Building on the story begun in The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring this is the second part of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece The Lord of the Rings featuring an exclusive cover image from the film the definitive text and a detailed map of Middle-earth.

Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard Gandalf in the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros Boromir seduced by the power of the Ring tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs.

Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin – alone that is save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

约翰·罗纳德·瑞尔·托尔金（J.R.R. Tolkien）（1892-1973），英国文豪，天才的语言学家，牛津大学默顿学院英国语言与文学教授，1919—1920年牛津英语词典（OED）的编委。他以瑰丽的想像和精深的语言，建立了一个英语世界的全新神话体系。托尔金的雄心壮志不在于写作一个传奇故事，或一部史诗。在他所创作的一系列中洲史诗中，影响最为深远的是《霍比特人》（The Hobbit：There and Back Again） 和《魔戒》（The Lord of the Rings）。这两部巨作被誉为当代奇幻作品的鼻祖，至今已畅销2.5亿余册，被翻译成60余种语言。美国每年销售的大约一亿本平装书中，就有四分之一可以追溯到托尔金的作品。

《魔戒》被票选为“两千年以来最重要的书”。由托尔金小说改编的电影《指环王》、《霍比特人》掀起21世纪奇幻文艺的全面复兴，世界拜倒在他脚下。
