The Two Towers - Tolkien, J. R. R.

Paperback. English. Unwin Books. 1974. Used. The second part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, 'The Lord of the Rings'. Impossible to describe in a few words, J R R Tolkien's great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. By turns comic and homely, epic and diabolic, the narrative moves through countless changes of scene and character in an imaginary world which is totally convincing in its detail. Tolkien created a vast new mythology in an invented world which has proved timeless in its appeal. In 'The Two Towers' the Fellowship is sundered. While Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli attempt to rescue the hobbits, Merry and Pippin, Frodo and Sam must journey into Sauron's desolate land of Mordor unprotected and alone. Fantasy
