THE TWO TOWERS
BEING THE SECOND PART OF
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
BY
J.R.R. TOLKIEN
The Two Towers
is the second part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure The Lord of the Rings
, a beautifully written masterpiece which is among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. ‘For width of imagination’ said the novelist Richard Hughes, ‘it almost beggars parallel, and it is nearly as remarkable for its vividness and narrative skill which carries the reader on enthralled for page after page.’
C.S. Lewis wrote: ‘No imaginary world has been projected which is at once multifarious and so true to its own inner laws; none so seemingly objective, so disinfected from the taint of an author’s merely individual psychology; none so relevant to the actual human situation yet free from allegory. And what fine shading there is in the variations of style to meet the almost endless diversity of scenes and characters – comic, homely, epic, monstrous, or diabolic.’
‘It is timeless,’ said Naomi Mitchison, ‘and will go on and on.’
This is the second part of a three-book paperback edition which reproduces the complete authoritative text of The Lord of the Rings
, together with the original maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien. The Appendices and a fully revised and expanded Index are included in The Return of the King
.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky
,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone
,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die
,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them
,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
.

There was held the great Council of Elrond, at which it was decided to attempt the destruction of the Ring, and Frodo was appointed the Ring-bearer. The Companions of the Ring were then chosen, who were to aid him in his quest: to come if he could ............
