Voyager Classics – The Return of the King: v. 3 - Tapa blanda

‘A triumphant close... a grand piece of work, grand in both conception and execution. An astonishing imaginative tour de force.’ Daily Telegraph

‘The story moves on with a tremedous narrative rush to its climax...extraordinarily imaginative work, part saga, part allegory, and wholly exciting.’ The Times

The third and final part of J R R Tolkien’s epic masterpiece The Lord of the Rings, now part of the Voyager Classics series.

The Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures as the quest continues. Aragorn, revealed as the hidden heir of the ancient Kings of the West, joined with the Riders of Rohan against the forces of Isengard, and took part in the desperate victory of the Hornburg. Merry and Pippin, captured by the orcs, escaped to Fangorn Forest and there encountered the Ents.

Gandalf returned, miraculously, and defeated the evil wizard, Saruman. Meanwhile, Sam and Frodo progressed towards Mordor to destroy the Ring. After a battle with the giant spider, Shelob, Sam left his master for dead; but Frodo is still alive – in the hands of the orcs. And all the time the armies of the Dark Lords are amassing.
