Der Herr der Ringe Buch 2

J.R.R. Tolkien

In this epic sequel, the story deepens as Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli mourn the loss of Boromir and begin a relentless pursuit to rescue Merry and Pippin. They encounter the noble Riders of Rohan and, under Gandalf's leadership, help resurrect King Théoden. Meanwhile, Merry and Pippin escape the brutal Uruk-hai and find refuge with Treebeard, the ancient Ent, who leads a march against Saruman, resulting in the destruction of Isengard. Frodo and Sam, guided by the traitorous Gollum, traverse the Dead Marshes and the lair of the monstrous Shelob, where Frodo is captured by Orcs. Believing Frodo dead, Sam bravely decides to continue the quest alone, only to realise he must make a daring rescue attempt. As the Fellowship faces growing dangers, the fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance, testing the limits of their courage and determination.
