The Return of the King is the third part of JRR Tolkien's epic masterpiece The Lord of the Rings. This 50th anniversary edition features special packaging and is the first paperback edition to include the definitive edition of the text. Impossible to describe in a few words, JRR Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a vast new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal. Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its first publication, the text has been fully restored with almost 400 corrections - with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien - making it the definitive version of the text, and as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Tolkien wanted. In addition to now having the definitive version of the text, this paperback features special packaging to commemorate the golden anniversary of the Nation's Big Read.

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...
