Edition with magical illustrations by Alan Lee that inspired the filmmakers. COLLECTOR'S EDITION.
In ancient times, elven smiths forged the Rings of Power. But the Dark Lord, created the One Ring in secret to rule the others. But the Ring disappeared for many centuries in Middle-earth before it fell into the hands of a hobbit whose destiny was to destroy it....
In the novel "The Hobbit," Tolkien brought his extraordinary fantasy land to life: the stunning world of Middle-earth. He gave it full shape 17 years later in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy - a fantastic epic, a unique adventure novel based on an ancient legend and with deep ethical overtones. The link between the two books is the Ring. "In The Hobbit" it is simply a magical object, in The Lord of the Rings - already a powerful instrument of evil deciding the fate of the world. A world for which it is not the power of the mind or weapons that becomes its salvation, but a simple reflex of the heart, a purely human - though personified by the hobbit - ability to show mercy.
