The standard harcover edition of the concluding volume of The Lord of the Rings includes a large format fold-out map and extensive appendices. As the Shadow of Mordor grows across the land, the Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures. Aragorn, revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, has joined with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, and takes part in the desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by Orcs, escape into Fangorn Forest and there encounter the Ents. Gandalf has miraculously returned and defeated the evil wizard, Saruman. Sam has left his master for dead after a battle with the giant spider, Shelob; but Frodo is still alive -- now in the foul hands of the Orcs. And all the while the armies of the Dark Lord are massing as the One Ring draws ever nearer to the Cracks of Doom.

Livro excelente!

Tolkien apresenta uma narrativa ainda mais cativante e a história possui um épico final. O legal é que não fica nenhuma ponta solta, sabemos como termina a saga de todos os personagens! Leia os apêndices, lá consta o fechamento de todas as histórias, inclusive de queridas personalidades do "Hobbit", bem como momentos não mencionados na trama dos Anéis. Só senti falta de maior aparição de Tom Bombadil...
