Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings
by J.R.R. Tolkien ยท 1954
The hobbit Frodo Baggins inherits a ring of terrible power and must keep it from the Dark Lord who made it.
Tolkien's single novel, published in three volumes from 1954. The Fellowship of the Ring is the first. Written by a philologist who built the languages before the story, it remains the work most modern fantasy is measured against, and its concerns are less about victory than about endurance, loss, and what cannot be carried home.
