring once again his own, the Dark Lord will unleash his wrath upon all of Middle-earth. The only way to prevent this horrible fate from becoming reality is to return the Ring to Mordor, the only place it can be destroyed. Unfortunately for our heroes, Mordor is also Sauron's lair. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is essential reading not only for fans of fantasy but for lovers of classic literature as well
