Description

The Fellowship of the Ring is the opening volume of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved epic saga, The Lord of the Rings.

One ring exists to rule all others: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.”

Long ago, skilled Elven-smiths forged the Rings of Power. Secretly, the Dark Lord Sauron created the One Ring himself, pouring his own dark strength into it so he could control all the others. Yet the One Ring was eventually taken from Sauron’s grasp and became lost, hidden across the ages of Middle-earth. Many years later, it resurfaced and fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins—as described in Tolkien’s earlier work, The Hobbit.

Now, in a quiet village tucked away in the Shire, Bilbo’s younger cousin Frodo discovers that he has inherited not only the Ring, but also a perilous responsibility. Entrusted by Bilbo to keep the Ring safe, Frodo must set out on a hazardous and epic journey, traveling across Middle-earth toward Mount Doom, where he must destroy the Ring forever, thwarting the evil Dark Lord’s plan.

Praised by critics as profoundly meaningful and astonishingly detailed, Tolkien’s creation offers readers an immersive adventure set in a meticulously crafted world drawn from the depths of mythology and storytelling tradition.
