Immerse yourself in Middle-earth with Tolkien’s classic masterpieces behind the films, telling the complete story of Bilbo Baggins and the Hobbits’epic encounters with Gandalf, Gollum, dragons and monsters, in the quest to destroy the One Ring.

When they were first published, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings became instant classics. Treasured by readers young and old, these works of sweeping fantasy, steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness have sold more than 150 million copies around the world.

This new boxed gift set, published to celebrate the release of the first of Peter Jackson’s three-part film adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit, THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, contains both titles and features cover images from both films.

It offers readers a new opportunity to discover Tolkien’s remarkable world of Middle-earth and to follow the complete story of Bilbo Baggins and the Hobbits’part in the epic quest for the Ring—beginning with Bilbo’s fateful visit from Gandalf and culminating in the dramatic climax between Frodo and Gollum atop Mount Doom.

本书为读者提供了一个新的机会，让他们发现托尔金的中土世界，并跟随比尔博·巴金斯的完整故事和霍比特人在探索中所扮演的角色——从比尔博对甘道夫的宿命之旅开始，在弗罗多和咕噜之间的戏剧性中登顶。

The Hobbit《霍比特人》

比尔博·巴金斯是一个热爱安逸生活的霍比特人，他毫无野心，自得其乐地待在袋底洞他的霍比特洞府里。清晨和煦，睿智巫师甘道夫的到来打破了宁静。“越过冰冷而又雾蒙蒙的大山，在那深深地下洞穴已有千年……”吟着古老的歌谣，十三个矮人将比尔博硬拽进冒险远行的队伍。他们密谋突袭邪恶巨龙斯毛格的洞窟，夺回属于自己的千年宝藏。在这趟“意外之旅”之中，比尔博这个与世无争的霍比特人，却孤身一人在暗如永夜的山底洞穴中发现了足以改变整个世界的小小戒指。

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey“there and back again”. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…

The Fellowship of the Ring《魔戒同盟》

史前世界中，一位名叫佛罗多巴金的年轻人，无意中得到了一只魔戒。这只戒指拥有无穷的神秘力量，戒指原来是黑暗君王索伦所有的，却意外地到了佛罗多手里。佛罗多决定将戒指摧毁，以免索伦夺回去巩固自己的势力。索伦为了阻止佛罗多，于是派出了手下的怪兽加以追杀，一场正邪大战眼看着一触即发……

In a sleepy village in the Shire,a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-Earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power—the only thing that prevents the dark lord’s evil dominion. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

The Two Towers《双塔奇兵》

霍比特人佛罗多和山姆，继续前往魔多山要完成摧毁魔戒的任务，同时阿拉冈他们和另外的霍比特人皮平、梅里则在另外一群新盟军会合，准备在艾辛格发动另一波攻击，因为黑暗魔君的势力也从中土世界延伸到冈铎王国，于是一场魔戒圣战即将展开。

The company of the Ring is sundered. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone that is, save for a mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. Thus continues the classic tale begun inThe Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.

The Return of the King《王者归来》

为了完成摧毁魔戒的使命，佛罗多与山姆、咕噜继续前往末日火山，他将考验自己的忠诚及人性中所有的坚强与软弱；同时，甘道夫、亚拉冈、莱格拉斯、金雳也正积极对抗索伦的攻击，合力捍卫中土世界；刚铎首都米那斯提力斯危在旦夕，亚拉冈拾起王者之剑，并在帕兰诺平原展开一场浴血战役；尽管旅程中不断面临重重危机与挑战，远征队还是奋力迎向光荣的魔戒圣战。

The armies of the Dark Lord are massing as his evil shadow spreads wider. Men, Dwarves, Elves and Ents unite forces to do battles against the dark. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam struggle further into Mordor in their heroic quest to destroy the One Ring.
