The second volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure THE LORD
OF THE RINGS
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to
find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind
them
Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset
by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling
into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom.
They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria.
And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by
force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company
was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great
River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping
figure that follows wherever they go.
“Among the
greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book
presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and creatures, from
the beauty of Lothlórien to the horror of Mordor.” –
