In the first book of the celebrated trilogy, events unfold in Tolkien’s fictional world of Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age, when the threat of war arises once again. Frodo, a resident of the Shire, inherits a ring whose true significance is revealed by Gandalf. In Rivendell, representatives of different peoples unite around a common purpose. The central themes are responsibility, loyalty, friendship, moral choice, and resistance to the temptation of power.
