The Lord of the Rings is an epic tale, depicting the fight of good against evil. The book spans three volumes - The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Often mistaken by many as a trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien's epic was too long thus its publishers chose to split it into three volumes. It has been said that Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is truly one of the greatest works of the 20th Century.
The story tells of an ancient time, where the Elven-smiths and The Dark Lord Sauron created the rings of power. He gave the rings to the elves, the humans and the dwarves with the promise of power. He tricked them, thus forging another ring; the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he can rule over all others. But it was taken from him and Sauron the Dark Lord was defeated. Peace filled the Middle Earth, though nobody knew the evil that was spurring in the dark lands of Mordor.
