Lord of the Flies
A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the imag
e of a terrifying beast. As the boys' delicate sense of order fades, so their childish dreams are transformed into something more primitive, and their behaviour starts to take on a murderous, savage significance. First published in 1954, "Lord of the
Flies" is one of the most celebrated and widely read of modern classics.
Hobbit
The classic bestseller behind this year's biggest movie, this definitive paperback edition features nine illustrations and two maps drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien, and a preface by Christopher Tolkien. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey 'there and back again'. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon! The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century.

Begin your journey into Middle-earth.
A New Legend Begins on Prime Video, in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

A Hobbit
Amikor kellemes, minden becsvágy nélküli életéből, meghitt föld alatti otthonából Gandalf, a mágus és egy csapat törp elragadja, Bilbó, a hobbit igazi kaland kellős közepébe csöppen: ,,betörési szakértőként" kell segédkeznie a kincs visszaszerzésében, amitől Smaug, a nagy és veszedelmes sárkány fosztotta meg egykor a Hegymély Királyát. Noha egy porcikája sem kívánja a kellemetlen megbízatást, Bilbó maga is lépten-nyomon meglepődik tulajdon ügyességén és leleményességén! A kalandok során már itt felbukkan a titokzatos varázserővel rendelkező gyűrű, amely Tolkien világában később is kiemelt szerepet fog játszani...
J. R. R. Tolkien saját gyermekeinek írta ezt a meseregényt, de 1937-es megjelenésekor azonnal óriási sikert aratott. Később megszületett a monumentális folytatás is, és azóta ,,a világ két részre oszlik: azokra, akik már olvasták A hobbitot és A Gyűrűk Urát, és azokra, akik ezután fogják elolvasni őket." (Sunday Times)

A hobbit
A hobbit A Gyűrűk Ura előzményeként született híres mű, amelyet a jelentős Tolkien-kutató szerző korszerűsített, bővített és jegyzetekkel látott el. A Szobotka Tibor fordításában, 1975-ben megjelent mű terminológiailag is megújított változata új részekkel, gazdagon illusztrálva jelenik meg, amely egyetlen Tolkien-rajongó és érdeklődő könyvtárából sem hiányozhat. J. R. R. Tolkien saját ismertetője A hobbit eredeti kiadásához: „Ha megmozgatják a fantáziádat az oda és vissza történő utazások, amelyek kivezetnek a kényelmes nyugati világból, a Vadon szegélyén túlra, és érdekel egy egyszerű (némi bölcsességgel, némi bátorsággal és jelentős szerencsével megáldott) hős, akkor ez a könyv tetszeni fog, mivel épp egy ilyen út és utazó leírása található benne. A történet a Tündérország kora és az emberek uralma közti réges-régi időkben játszódik, mikor még állott a híres Bakacsinerdő, és a hegyek veszéllyel voltak tele. Az egyszerű kalandozó útját követve útközben megtudhatsz (ahogy ő is megtudott) – ha még nem ismernéd mindezeket a dolgokat – egyet s mást a trollokról, koboldokról, törpökről és tündékről, s bepillantást nyerhetsz egy kevéssé ismert, de lényeges időszak történelmébe és eseményeibe. Mert Zsákos Bilbó úr számos jelentős személynél járt; beszélt a sárkánnyal, a Hatalmas Smauggal; és akaratán kívül jelen volt az Öt Sereg Csatájánál. Ez annál is inkább figyelemre méltó, mivel ő egy hobbit. A hobbitok fölött a történelem és a legendák mind ez idáig átsiklottak, talán mert rendszerint többre tartják a kényelmet, mint az izgalmakat. Ez a személyes visszaemlékezések alapján készült beszámoló, amely Zsákos úr egyébként csendes életének egy izgalmas évét írja le, azonban képet adhat erről a becses népről, akik (úgy mondják) manapság megfogyatkoztak. Mert nem szeretik a zajt.”
