A propos de cet article

Fine unread condition color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Preliminary Page Note re: The Two Towers; Preface by Peter S. Beagle, 14 July 1973; Preliminary Page The Lords of the Rings Quote; Synopsis. Illustrated with a double page black-and-white map frontispiece. "J.R.R. Tollkien's The Lord of the Rings - of which this book is the second part - is a chronicle of the great War of the Ring, which occurred in the Thrid Age of Middle-earth. At that time, the One Ring, the Master of all the Rings of Power, had been held for many years by the hobbits, but was eagerly sought by the Enemy who made it. To its wearer, the One Ring gave mastery over every living creature, but since it was devised by an evil power, in the end it inevitably corrupted anyone who attempted to use it. Out of the struggle to possess and control the One Ring, with all its ominous power, there arose a war comparable both in magnitude and in the issues involved to the grat wars of our own time. And in that war, the Third Age of Middle-earth came to an end. The Two Towers recounts the further adventures of the band of companions introduced in The Fellowship of the Ring. Frodo, unwilling heir to the One Ring, has decided that it is his task and his alone to carrry the Ring back to the Fire that will consume its power for evil. Accompanied only by his servant, Sam Gamgee, he is making hs way eastward to the ghastly borders of Mordor, the Land of the Enemy. Meanwhile, his companions in the fellowship of the Ring are caught in the strategy of the traitor Saruman and pass on to battle and peril in the West. Secure in his immense power the Enemy marshalls his forces. The book ends with the coming of the greata Darkness which opens the terrible War of the Rings. How that war was foungt, and what became of Frodo and his companions is told in the third and final part, The Return of the King." - from the Preliminary Pages. …

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
