THE SUMMARY OF THE LORD OF THR RINGS



"The Lord of the Rings" is a fantasy epic written by J.R.R. Tolkien and originally published as three separate volumes in 1954 and 1955: "The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers," and "The Return of the King." The story is set in the fictional world of Middle-earth and follows the journey of a diverse group of characters as they strive to defeat the dark lord Sauron and destroy the powerful One Ring, which he seeks to use to conquer the world.


Here's a general summary of the three volumes:


"The Fellowship of the Ring":

The story begins with the discovery of the One Ring, a powerful artifact that grants its wielder immense power but also corrupts them. The ring's previous owner, Gollum, loses it, and it eventually comes into the possession of a hobbit named Frodo Baggins. Guided by the wizard Gandalf, Frodo realizes that the only way to prevent Sauron's return is to destroy the ring by casting it into the volcanic Mount Doom in the land of Mordor. Frodo is joined by a group of companions, including Samwise Gamgee, Aragorn (a ranger and heir to the throne of Gondor), Legolas (an elf), Gimli (a dwarf), Boromir (a man of Gondor), Merry, and Pippin (hobbits). This fellowship sets out on a perilous journey to reach Mount Doom.


"The Two Towers":

As the fellowship faces various challenges, it eventually breaks apart. Frodo and Sam continue their journey to Mordor on their own, encountering the treacherous creature Gollum, who was once possessed by the ring. Meanwhile, the other members of the fellowship defend the kingdom of Rohan against the forces of the dark lord Saruman, who serves Sauron. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli also form an alliance with the people of Rohan to stand against the impending threat.


"The Return of the King":

The final volume sees the various storylines converging. Frodo and Sam reach Mordor but face tremendous challenges on their way to Mount Doom. The forces of Sauron launch a massive assault on the city of Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor. Aragorn must unite the peoples of Middle-earth to face this threat while also aiding Frodo's quest. The epic climax encompasses battles, sacrifices, and moments of heroism as the characters confront their destinies and the fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.


"The Lord of the Rings" explores themes of friendship, heroism, power, and the struggle between good and evil. It's a monumental work that has had a profound impact on the fantasy genre and continues to capture the imaginations of readers worldwide.
