Trilogia O Senhor Dos Anéis
Apesar de ter sido publicado em três volumes – A Sociedade do Anel, As Duas Torres e O Retorno do Rei – desde os anos 1950, O Senhor dos Anéis não é exatamente uma trilogia, mas um único grande romance que só pode ser compreendido em seu conjunto, segundo a concepção de seu autor, J. R. R. Tolkien. Com capa da série Anéis de Poder, do Prime Video, este kit reúne os três livros da saga do Anel e oferece aos leitores uma nova oportunidade de mergulhar no notável mundo da Terra-média.

About the author
J.R.R. Tolkien
797 books78k followersJohn Ronald Reuel Tolkien: writer, artist, scholar, linguist. Known to millions around the world as the author of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien spent most of his life teaching at the University of Oxford where he was a distinguished academic in the fields of Old and Middle English and Old Norse. His creativity, confined to his spare time, found its outlet in fantasy works, stories for children, poetry, illustration and invented languages and alphabets.
Tolkien’s most popular works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are set in Middle-earth, an imagined world with strangely familiar settings inhabited by ancient and extraordinary peoples. Through this secondary world Tolkien writes perceptively of universal human concerns – love and loss, courage and betrayal, humility and pride – giving his books a wide and enduring appeal.
Tolkien was an accomplished amateur artist who painted for pleasure and relaxation. He excelled at landscapes and often drew inspiration from his own stories. He illustrated many scenes from The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, sometimes drawing or painting as he was writing in order to visualize the imagined scene more clearly.
Tolkien was a professor at the Universities of Leeds and Oxford for almost forty years, teaching Old and Middle English, as well as Old Norse and Gothic. His illuminating lectures on works such as the Old English epic poem, Beowulf, illustrate his deep knowledge of ancient languages and at the same time provide new insights into peoples and legends from a remote past.
Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa, in 1892 to English parents. He came to England aged three and was brought up in and around Birmingham. He graduated from the University of Oxford in 1915 and saw active service in France during the First World War before being invalided home. After the war he pursued an academic career teaching Old and Middle English. Alongside his professional work, he invented his own languages and began to create what he called a mythology for England; it was this ‘legendarium’ that he would work on throughout his life. But his literary work did not start and end with Middle-earth, he also wrote poetry, children’s stories and fairy tales for adults. He died in 1973 and is buried in Oxford where he spent most of his adult life.

Foi aqui que minha paixão por livros de fantasia começou, e não é difícil entender o porquê.
O Senhor dos Anéis não é só uma história épica de aventura, mas um verdadeiro marco da literatura, com uma construção de mundo impecável e personagens que carregam um peso emocional enorme.
Tolkien criou uma narrativa densa, cheia de simbolismos, explorando temas como coragem, amizade, sacrifício e o impacto do poder sobre aqueles que o detêm.
Embora a escrita possa ser mais descritiva e detalhada do que o padrão moderno, é justamente isso que torna a terra-média tão viva e rica. Cada local parece real, cada idioma e cultura tem profundidade, e a jornada dos personagens não é apenas física, mas também emocional e espiritual.
Uma obra que não apenas conta uma história, mas transforma a forma como enxergamos narrativas épicas.
