Four-volume boxed-set edition of The Lord of the Rings in hardback, featuring Tolkien’s original unused dust-jacket designs, together with fourth hardback volume. The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion includes special features and the definitive edition of the text.
Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike, with one hundred and fifty million copies of its many editions sold around the world. In 2005 Tolkien’s text was fully restored — with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien — with almost 400 corrections, the original red and black maps as fold-out sheets, a fully revised and enlarged index, and for the first time a special plate section containing the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, making this set as close as possible to the version that J.R.R. Tolkien intended.
This Diamond Anniversary reissue of the prized boxed set marks 60 years since the first publication of The Fellowship of the Ring. These hardback editions feature Tolkien’s original unused dust-jacket designs from the 1950s, reworked for this edition, and some additional text corrections. The four-volume boxed set includes The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion, a unique annotated guide to the text, fully updated since its first publication in 2005, and is a book which will enhance the reader’s enjoyment and understanding of one of the most influential books of the 20th century.

1. The Fellowship of the Ring《护戒同盟》
史前世界中，一位名叫佛罗多巴金的年轻人，无意中得到了一只魔戒。这只戒指拥有无穷的神秘力量，戒指原来是黑暗君王索伦所有的，却意外地到了佛罗多手里。佛罗多决定将戒指摧毁，以免索伦夺回去巩固自己的势力。索伦为了阻止佛罗多，于是派出了手下的怪兽加以追杀，一场正邪大战眼看着一触即发……
In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-Earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power — the only thing that prevents the dark lord’s evil dominion.

The company of the Ring is sundered. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin — alone that is, save for a mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
Thus continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.

精彩书摘
When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.
Bilbo was very rich and very peculiar, and had been the wonder of the Shire for sixty years, ever since his remarkable disappearance and unexpected return. The riches he had brought back from his travels had now become a local legend, and it was popularly believed, whatever the old folk might say, that the Hill at Bag End was full of tunnels stuffed with treasure. And if that was not enough for fame, there was also his prolonged vigour to marvel at. Time wore on, but it seemed to have little effect on Mr. Baggins. At ninety he was much the same as at fifty. At ninety-nine they began to call him well-preserved, but unchanged would have been nearer the mark. There were some that shook their heads and thought this was too much of a good thing; it seemed unfair that anyone should possess (apparently) perpetual youth as well as (reputedly) inexhaustible wealth.
“It will have to be paid for,” they said. “It isn’t natural, and trouble will come of it!”
But so far trouble had not come; and as Mr. Baggins was generous with his money, most people were willing to forgive him his oddities and his good fortune. He remained on visiting terms with his relatives (except, of course, the Sackville-Bagginses), and he had many devoted admirers among the hobbits of poor and unimportant families. But he had no close friends, until some of his younger cousins began to grow up.
