Note di copertina:
The Lord of the Rings cannot be descrìbed in a few words. J. R. R. Tolkien's great work has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic of science fic¬tion. It is, however, impossible to convey to the new reader ali of the book's qualitìes, and the range of ite creation. By turns comic, homely, epic, monstrous and diabolic, the narrative moves through coundess changes of scenes and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in ite appeal.
This one volume paperback edition includes the complete unabridged text of the three books, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, that together make up The Lord of the Rings; the Index and full Appendices. This reset edition contains newly drawn maps by Stephen Raw, based on Christopher Tolkien's originai maps.
