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" of his universe).

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.

For [copyright](copyright.md) reasons detailed **plot** summary can't be posted here, thank copyright faggots. Yes, [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) does it and no, it can't be done under [free culture](free_culture.md), [fair use](fair_use.md) is not free culture and Wikipedia is a [joke](jokes.md). Very briefly: the story takes place in Middle Earth, a fantasy land, and is about a hobbit (a [race](race.md) of short people, distinct from dwarves) named Frodo who, with the help of many other characters (so called Fellowship of the Ring), carries an "evil" magical ring -- a thing potentially usable as a kind of superweapon -- to Mordor, the land where all evil dwells, to destroy it in Mount Doom, the only place where it can in fact be destroyed, and so prevent anyone from using this superweapon. In the story there is very much apparent a great high contrast between good and evil and highlights of various virtues and moral values, it is kind of an epic fairytale for adults.

{ Is it fkn good or not? Yes, it's great. I grew up when the movies were coming out and it was the hype of my generation, although at the time I felt it wasn't absolutely brilliant, and objectively it probably isn't (Tolkien wasn't a professional writer, he was just making it as a pet project "on the go"), in retrospect it is indeed an awesome story, very well told. Fucking go read it, or at least watch the movies FFS, but NEVER watch The Hobbit movie or the toxic lesbian shit after that, it's better to die than to see it. ~drummyfish }
