The Lord of the Rings is a fantastical epic that, already in the mid-1970s, entered the list of the most read and published books in the world, and in time generated a real Tolkien-inspired cult that began in America in the 1960s. Its author, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, created a mind-blowing world—Middle-earth—a land ruled by a council of wizards, where in the silver forests elves sing, where in the deepest caves dwarves mine precious mithril, and where the unselfishness of good wizards is constantly tested. Here, a battle between Light and Darkness ignites—whose outcome, by providence, depends on the smallest inhabitants: the Hobbits.
“The Guardians” is the first part of the trilogy, in which Hobbits fight and win. They want to live in a free, peaceful, kind world where birds sing and danger doesn’t stalk them. But this world must still be defended under the toughest conditions.
