Lord of the Rings: the fellowship of the ring (The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring) (№ 398603)

It all started with the casting of the Great Rings.
Three were transferred to the elves, immortal creatures, the wisest and fairest of all living.
Seven given to the lords of the dwarves, great miners of gems and famous mountain caves.
And Nine... Nine Rings were passed to the human race, who above all craved power.
For within these Rings was bound the power of government over each of the Nations.
But they were deceived.
Because it was made for another Ring.
In the country Mordor, in the fires of mount doom the dark Lord Sauron secretly created the one Ring, obey all others.
And into this Ring he put his cruelty, all the anger and all thirst for power over every living thing.
One Ring is capable to rule them all.
One after another - free lands of middle-earth fell to the power of the Ring.
But there were those who rebelled against evil.
A last Alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor to the slopes of mount doom to fight for the freedom of middle-earth.
The victory was close.
But the power of the Ring could not be overcome.
But at that moment, when all hope had faded, Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword...
Sauron, the enemy of the free people of middle earth, was defeated.
The ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever.
But the hearts of the people easily succumb to the temptation, and the Ring of Power has a will of its own.
The ring betrayed Isildur and led him to his death.
And much has been forgotten, then forget I shouldn't have...
History became legend, legend became myth and for two and a half thousand years the Ring has faded into obscurity.
Until then, until a case brought in its network of the new owner.
The ring was given to a creature named Gollum, which took it deep into the tunnels of the misty mountains.
And there the Ring consumed him.
The ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. Five hundred years it poisoned his soul and in the darkness of Gollum's cave, waiting in the wings.
Again deepened the gloom over the forests of the earth. Rumors about the darkness from the East, whispers of a nameless fear...
The ring of Power too long, it was his time.
The ring abandoned Gollum.
But something happened were not part of the plans for the Ring: it was picked up by the most unexpected creature that you can imagine - the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.
The time will come when hobbits will be the fate of all living things...
