In 1937, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien first took readers to Middle-earth with his children's book "The Hobbit." Seventeen years later, he created a cultural phenomenon with his "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the essence of which is more relevant than ever, setting new standards in literature and cinema. The fascination with the complex universe of elves, dwarves, men, hobbits, and their battle against orcs and the ultimate villain Sauron remains unbroken and continues to inspire people's imaginations. "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them." For "The Lord of the Rings: The Chronicle," CINEMA, Germany's most renowned film magazine, has opened its archives and presents exclusive reports from the filming of the six cinematic adventures across 224 pages, numerous interviews with stars and creators, spectacular images, and a wealth of background facts. The origin story of the prequel series "The Rings of Power" is also extensively explored. Travel with CINEMA to the fires of Mordor, the psychedelic tree maze of Mirkwood, and the green meadows of the Shire. Immerse yourself in a world where nothing seems impossible.
