The Lord of the Rings

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

The Lord of the Rings could not be described in few words. The sublime work by J.R.R. Tolkien has in itself something from the heroic romantics and classic science fiction. Though, it is difficult to explain to the contemporary reader all the peculiarities of the book, the whole spectrum of its meanings. Either comic and homy, or epic and sometimes even fearsome, the story passes through endless changes of sceneries and characters in the fantastic world each element of which looks entirely realistic. Tolkien has created a new mythology of the imaginary world – the world with its own time and space.
