* |
Tolkien did
not think of his story, The Lord of the Rings, as a trilogy. The
story was published in three separate volumes for various reasons.
Those three books are in order, FOTR, TTT, and ROTK. Tolkien broke
the entire story of LOTR into 6 books. Each published book of the
LOTR contains two of Tolkien's 'book's. So FOTR has Books 1 & 2; TTT
has Books 3 & 4; and ROTK has Books 5 & 6. You will see
evidence of these books in the attributions for quotes from the book:
FOTR, Book 2, Chapter VIII, Farewell to
Lórien
This means the quote is from the second book
which is contained within the
FOTR. |
