Description
Inspired by The Hobbit, and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is the saga of the great War of the Rings. As he
crafted the alphabets, languages, and landscapes of Middle-earth, J.R.R. Tolkien created one of the most popular and
imaginative works in English literature.
The Two Towers is the second volume of The Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship has been forced to split up. Frodo
and Sam must continue alone towards Mount Doom, where the ring must be destroyed. Meanwhile, at Helm's Deep
and Isengard, the first great battles of the War of the Ring take shape.
In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien's great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe—hobbits,
elves, and wizards—step colorfully forth from the pages. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.
"Rob Inglis' reading is absolutely superb. His voice conveys astonishingly subtle shadings for each character and his
narration, grave and compelling, transports the most reluctant reader into the heart of each episode."—Library Journal
