Opplysninger	På omslaget: The Lord of the rings part 2. - innbundet. - Classic hardback edition of the second volume of The Lord of the Rings, featuring Tolkien's original unused dust-jacket design. Includes special packaging and the definitive edition of the text, with fold-out map. Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs. Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. This classic hardback features Tolkien's original unused dust-jacket design, and its text has been fully restored with almost 400 corrections - with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien - making it the definitive version, and as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Tolkien intended. Also included is the original red and black map of the Shire as a foldout sheet. - Tolkien skapte en egen verden i fortellingene om hobbitene, små menneskelignende skapninger. Ringenes herre er en (uavhengig) fortsettelse av Hobbiten. Hobbitene lever i en verden ukjent for oss. Emnet i bøkene er dog kjent; kampen mellom det gode (hobbiter) og onde (Sauron). For at Sauron skal få ubegrenset makt, må han få tak i en spesiell ring, maktens ring. Skal ringen miste sin kraft, må den kastes i Dommedags juv i Mordors land. Den som eier ringen for lenge, blir ødelagt av dens krefter
