They learn that Balin, one of the Dwarves who accompanied Bilbo in The Hobbit, and his colony of Dwarves were killed by Orcs. The Fellowship of the Ring is the first of three volumes of the epic novel [2] The Lord of the Rings by the English author J.
Because of the difficulty Bilbo has in giving the ring away, his friend the wizard Gandalf the Grey suspects that the ring is more than it appears.These include a sense of the depth of time behind unfolding events, [29] the power of the Ring, [30] and the inter-related questions of providence, free will, and predestination.

I - Many Meetings - After awakening from a sleep of four days, Frodo meets Gandalf and Bilbo again, as well as Glóin (one of the Dwarves from The Hobbit), Elrond, and others. There is no other fantasy author quite like Tolkien and here his world is brought to life in breathtaking detail. This book ends when Frodo and Sam depart secretly for Mordor and the Fellowship of the Ring |dissolves.
Frodo, broken by the quest, leaves a few years later, sailing from the Grey Havens over the Sea to find peace. Shippey comments that "Tolkien found it too easy, and too amusing, just to let the Hobbits chatter on. IX - The Great River - they notice Gollum following them down the river on a log; Orc archers attack the boats; a Nazgûl on its steed is seen flying above the Fellowship's boats, and is shot down by Legolas, who fires an arrow at the rider's flying beast; passing the Argonath, they reach the Falls of Rauros, where they must choose between traveling on the east or west bank of the river to pass the falls. Frodo and Sam, en route to Mordor, form an uneasy alliance with the wretched creature Gollum, who guides them to their destination while plotting to steal the ring. These Nine Walkers were chosen to represent all the free races of Middle-earth and as a balance to the Nine Riders.The Arts and Crafts polymath William Morris was a major influence, [T 9] and Tolkien undoubtedly made use of some real place-names, such as Bag End, the name of his aunt's home. As epic as The Lord of the Rings may feel, the series spans just a fraction of Middle-earth’s history. In this frame story, the Red Book is the purported source of Tolkien's other works relating to Middle-earth: The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. And his character accents are atrocious - from the Mummersett stereotypes of much of the Hobbitry to - above all - the truly cringeworthy faux-Scots accent he gives Pippin.
The Black Gate of Mordor is too well guarded, so they travel south through Ithilien to a secret pass that Gollum knows. The Orcs represented the worst of it as workers that have been tortured and brutalized by the war and industry. Frodo sets forth from Rivendell with eight companions: two Men, Aragorn and Boromir, son of the Steward of the land of Gondor; an Elven prince, Legolas; Frodo's old friend and powerful wizard, Gandalf; Gimli the Dwarf; and Frodo's original three hobbit companions. The prologue explains that the work is "largely concerned with hobbits", telling of their origins in a migration from the east, their habits such as smoking " pipe-weed", and how their homeland the Shire is organised. Tolkien's work, after an initially mixed reception by the literary establishment, has been the subject of extensive analysis of its themes, literary devices, and origins.Struggling to finish, the performance will be rated high by some, and don't get me wrong, performing and narrating a story is something I will never be able to do.
Homely Houses" are shown with house icons; dangers, with or without actual violence, with crossed-swords icons. In the third and final volume of the great tales, Tolkien sets his sights on Gondolin, a secret elven utopia betrayed and destroyed during the First Age. The Black Riders pursue Frodo, but when they enter the Ford of Bruinen, they are swept away by flood waters summoned by Elrond. Frodo resolves to set out alone for Mordor, reluctantly accepting Sam's steadfast refusal to stay behind. Their attempt to cross the Misty Mountains is foiled by heavy snow, so they are forced to take a path under the mountains via Moria, an ancient Dwarf kingdom, now full of Orcs and other evil creatures, where Gandalf falls into the abyss after battling a Balrog.
When the Fellowship leaves, she gives them boats to continue their journey down the river Anduin as well as more powerful gifts.
