VIRTUAL BOOK EXHIBITION Dedicated TO the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy FIRST publication
J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings saga is a seminal work of fantasy that spawned one of the best film trilogies ever created. Tolkien's story of good vs. evil is built around timeless themes of friendship and heroism, There are four books in Tolkien’s main Middle-earth saga: The Hobbit and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, Return of the King).
The Hobbit follows Thorin and Company — Bilbo, Gandalf, and 13 dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield — as they set off to reclaim the dwarves’ ancestral home beneath Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug. Along the way, we’re introduced to Gollum and discover how Bilbo came into possession of the One Ring.
Nearly two decades after The Hobbit, Tolkien published the first volume of The Lord of the Rings. Frodo is joined by various companions along the way, leading to the formation of The Fellowship of the Ring. The members of the Fellowship — Frodo, Samwise Gamgee, Pippin Took, Merry Brandybuck, Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, Boromir, and Gandalf — are tasked with destroying the One Ring in the same place it was forged: the fires of Mount Doom in Mordor.
The Silmarillion is the first Middle-earth work published after Tolkien’s death in 1973. The five-part collection of stories is described as a legendarium of Arda, the world in which Middle-earth exists. The vast collection of works was edited by Tolkien’s son, Christopher, and published in 1977.
The myths and stories within The Silmarillion cover the history of Arda from its creation through the Third Age (when The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings take place).

No writer in the English language has ever created a more complete world than John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Middle-earth, where his famous stories take place, was meant to be a version of our own world in a forgotten past.
Tolkien mapped out elaborate geographies and built richly detailed civilizations. Every work of fantasy that came later, from the Harry Potter novels and Star Wars movies to games like Dungeons and Dragons, owes a great debt to Tolkien’s astonishing imagination and pays homage to it.
Tolkien then spent 17 years crafting the trilogy, and it proved worth the wait. Spanning more than 1,100 pages over three volumes, The Lord of the Rings told a far more complicated story, dense with mythology and invented languages, and made for a dazzling read forever changed the cultural landscape..
In the decades since, The Lord of the Rings has served as a gateway for readers to discover the joys of adventure stories set in worlds far beyond their own. It has inspired authors to explore the furthest reaches of their imaginations and conjure countless stories that are equally beloved.
Even though his stories were conceived long ago and unfold in a landscape different from our own, the crises the characters face and the work’s underlying themes remain imminently relatable and relevant.
"All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not reached by the frost".
“We live in a complicated world with multiple, simultaneous crises unfolding, It is easy to feel not only stressed but also helpless and hopeless. . . Tolkien reminds us that the smallest and most humble can be heroes; there is a part everyone can play in fighting the darkness and making the world better. Most importantly, Tolkien acknowledges that even in the direst of times, we have reason to hope. Our need for consolation, inspiration, and hope is evergreen.
