About the Book
The final part of The History of The Lord of the Rings, an enthralling
account of the writing of the Book of the Century which contains many
additional scenes and includes the unpublished Epilogue in its entirety.
In the first section of Sauron Defeated Christopher Tolkien completes his
fascinating study of The Lord of the Rings. Beginning with Sam’s rescue
of Frodo from the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and giving a very different
account of the Scouring of the Shire, this section ends with versions of the hitherto unpublished Epilogue, in which, years after the departure
of Bilbo and Frodo from the Grey Havens, Sam attempts to answer his
children’s questions. The second section is an edition of The Notion
Club Papers. These mysterious papers, discovered in the early years of
the twenty-first century, report the discussions of an Oxford club in
the years 1986-7, in which after a number of topics, the centre of
interest turns to the legend of Atlantis, the strange communications
recevied by other members of the club from the past, and the violent
irruption of the legend into the North-west of Europe.
