# Lord of the Rings
Lord of the Rings (LOTR) is a an [epic](epic.md) fantasy book trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973), one of the greatest ever made, released in 1954, followed by very well made movies in 2001, 2002 and 2003; the books are legendary not just for having started the whole modern fantasy genre, but simply for their sheer gigantic volume of lore and detail, including additional books, detailed geography of the fantasy world, its [history](history.md), mythology and several [constructed languages](conlang.md), into which the author, a university professor, poured his whole life and heart. Unfortunately for their immense popularity the works have been seized and absolutely raped by [capitalism](capitalism.md), nowadays they have become a vehicle for propaganda -- it's incredibly sad but true; the rape began in 2012 by filming the Hobbit movies (a short children book was made into a whole trilogy of movies, for more moneis, furthermore extremely badly made), and continues today by yet much worse consumerist, absolutely disgusting McDonalds style crap stuffed with lesbians and [liberalism](liberalism.md) and shit. The original books are still [proprietary](proprietary.md), but their entering to [public domain](public_domain.md) is at least on the horizon -- unlike most modern fantasy works, Lord of the Rings should enter the public domain relatively "soon": in 2044. Besides the main LOTR trilogy Tolkien also wrote several related works, such as *The Hobbit* (the prequel, more of a children book, but still very good to read) and *The Silmarillion* (kind of "Bible", recounting history and mythology of the world, origin of the races etc.).

Before Tolkien's work fantasy books were very different, not as popular, usually just shorter fairytales and stories for children based off of real history or existing mythology and stories; Tolkien took it all much further by inventing his own "universe" to set his stories in, with very realistic, deep history (in the sense that reading Silmarillion for example you could really accept it's a mythology recorded by a REAL civilization, including blank spots, contradicting witness testimonies, exaggerated narration and so on), historical figures, battles, epic songs in languages of the fictional people and so on, and this is what every new fantasy basically copies ever since. Unfortunately for their immense popularity the works have been seized and absolutely raped by [capitalism](capitalism.md), nowadays they have become a vehicle for propaganda -- it's incredibly sad but true; the rape began in 2012 by filming the Hobbit movies (a short children book was made into a whole trilogy of movies, for more moneis, furthermore extremely badly made), and continues today by yet much worse consumerist, absolutely disgusting McDonalds style crap stuffed with lesbians and [liberalism](liberalism.md) and shit.

NOTE: **Anything post 2005 is NOT part of Lord of the Rings.** It's very important to note this because the franchise became one of the most raped milking cows of [capitalist](capitalism.md), [pseudoleft](pseudoleft.md), [SJWs](sjw.md) and other evil. Only look for pre-2005 stuff.
