Depuis sa publication en 1954-1955, le récit des aventures de Frodo et de ses compagnons, traversant la Terre du Milieu au péril de leur vie pour détruire l'Anneau forgé par Sauron, a enchanté des dizaines de millions de lecteurs, de tous les âges. Chef-d'œuvre de la fantasy, découverte d'un monde imaginaire, de sa géographie, de son histoire et de ses langues, mais aussi réflexion sur le pouvoir et la mort, Le Seigneur des Anneaux est sans équivalent par sa puissance d'évocation, son souffle et son ampleur. Cette nouvelle traduction prend en compte la dernière version du texte anglais, les indications laissées par Tolkien à l'intention des traducteurs et les découvertes permises par les publications posthumes proposées par Christopher Tolkien. Ce volume contient 18 illustrations d'Alan Lee, entièrement re-numérisées, d'une qualité inégalée, ainsi que deux cartes (en couleur) de la Terre du Milieu et du Comté.
favorite novel of all time. better than any other fantasy world imo. Tolkein is a mastermind.
(Note: review based on one of numerous rereading of the book.)
What started out as a request for another story about hobbits (after the success of "The Hobbit") grew in the telling until it became an epic tale about the quest to destroy the One Ring of Sauron; and how it was the 'least of heroes', unlooked-for even by the wise, would prove to be one to fulfil the quest and free Middle-Earth from domination by the Dark Lord.
This book has been released in many editions and in many forms over the years. The one I read was a one-volume edition that celebrates the birth of J.R.R. Tolkien and includes fifty paintings specially commissioned from artist Alan Lee.
Reading it now after watching the Peter Jackson films, it is easy to put the actors in the film into the scenes from the book, modified by the illustrations of Alan …

Reading it now after watching the Peter Jackson films, it is easy to put the actors in the film into the scenes from the book, modified by the illustrations of Alan Lee of the various places in Middle-Earth. And after all these years, the words in the book still have the 'power' to bring the reader to Middle-Earth and put you in the footsteps of the Fellowship of the Ring as they strive to do what they can to thwart the plans of Sauron and distract him for the peril that is slowly entering his stronghold on hobbit feet.
I read this as part of my son's bed-time story. There are a lot of dark points in the book but so much about people continuing to try and do their best, even when all hope is lost. It's a great lesson for any child and it's the reason the Lord of the Rings remains one of my favorites.
