A propos de cet article

Three fabulous hardback books, all in red cloth, nice gilt titles on the spine, complete with their beautiful dust jackets, not price clipped. All three books are in super condition, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. First published in 1954, these three books are the second revised editions published in 1966. Printed in Great Britain in 11 on 12-point Imprint type by Jarrold & Sons Ltd, Norwich. 1. The Fellowship of Rings has 423 pages, includes pull-out map at the rear of the book, also last blank page has small tear to edge of paper. 2. The Two Towers has 352 pages, includes pull-out map at the rear of the book. 3. The Return of the King has 540 pages, includes pull-out map at the rear of the book. All pages in all three books are intact, and all text, illustrations and maps are in really good clean, readable order. The Lord of the Rings is not a book to be described in a few sentences. It is an heroic romance, something which has scarcely been attempted on this scale since Spenser's Faerie Queene, so one can't praise the book with comparisons, there is nothing to compare it with. What can I say then? continues Richard Hughes, for width of imagination it almost beggars parallel, and it is nearly as remarkable for its vividness and for the narrative skill which carries the reader on, enthralled, for page after page. By an extraordinary feat of the imagination Mr Tolkien has created, and maintains in every detail, a new mythology in an invented world. As for the story itself, it is really super science fiction, declared Naomi Mitchison after reading the first part, The Fellowship of the Ring, but it is timeless and will go on and on. A brilliant set of three magnificent books that would grace any stylish library and is an investment into incredible literary storytelling at its finest.…
