The_Lord_of_the_Rings

Epic trilogy by JRR Tolkien. The work consists of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. This remarkable work by the mid-1960s had become, especially in its appeal to young people, a sociocultural phenomenon.

There was an animated film made in the 1978 based on

the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which covered only the first part. The intended sequels never appeared.

A live action film is currently (1999) being produced in

New Zealand.

Where should pages on the Lord of the Rings universe go? Atlas Shrugged has worldly details on subpages, but here the history is also common to The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.
