Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord of the Rings spin-ff THE RINGS OF POWER premieres in September, more than eight years after the original series. Here's how the series fits into Galadriel's discovery of evil outside Middle Earth The new beginning ★ The mythical magical artifacts known as the Rings of Power can be found throughout J. R. R. Tolkien's works about Middle-earth, most notably in his work of high fantasy titled The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien's children's book The Hobbit included the Ruling Ring for the first time as a plot device, magic ring. Tolkien eventually gave it a backstory and considerably greater power than it had originally possessed. He created nineteen more Great Rings that it could manage, all of which granted invisibility in addition to their other benefits. ★ These included the Three Rings of the Elves, Seven Rings for the Dwarves, and Nine Rings for Men. He added that in addition there was a great deal of less significant rings that possessed less significant powers. The addictive power of the One Ring, which was secretly crafted by the Dark Lord Sauron, is one of the most important aspects of the plot of "The Lord of the Rings," while the Nine Rings turn the people who wear them into Ringwraiths, which are Sauron's most dangerous followers. ★ The Germanic legend of the ring Andvaranaut, which was eventually used as inspiration for Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung, is one of the possible sources of inspiration for the Rings of Power. Other possible sources include fairy tales like Snow White, which also features a magic ring and seven dwarfs. One encounter which may have been crucial was Tolkien's professional work on a Latin inscription at the temple of Nodens; he was a god-hero tied to the Irish hero Nuada Airgetlám, whose epithet is "Silver-Hand", or in Elvish "Celebrimbor", the name of the Elven-smith who fashioned the Rings of Power. The ring that the inscription was written bore a curse, and the location was known as Dwarf's Hill. ★ Tolkien explores the ways in which various characters, ranging from the humble gardener Sam Gamgee to the powerful Elf ruler Galadriel, the proud warrior Boromir to the Ring-addicted monster Gollum, interact with the One Ring. The Rings of Power have been described as symbolizing the way that power conflicts with moral behavior. According to Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings is an investigation into "the practice of investing authority in external objects."

Download or read book The Parable of the Three Rings and the Idea of Religious Toleration in European Culture written by Iris Shagrir and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the premodern encounter between the three monotheistic religions through the unique prism of a premodern literary work—The Parable of the Three Rings—a poignant and charming tale of a father who had three sons and one precious ring. By tradition he was to bequeath the ring to his heir, but he loved his three sons equally — so he had two new rings made, crafted to be indistinguishable from the original, and on his deathbed gave a ring to each son. The narrator explains that the father is God, and his sons are the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims, each believing themselves to be the sole upholders of the true religion. A historical and literary study, the book offers a comprehensive discussion of the various guises of the Parable, from the early Middle Ages onwards, and highlights its capacity to reflect openness and pluralism in the interfaith encounter.
Download or read book Morgoth s Ring written by Christopher Tolkien and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Morgoth's Ring, the tenth volume of The History of Middle-earth and the first of two companion volumes, Christopher Tolkien describes and documents the legends of the Elder Days, as they were evolved and transformed by his father in the years before he completed The Lord of the Rings. The text of the Annals of Aman, the "Blessed Land" in the far West, is given in full. And in writings never before published, we can see the nature of the problems that J.R.R. Tolkien explored in his later years as new and radical ideas, portending upheaval in the heart of the mythology. At this time Tokien sought to redefine the old legends, and wrote of the nature and destiny of Elves, the idea of Elvish rebirth, the origins of the Orcs, and the Fall of Men. His meditation of mortality and immortality as represented in the lives of Men and Elves led to another major writing at this time, the "Debate of Finrod and Andreth," which is reproduced here in full. "Above all," Christopher Tolkien writes in his foreward, "the power and significance of Melkor-Morgoth...was enlarged to become the ground and source of the corruption of Arda." This book indeed is all about Morgoth. Incomparably greater than the power of Sauron, concentrated in the One Ring, Morgoth's power (Tolkien wrote) was dispersed into the very matter of Arda: "The whole of Middle-earth was Morgoth's Ring."
