Hélas, pauvres amis, hélas, trois fois hélas ! Saroumane, le Mage Blanc, Gollum, la créature des Monts Brumeux, sont en proie à la soif du pouvoir. Pourquoi cherchent-ils tous l'Anneau Unique ? Frodon, le petit Hobbit, voudrait bien détruire l'objet infernal, mais il n'a pu franchir la Porte Noire. Comment atteindre le Mont du Destin ? Peut-être est-il trop tard : déjà Boromir est mort et la Terre du Milieu se prépare à la Guerre de l'Anneau. Une grande obscurité, issue du Mordor, commence à recouvrir le continent , le seigneur Ténébreux mobilise. Les Rohirrim n'ont plus le temps d'en finir avec le traître assiégé dans l'imprenable tour d'Orthanc ; ils doivent se rassembler pour faire face à l'Ennemi. Frodon tente sa chance une fois de plus, passant par le Haut Col ; et là Gollum, toujours en proie à sa vilenie, le livre à l'abominable Arachné. Frodon va-t-il mourir ? Et que peut faire un simple Hobbit contre le maître du Pays Noir.

Work Description

THE RETURN OF THE KING, which brings to a close the great epic of war and adventure begun in The Fellowship of the Ring and continued in The Two Towers, is the third and final part of J. R. R. Tolkien's masterpiece, "The Lord of the Rings."

In these three books, which form one continuous narrative, Tolkien created the saga of the Hobbits of Middle-earth and the great War of the Rings. Praised by such writers and poets as W. H. Auden, Richard Hughes and C. S. Lewis, "The Lord of the Rings" - that special world of beauty and terror and meaning - holds a secure place among the books that will live.
