The middle novel in The Lord of the Rings—the greatest fantasy epic of all time—which began in The Fellowship of the Ring, and which reaches its magnificent climax in The Return of the King. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read The Fellowship is scattered. Some brace hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Others must contend with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam are left to take the One Ring, ruler of the accursed Rings of Power, to be destroyed in Mordor, the dark realm where Sauron is supreme. Their guide is Gollum, deceitful and obsessive slave to the corruption of the Ring.
Ake Ohlmarks Books
Åke Joel Ohlmarks was a Swedish author, translator, and scholar of religion. His translation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings was strongly disliked by the author himself. Ohlmarks took significant liberties, shortening parts of the work and inserting his own interpretations. This divergence from the original text prompted Tolkien to compile his own guide to the names within his creation, highlighting Ohlmarks's unique, albeit controversial, approach to translation.
