The Fellowship of the Ring

Book One in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

De: J. R. R. Tolkien

Narrado por: Rob Inglis

Inspired by The Hobbit and begun in 1937, The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy that J.R.R. Tolkien created to provide "the necessary background of history for Elvish tongues". From these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in English literature.

The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume in the trilogy, tells of the fateful power of the One Ring. It begins a magnificent tale of adventure that will plunge the members of the Fellowship of the Ring into a perilous quest and set the stage for the ultimate clash between the powers of good and evil.

In this splendid, unabridged audio production of Tolkien's great work, all the inhabitants of a magical universe – hobbits, elves, and wizards – step colorfully into life. Rob Inglis' narration has been praised as a masterpiece of audio.

A PURE Classic!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Fellowship of the Ring to be better than the print version?

This is the best! Rob Ingles is excellent. His performance is as if JRR Tolkien was reading it himself.

What did you like best about this story?

Enjoyed the entire story and narration.

Have you listened to any of Rob Inglis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to The Hobbitt - also highly recommend,

Not enjoying the narrator

What did you love best about The Fellowship of the Ring?

I love this story for it's timelessness, and I love seeing how other stories across the decades have been inspired by it.

Would you be willing to try another one of Rob Inglis’s performances?

No. While I felt he was a good fit for the story, I still found him incredibly boring.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, much like the Fellowships journey, I wanted it to go on and just savor it.

The best Fellowship recording out there

I know that Audible has been waiting for this book a long time in the US and it is worth the wait! The narration is excellent - including the singing - and Rob Inglis does a great job differentiating each character without becoming comical.

If you love the series then this is the version to get especially since it syncs with Kindle.

The story than which there is no greater

Any additional comments?

This is by far the most exciting, most literate, most frightening, most elevating, most imaginative, most humane story ever written.If you have only seen the film, well, too bad. All that remains to be said is that Rob Inglis' narration is masterful.If you have only one credit, use it here.

Great experience

I listened to the audiobook while I read a print copy. I only planned to do this for the first couple of chapters to learn the pronunciation of some of the character and place names and to help me adjust to the pace of this very long book. But the narration was so good I ended up listening to the whole thing and I plan on listening to the next two audiobooks as well. The narrator acted the story out with all of the different characters and even sang the songs. Normally I would skim over the songs, but thanks to Inglis's performance they became one of my favorite parts of the book. This unabridged version reflects the text accurately, almost perfectly, with only a word here or there out of place but never in a way that alters the meaning of the text or creates any confusion.
