The Return of the King

Book Three in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

De: J. R. R. Tolkien

Narrado por: Rob Inglis

The Return of the King is the towering climax to J. R. R. Tolkien’s trilogy that tells the saga of the hobbits of Middle-earth and the great War of the Rings. In this concluding volume, Frodo and Sam make a terrible journey to the heart of the Land of the Shadow in a final reckoning with the power of Sauron.

In addition to narrating the prose passages, Rob Inglis sings the trilogy’s songs and poems a capella, using melodies composed by Inglis and Claudia Howard, the Recorded Books studio director. This recording also contains Tolkien’s preface to the trilogy, including a prior history of the ring, and shire habitat, history, and folkways.

Change the cover artwork back

You can’t tell the difference at quick glance between the Andy Serkis one and Rob Inglis version just change it back on the old version

Audio glitches fixed

Glitches referenced in other reviews seem to be fully resolved, I had no issues with it. Tolkien’s skill in narrative, words, poetry, imagery can’t be matched. Also has a strong backbone of clear themes that really move and challenge you to be more noble. Sam’s friendship to Frodo—what a beautiful picture of true, loyal friendship! Faramir’s willing passing of power to Aragorn, what a picture of genuine humility! No lie, came to tears several times while listening on bus rides and commutes.

Idk what the other guys are talking about

I don’t even get audible chapters like the other guys, book is all out of order and nobody else’s solution works for me, i don’t see 40some chapters only the 1-10for each book. I’m pissed that this doesn’t work and has clearly been an issue for a long time. Guess I’ll start reading reviews before buying books I already know I like with a guy I know is a decent narrator just to see if Audible has screwed it up.

phenomenal!!!!

this series has been one of my favourites since middle school. The narrated did an absolutely fantastic Job, he was easy to listen to. the parts of the books that involved turning verse into song he did splendid and has a really good voice.

The Standard Bearer of Narration

My love for this story and it's characters is forged by Inglis' wonderful rendering. Each character is brought wonderfully to life by his rich vocal performance.
