Synopsis "The Return of the King (Lord of the Rings, Part 3) (Vol 3) (in English)"

Concluding the story of The Hobbit, this is the final part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien’s own design, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth.The armies of the Dark Lord Sauron are massing as his evil shadow spreads even wider. Men, Dwarves, Elves and Ents unite forces to do battle against the Dark. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam struggle further into Mordor, guided by the treacherous creature Gollum, in their heroic quest to destroy the One Ring…JRR Tolkien’s great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a vast new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal.Part of a set of three paperbacks, this popular edition is once again available in its classic black livery designed by Tolkien himself.

"John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (Bloemfontein, hoy Sudáfrica; 3 de enero de 1892-Bournemouth, Dorset; 2 de septiembre de 1973), a menudo citado como J. R. R. Tolkien o JRRT, fue un escritor, poeta, filólogo, lingüista y profesor universitario británico, nacido en Sudáfrica. Conocido principalmente por ser el autor de las novelas clásicas de fantasía heroica El hobbit, El Silmarillion y El Señor de los Anillos.

De 1925 a 1945, Tolkien ocupó la cátedra Rawlinson y Bosworth en la Universidad de Oxford, enseñando anglosajón y, de 1945 a 1959, fue profesor de Lengua y Literatura inglesa en Merton. Era amigo cercano del también escritor C. S. Lewis y ambos eran miembros de un informal grupo de debate literario conocido como los Inklings. Tolkien fue nombrado Comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico por la reina Isabel II el 28 de marzo de 1972.1"
