  <description><![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;The official, fully authorized full-color guide to the characters, places, and landscapes of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as depicted in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.<br/><br/>Fully illustrated with almost 300 color photographs, including stunning new images from the extended director's versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and exclusive &quot;first-look&quot; shots from The Return of the King, this Complete Visual Companion now tells the whole tale of The Lord of the Rings in sumptuous detail.<br/><br/>The many characters, creatures, and strange lands of Middle-earth encountered by the Fellowship of the Ring in their epic journey are here brought to life: from the magical Elven realms of Rivendell and Lothlorien to the abandoned Dwarven kingdom of Moria; from the wizard Saruman's stronghold at Isengard to the land of the Horse-lords, Rohan; from their last-ditch fortress at Helm's Deep to Minas Tirith, the city-kingdom of the proud Men of Gondor; from the haunted Paths of the Dead to the battlefields of Pelennor and the overrun city of Osgiliath; from Cirith Ungol and the Nazgul's tower of sorcery at Minas Morgul into the very heart of Mordor. Along the way our heroes will encounter Elves and Ents, Uruk-hai and Orcs, Trolls, and Haradrim on their towering war-elephants, the mumakil. The Companion introduces readers to the monstrous Shelob the spider, to the Corsairs of Umbar, and to that pitiful but deadly creature Gollum.<br/><br/>This omnibus edition also includes brand-new sections appearing in print for the first time, which take the story of the quest of the Fellowship beyond Mount Doom, all the way to the hearbreaking finale at the Grey Havens.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[ In der Flut der VerÃ¶ffentlichungen zu Peter Jacksons Filmtrilogie <em>Der Herr der Ringe</em> sticht das offizielle Begleitbuch zum ersten Teil <em>Die GefÃ¤hrten</em> durch das beeindruckende Bildmaterial hervor. Versehen mit ganzseitigen PortrÃ¤tfotos von Pierre Vinet beschreibt die Autorin Jude Fisher die wichtigsten Hauptfiguren und ihre Eigenschaften. Die freien VÃ¶lker Mittelerdes werden detailliert und mit exklusiven Filmfotos vorgestellt: die Hobbits, die Menschen, die Elben und die Zwerge. Auch den Istari, den weisen Zauberern, sowie den dunklen MÃ¤chten, den Orks und Ringgeistern, sind eigene Kapitel gewidmet.<p>  Zweiseitige Panormabilder der atemberaubenden Landschaften Mittelerdes sowie Bilder der wichtigsten Handlungsorte geben Einblick in die fantastische Welt, die der Film zum Leben erweckt. Das Elbenreich LothlÃ³rien, Bruchtal, das untergegangene Zwergenreich Moria und Sarumans Festung Orthanc nehmen u.a. Gestalt an. Das Buch enthÃ¤lt zudem eine schÃ¶ne Faltkarte, die Ã¼ber alle zentralen Orte auf einen Blick informiert.<p>  Fishers begleitende Texte fÃ¼hren den Leser in die Welt Tolkiens ein und liefern die wichtigsten Informationen zu den Charakteren und Ereignissen, die im <em>Herrn der Ringe</em> eine Rolle spielen. Fisher erzÃ¤hlt die Geschichte des einen Rings und kann dabei auf ausgesuchtes Bildmaterial aus dem Film zurÃ¼ckgreifen. So kann man das letzte Aufgebot der Elben und Menschen im Kampf gegen Sauron am Ende des Zweiten Zeitalters erleben und erfÃ¤hrt wie es zu den Ereignissen des Ringkrieges kam, der in <em>Die GefÃ¤hrten</em> seinen Anfang nimmt. Es ist anzumerken, dass sich das Begleitbuch, das hauptsÃ¤chlich von seinen hervorragenden Bildern lebt, ausschlieÃŸlich auf den Film bezieht. Dialoge und Details Ã¼ber die Handlung sind dem Film <em>Die GefÃ¤hrten</em> entnommen und weichen teilweise von Tolkiens Buch ab. <em>--Birgit Schwenger</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;The official, fully authorized full-color guide to the characters, places, and landscapes of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as depicted in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.<br/><br/>Fully illustrated with almost 300 color photographs, including stunning new images from the extended director's versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and exclusive &quot;first-look&quot; shots from The Return of the King, this Complete Visual Companion now tells the whole tale of The Lord of the Rings in sumptuous detail.<br/><br/>The many characters, creatures, and strange lands of Middle-earth encountered by the Fellowship of the Ring in their epic journey are here brought to life: from the magical Elven realms of Rivendell and Lothlorien to the abandoned Dwarven kingdom of Moria; from the wizard Saruman's stronghold at Isengard to the land of the Horse-lords, Rohan; from their last-ditch fortress at Helm's Deep to Minas Tirith, the city-kingdom of the proud Men of Gondor; from the haunted Paths of the Dead to the battlefields of Pelennor and the overrun city of Osgiliath; from Cirith Ungol and the Nazgul's tower of sorcery at Minas Morgul into the very heart of Mordor. Along the way our heroes will encounter Elves and Ents, Uruk-hai and Orcs, Trolls, and Haradrim on their towering war-elephants, the mumakil. The Companion introduces readers to the monstrous Shelob the spider, to the Corsairs of Umbar, and to that pitiful but deadly creature Gollum.<br/><br/>This omnibus edition also includes brand-new sections appearing in print for the first time, which take the story of the quest of the Fellowship beyond Mount Doom, all the way to the hearbreaking finale at the Grey Havens.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[ In der Flut der VerÃ¶ffentlichungen zu Peter Jacksons Filmtrilogie <em>Der Herr der Ringe</em> sticht das offizielle Begleitbuch zum ersten Teil <em>Die GefÃ¤hrten</em> durch das beeindruckende Bildmaterial hervor. Versehen mit ganzseitigen PortrÃ¤tfotos von Pierre Vinet beschreibt die Autorin Jude Fisher die wichtigsten Hauptfiguren und ihre Eigenschaften. Die freien VÃ¶lker Mittelerdes werden detailliert und mit exklusiven Filmfotos vorgestellt: die Hobbits, die Menschen, die Elben und die Zwerge. Auch den Istari, den weisen Zauberern, sowie den dunklen MÃ¤chten, den Orks und Ringgeistern, sind eigene Kapitel gewidmet.<p>  Zweiseitige Panormabilder der atemberaubenden Landschaften Mittelerdes sowie Bilder der wichtigsten Handlungsorte geben Einblick in die fantastische Welt, die der Film zum Leben erweckt. Das Elbenreich LothlÃ³rien, Bruchtal, das untergegangene Zwergenreich Moria und Sarumans Festung Orthanc nehmen u.a. Gestalt an. Das Buch enthÃ¤lt zudem eine schÃ¶ne Faltkarte, die Ã¼ber alle zentralen Orte auf einen Blick informiert.<p>  Fishers begleitende Texte fÃ¼hren den Leser in die Welt Tolkiens ein und liefern die wichtigsten Informationen zu den Charakteren und Ereignissen, die im <em>Herrn der Ringe</em> eine Rolle spielen. Fisher erzÃ¤hlt die Geschichte des einen Rings und kann dabei auf ausgesuchtes Bildmaterial aus dem Film zurÃ¼ckgreifen. So kann man das letzte Aufgebot der Elben und Menschen im Kampf gegen Sauron am Ende des Zweiten Zeitalters erleben und erfÃ¤hrt wie es zu den Ereignissen des Ringkrieges kam, der in <em>Die GefÃ¤hrten</em> seinen Anfang nimmt. Es ist anzumerken, dass sich das Begleitbuch, das hauptsÃ¤chlich von seinen hervorragenden Bildern lebt, ausschlieÃŸlich auf den Film bezieht. Dialoge und Details Ã¼ber die Handlung sind dem Film <em>Die GefÃ¤hrten</em> entnommen und weichen teilweise von Tolkiens Buch ab. <em>--Birgit Schwenger</em></p></p>]]>

Tolkien's Middle-earth as depicted in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.<br/><br/>Fully illustrated with almost 300 color photographs, including stunning new images from the extended director's versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and exclusive &quot;first-look&quot; shots from The Return of the King, this Complete Visual Companion now tells the whole tale of The Lord of the Rings in sumptuous detail.<br/><br/>The many characters, creatures, and strange lands of Middle-earth encountered by the Fellowship of the Ring in their epic journey are here brought to life: from the magical Elven realms of Rivendell and Lothlorien to the abandoned Dwarven kingdom of Moria; from the wizard Saruman's stronghold at Isengard to the land of the Horse-lords, Rohan; from their last-ditch fortress at Helm's Deep to Minas Tirith, the city-kingdom of the proud Men of Gondor; from the haunted Paths of the Dead to the battlefields of Pelennor and the overrun city of Osgiliath; from Cirith Ungol and the Nazgul's tower of sorcery at Minas Morgul into the very heart of Mordor. Along the way our heroes will encounter Elves and Ents, Uruk-hai and Orcs, Trolls, and Haradrim on their towering war-elephants, the mumakil. The Companion introduces readers to the monstrous Shelob the spider, to the Corsairs of Umbar, and to that pitiful but deadly creature Gollum.<br/><br/>This omnibus edition also includes brand-new sections appearing in print for the first time, which take the story of the quest of the Fellowship beyond Mount Doom, all the way to the hearbreaking finale at the Grey Havens.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;The official, fully authorized full-color guide to the characters, places, and landscapes of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as depicted in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.<br/><br/>Fully illustrated with almost 300 color photographs, including stunning new images from the extended director's versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and exclusive &quot;first-look&quot; shots from The Return of the King, this Complete Visual Companion now tells the whole tale of The Lord of the Rings in sumptuous detail.<br/><br/>The many characters, creatures, and strange lands of Middle-earth encountered by the Fellowship of the Ring in their epic journey are here brought to life: from the magical Elven realms of Rivendell and Lothlorien to the abandoned Dwarven kingdom of Moria; from the wizard Saruman's stronghold at Isengard to the land of the Horse-lords, Rohan; from their last-ditch fortress at Helm's Deep to Minas Tirith, the city-kingdom of the proud Men of Gondor; from the haunted Paths of the Dead to the battlefields of Pelennor and the overrun city of Osgiliath; from Cirith Ungol and the Nazgul's tower of sorcery at Minas Morgul into the very heart of Mordor. Along the way our heroes will encounter Elves and Ents, Uruk-hai and Orcs, Trolls, and Haradrim on their towering war-elephants, the mumakil. The Companion introduces readers to the monstrous Shelob the spider, to the Corsairs of Umbar, and to that pitiful but deadly creature Gollum.<br/><br/>This omnibus edition also includes brand-new sections appearing in print for the first time, which take the story of the quest of the Fellowship beyond Mount Doom, all the way to the hearbreaking finale at the Grey Havens.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
