作品紹介・あらすじ

Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkien's own design, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Part of a set of three paperbacks, this popular edition is once again available in its classic black livery designed by Tolkien himself.

ガンダルフが渋い。英語版だからよく判んないけれど。それでも、面白い。洋書ならではの雰囲気が楽しめます。

アメリカに居たときに読んだ。
和書を知らずにいきなり読んだから、
帰国後に『指輪物語』のほうを見て吃驚した。
『指輪物語』は・・・あまりの読み難さに挫折して、
あれから読んでいない（笑）。
