The Lord of the Rings, a fantasy epic by J.R.R. Tolkien, follows the journey of a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins, who is tasked with destroying a powerful ring to save Middle-earth from the dark lord Sauron. Set in a richly detailed world, the story weaves together themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Alongside a diverse fellowship that includes elves, dwarves, men, and wizards, Frodo ventures across treacherous lands to reach Mount Doom, the only place where the ring can be destroyed. Tolkien s work has become a cornerstone of modern fantasy literature, beloved for its complex characters, mythic scope, and imaginative world-building.
