Lord Of The Rings

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to fetch them all and in the darkness bind them

In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and even though he sought it all around Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After a great deal of ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.

From Sauron’s fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, his power disseminate far and wide. Sauron gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would finish his dominion.

When Bilbo reached his eleventy-first birthday he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest: to traveling all over Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destruct the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.

The Lord of the Rings tells of the outstanding quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

This new edition includes the fiftieth-anniversary to a complete degree corrected text setting and, for the original time, an broad new index.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), beloved all around the world as the creator of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. His chief interest was the linguistic distinct features of the early English written tradition, but while he studied classic works of the past, he was creating a set of his own.

ReviewA Christian may closely be forgiven for not reading the Bible, but there’s no salvation for a fantasy fan who hasn’t read the gospel of the genre, J.R.R. Tolkien’s definitive three-book epic, the Lord of the Rings (encompassing The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), and it is charming precursor, The Hobbit. That galore (if not most) fantasy works are in a great deal of way derivative of Tolkien is understood, but the influence of the Lord of the Rings is so universal that every one from George Lucas to Led Zeppelin has appropriated it for one intent or another.

Not just revolutionary because it was groundbreaking, the Lord of the Rings is timeless because it’s the product of a genuinely top-shelf mind. Tolkien was a discerned linguist and Oxford scholar of dead languages, with strong ideas when it comes to the importance of myth and story and a deep appreciation of nature. His epic, 10 years in the making, recounts the Great War of the Ring and the closing of Middle-Earth’s Third Age, a time when magic begins to fade from the world and men rise to dominance. Tolkien cautiously details this transition with tremendous skill and love, creating in the Lord of the Rings a universal and all-embracing tale, a justly celebrated classic. –Paul Hughes

5The finest edition of LOTR ever published
By Larry D. Curtis
While the price of this book is steep, this is without apparent effort the best version of this book in print. The gilded pages and high-quality leather look, smell and feel wonderful. This is not the questionable quality leather employed on former versions, this is the real deal. More importantly, this version has, as J.R.R. recorded in letters, reproductions of the Book of Marzubul. These are the pages from the Dwarven book found in the Mines of Moria by Gandalf and the Fellowship. In the begining and ending of the book are also included maps that fold out to render Middle-earth for the reader, again as the author in the first place wanted.

This is the book that Tolkien dreamed of having published but couldn’t due to the realities of post-WWII publishing costs and questions in regards to a 400,000 word publication.

For me, there is an emtoional response to this book for two reasons. One, it is as fine or better than the book the author in the first place wished to have published and two, it is a pretty piece of art all on it is own, suitable for display. If you love books or love Tolkien or both, this is a ought to have and the centerpiece of any worthy collection.

(Some are commenting that the book isn’t genuinely leather. Be sure to check your version as there are others available, but the info provided to me stated my copy was leather and if it is fake, it befooled me.)

5My sheer favored book
By Chad M. Brick
This is not a review of Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”. Its having been voted “The Greatest Book of the Millenium” here on Amazon.com says more than sufficient with regards to the worth of Tolkien’s work. Rather, it is a review of the assorted hardcover editions of this fantastic story.

There are for major hardcover editions of LOTR, all published by Houghton Mifflin Co. They are basically the same price, so I will not take that into consideration.

The best of the editions (5 stars) is the blue Alan Lee illustrated version printed in Nov 1991. I have owned this book for assorted years, and read it three times. It is durable, beautiful, and has no flaws that I have found. The illustrations are wonderful, though most Tolkien fans will have seen these pictures before.

The red edition printed in Nov 1974 is also a solid edition of the book (4 stars). It is each bit as good as the blue version, but does not have the illustrations. If you are the type of reader that alternatively chooses to leave everything to your imagination, this is the version for you.

Both the blue and red versions have corresponding editions of “The Hobbit” (Houghton Mifflin, Sep 1997 or Oct 1973, respectively). I found both of these editions to be satisfactory.

The other two major editions of LOTR – the white three-volume edition from Oct 1988 and the black seven-volume edition from Jan 2000 – are not commended (2 stars). The print quality in both is poor, and the durability is less than that of the red and blue versions. The only vantage of these editions is portability, as the red and blue versions are single-volume and rather hefty.

Ramble on….

5Review on Editions
By Jeff Sun
Houghton Mifflin Co published three editions of the one-volume LOTR, all of which include the finish text and the appendices:

This 1991 centennial edition has greatest text. It includes lasting binding, smooth white pages, shiny illustrations, an illustrated cover jacket, and an red ribbon bookmark sewn into the binding. However, the book is the greatest LOTR book I’ve ever seen in my life — It’s rather hefty.

There is a red, faux-leather collector’s edition published in 1974. It is more or less littler in dimensions equated to the centennial edition and weighs substantially less. The cover is pretty and unmatched in elegance. Chapter headings and margin headings are in orange red. The pages are somewhat tinted yellow, as smooth as the centennial edition, and seem to emit a pleasant flagrance. However, there is “broken type” on almost each page because the text is not conventionally set, but rather a photo offset from another edition. (Conventionally set text would read like a Word document printed with a laser printer. Photo offset would be as if one had scanned that laser-printed World document into a JPEG, and reprinted out that JPEG.) The binding of this edition also seems to be of lesser quality than the 1991 centennial edition.

There is likewise the LOTR Movie Art Cover edition printed in June of 2001. Like the centennial edition’s cover illustration, this edition’s movie art is also on a cover jacket. I am not too intimate with this edition, but from casual browsing, I’ve found that the text, even though smallest, looks the most “conventionally set,” and the pages are of the same quality as the centennial edition. The book is littler in height and width but thicker than the collector’s edition. The binding looks solid enough, but there is no movie art in the book.

My personal favored is the centennial edition.
