內容簡介

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power -- the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring -- the ring that rules them all -- which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

由托爾金所寫的《魔戒》，是一部充滿矮人、精靈、騎士、巫師、半獸人、神仙等等的奇幻探險故事。五十多年來，本書澎湃壯麗的背景，奇特而豐富的人物，帶領了全世界奇幻（Fantasy）創作類型的發展及延伸。讀者所熟悉的飛龍、精靈、架空世界及國族歷史、魔法等等，全是受到《魔戒》的影響。

故事由魔戒持有者佛羅多展開，他在不知情的狀況下繼承了一枚戒指，卻發現這枚戒指是魔王遲遲不能統治世界的關鍵。他也陷入了善惡雙方爭奪的處境中。幾經波折，他才得知必須攜帶魔戒深入魔王的領土，才能在末日火山摧毀這一切邪惡的根源。
