About The Fellowship of the Ring
When hobbit Frodo Baggins inherits a magical ring from his uncle, he must embark on a perilous quest to destroy it before the Dark Lord Sauron can reclaim it and conquer Middle-earth. Tolkien creates the definitive work of modern fantasy, establishing virtually every trope and convention that subsequent fantasy literature would follow or subvert. The first volume of The Lord of the Rings that defined epic fantasy as a genre, this masterpiece explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and the corrupting nature of power while creating a fully realized secondary world with its own languages, histories, and mythologies that continues to influence fantasy literature today.
