Lord of the Rings Trilogy

“The Lord of the Rings” is three-volume book featuring an epic adventure story combined with action and fantasy, written by J.R.R. Tolkien. The three epics are “The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Two Towers,” and “The Return of the King.” The novels were adapted into trilogy films, which were released in 2001, 2002, and 2003. The films, however, featured some deviations from the original source of the story. The Lord of the Rings is set in the fictional world called Middle-earth. It depicts the adventurous and perilous voyage of a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins who was tasked to destroy the One Ring to ensure the final destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron.
