Through his four main books - The Hobbit: or There and Back Again and the three-part The Lord of the Rings - Tolkien tells the story of how a re-emerging Sauron is defeated by a hobbit named Frodo Baggins and a band comprising men, elves, a dwarf and a wizard. However, by then, he had corrupted nine men who became his most feared lieutenants collectively known as the Nazgûl. Known as the One Ring, it has the power to rule over all others.Įventually, Sauron’s deception is exposed, and he and his forces of orcs are defeated. He persuades the elves to forge a number of powerful rings and gets one for himself. The differences between the more powerful forces - humans, elves and dwarves - are exploited by a malevolent entity named Sauron. In Tolkien’s universe, all beings find equal representation but do not trust each other completely. ![]()
