Book description
Concluding the story of The Hobbit, this is the final part of Tolkien's
epic master piece.
Impossible to describe in a few words, 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. 'The story moves on with a tremendous
narrative rush to its climax… extraordinary imaginative work, part saga,
part allegory, and wholly exciting.'
The Times
'A triumphant close… a grand piece of work, grand in both conception
and execution. An astonishing imaginative tour de force.'
Sunday Telegraph J. R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished
academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of
the Rings, The Silmarillion and The Children of Hurin, plus other
stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 50
languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
