Lord Of The Rings & The Hobbit
Introduction：
At 33, the age of adulthood among hobbits, Frodo
Baggins receives a magic Ring of Invisibility from his uncle
Bilbo. Frodo, a Christ-like figure, learns that the ring has
the power to control the entire world and, he discovers, to
corrupt its owner. A fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarfs,
and men is formed to destroy the ring by casting it into the
volcanic fires of the Crack of Doom, where it was forged.
They are opposed on their harrowing mission by the evil
Sauron and his Black Riders.
The Hobbit represents a prequel to the Lord of the
Rings trilogy. Bilbo Baggins lives a quiet, peaceful life in his
comfortable hole at Bag End. His comfort is shattered by
the old wizard Gandalf, who persuades Bilbo to set out on
an adventure with a group of thirteen dwarves on a great
quest to reclaim their treasure from the marauding dragon
Smaug, and Bilbo is to act as their “burglar.”
