内容简介

一代又一代的读者被托尔金在《指环王》中描写的神秘中土世界征服，陶醉于其中。根据这部小说改编的电影更是让全世界观众大饱眼福。《指环王》想象瑰丽丰富。

《指环王》是托尔金于1955年创作的作品，小说突破了当时文风的限制，大胆创新，极尽玄奇之能事，富于想像力，开创魔幻小说之先河，托尔金也成为魔幻小说的鼻祖。迄今为止，作品被译成40多种文字，发行量仅次于《圣经》。人们喜欢它不仅是因为其诡异的风格，还因为它刻画出了鲜明的人物性格，如矮人族的果敢、精灵族的沉静、人类的机智、恶魔的凶残，而所有这些特质都是人性的引申。

《指环王》的持久魅力就来源于以灵异的眼光揭示了人性的丑恶，也赞美了友谊与勇气。2001年，这部作品又被成功地搬上荧幕，并一举获得9项奥斯卡奖提名。借着电影热播的效应，小说重又获得人们的青睐，这次成为英国人最喜爱的小说就是明证。

作者简介

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was a major scholar of the English language, specializing in Old and Middle English. Twice Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of Oxford, he also wrote a number of stories, including most famously The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955), which are set in a pre-historic era in an invented version of the world which he called by the Middle English name of Middle-earth. This was peopled by Men (and women), Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Orcs (or Goblins) and of course Hobbits. He has regularly been condemned by the Eng. Lit. establishment, with honorable exceptions, but loved by literally millions of readers worldwide.
