The final part of The Lord of the Rings sees the end of Frodo's quest in Middle-earth. The Return of the King recounts Gandalf's desperate strategy against the Lord of the Rings, leading up to the final catastrophe and the resolution of the great war, in which Aragorn and his companions, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, and the Hobbits Merry and Pippin, distinguish themselves, while Gollum is called upon to play an unexpected role alongside Frodo and Sam in Mordor, the only place where Sauron's Ring can be destroyed. This new translation takes into account the latest version of the English text, Tolkien's instructions for translators, and the discoveries made possible by the posthumous publications edited by Christopher Tolkien.
