The Two Towers
J R R Tolkien
The Two Towers is the second part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings.
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, Sauron, by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard Gandalf in a 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 was 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.
“The author has intimate access to an epic tradition of Germanic history, civilized by the gentler genius of modern England.” The New York Times “Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and new creatures, from the beauty of Lothlorien to the horror of Mordor, adventures to hold us spell-bound, and words of beauty and evocation to bring all vividly before us.” — Sunday Telegraph
A fabulously compiled and presented, fully illustrated volume that is almost off-the-shelf. Has some small spotting at edge of pages but otherwise new looking. Terrific chance to own this collectors edition
