The story begins with Frodo, the Lord of the Rings, who unwittingly inherits a ring, only to find that this ring is the key to the demon king's delay in ruling the world. He also fell into a situation in which both good and evil fought against each other. After many twists and turns, he learned that he had to carry the ring into the devil's territory to destroy the evil root of Mount Doom. So, led by the wizard Gandalf, a Lord of the Rings expedition composed of elves, dwarves, hobbits, rangers and humans tried to escort Frodo to the devil's lair. But the dark ones are not fuel-efficient. The demon king Sauron sent the black knight to search everywhere. He was determined to launch an army invasion at all costs, just to find this small ring. And the Lord of the Rings, which has unparalleled power, has begun to corrode people's hearts and make people fall into the temptation of darkness. Just like the foolish behavior of evil forces, the good forces are also divided by the Lord of the Rings. In this way, Frodo and his party embarked on a long journey without hope ... This is the most magnificent epic work since the 20th century, with many vivid characters and rich plot changes, which not only attracted many readers, but also became the most famous fantasy novel in the world.
If we want to choose a literary work that is the most successful in the British and American literary circles in the last century, the most influential in the English-speaking world and the most popular in the world, these laurels may be the epic fantasy masterpiece The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In the mid-1950s, J.R.R Tolkien, a professor of medieval English language at Oxford University in England, published The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, which caused an uproar in Britain, America and even the whole world. So far, it has been translated into 25 different languages and sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. The The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was rated as the greatest book of the 20th century by many readers. No wonder some China people who are familiar with The Lord of the Rings's trilogy call it The Journey to the West.
Tolkien's world transcends the limits of national boundaries, language and age, and resonates with readers all over the world, perhaps because it loads the love and hate of human nature into a magical and distant world, and describes this story about survival and courage, friendship and self-sacrifice with majestic momentum. In 100 of the 20th century, no writer dared to write such a masterpiece, so it can even be said that Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy is of epoch-making significance, because the wave it caused gave birth to a brand-new literary type: fantasy literature. Since then, countless novels, videos, role-playing games, electronic games, comics or movies have been directly or indirectly inspired by it, and an unprecedented booming market has been born.
However, who would have thought that the inspiration for the creation of this series of The Lord of the Rings novels, which fascinated the whole world, came from a bedtime story-Tolkien once made up a story of "Habizu" to put his son to sleep before writing The Lord of the Rings. As the story became more and more complete, the prototype of The Lord of the Rings trilogy was born. Tolkien organized it systematically, re-created it and published it, and a masterpiece was born.
So, what is "Habizu" and the "Middle-earth" where they live? Let's walk into Tolkien's fantasy field and get to know it.
If you want to know the story of The Lord of the Rings, you must first understand what "Habizu" and "Middle Earth" are like watching The Journey to the West. You must first know who Tang Priest is and when the Tang Dynasty was.
"Middle-earth" is in what we call the Middle Ages. In this world, there are strange creatures such as dwarves, elves, wizards, tree people and orcs, and Ha Bizu is one of these ethnic groups. Their appearance is very close to that of human beings, but they are relatively short, generally only about 4 feet, which is equivalent to the height of our ordinary human children. Hobbits have big curly feet and pointed ears, and like to taste delicious food, smoke a pipe, tell jokes and take a nap. Habizu is used to living in beautifully decorated caves and living an uncontested farming life.
Ok, let's begin our "Lord of the Rings" story:
Bilbo baggins is an old Hobbit. On his 10 birthday, he decided to leave his hometown and give all his property to his nephew frodo baggins. However, the only thing Bilbo can't give up is a ring that can make the holder invisible, but according to him, it's just a worthless gadget. Gandalf, the guardian of Habizu, has doubts about this ring. He studied a lot of history books desperately, and as a result, his worst fears came true. He told Frodo what he had found:
Thousands of years ago, darkseid Soren created the Ring of Power. He gave three of the rings to the Elf King, seven to the Dwarf nobles and nine to humans. In the dark, Sauron forged a supreme ring, which has the power to enslave the whole world. For a whole century, the whole world was shrouded in darkness. The elf-human alliance declared war on Thrawn and his orc army. Although the alliance paid a great sacrifice, it successfully drove Soren back to his last base-Mount Doom-Mordor. Thrawn was forced to go into battle to kill the enemy himself, killing the human emperor Earendil and crushing his Nasir sword on the battlefield. Then isidore, the prince of Earendil, picked up the fragments of the sword, used it to cut off Sauron's fingers and took the ring. Sauron, who lost his strength, was annihilated on the spot, and the troops also fled.
After the battle, Ehrlund, the elf king, suggested that isildur throw the Lord of the Rings into the flames of Mount Doom and destroy it completely. But isildur was bewitched by the power of the ring and decided to keep it. He soon found that this ring can give him invisible power, but as long as he takes off the ring, this power will disappear. Orc troops found him invisible and took the opportunity to kill him. The ring then sank to the bottom of the Anduin River and remained in Ji Shen for thousands of years until groome became its new owner.
Like the previous Lord of the Rings holders, groome was bewitched by the power of the Ring. He turned out to be a creature similar in appearance to Habizu, but the depraved power of the Lord of the Rings distorted his body and mind. He finally hid in the orc's lair in the misty mountains until he ran into bilbo baggins. He doesn't know that the fate of the whole world is in his hands.
After Bilbo's birthday party, Gandalf told Frodo that Soren knew that Habizu had his ring. Thrawn is rebuilding the fortress of Balado, gathering countless orcs, and preparing to seize the Lord of the Rings and conquer the world with a great army. He also told Frodo that the power of the Lord of the Rings would corrupt the holder, and eventually he would die. To destroy the ring, you must throw it into the flame that originally cast it; That's Mount Doom in Sauron's lair.
So, accompanied by faithful partners Sam Wise, Melly and Pippin, Frodo embarked on a journey to destroy the Lord of the Rings. Along the way, they constantly met Sauron's minions-the besieged black knights (these knights are also called Linlin), and they also met the imprisonment of Saruman, a white wizard with ulterior motives, and the terrible attack of Everett. Fortunately, Frodo and his Lord of the Rings expeditions saved the day again and again with the protection and help of the chivalrous Alegon, the elf princess Irwin, the human warrior Boromir, the elf queen Granriel, the elf Legolas, the dwarf Jin Li and the wizard Gandalf. However, what can really stop Frodo from destroying the ring is the ring itself: the power of the ring alienates Frodo from others, and at the same time makes Frodo himself deeper and deeper. ...
Can Frodo fulfill the entrustment of many ethnic groups in Middle-earth, completely destroy the Lord of the Rings and bring eternal light to everyone? The Lord of the Rings Trilogy will give us a satisfactory answer.
