Description
The History of The Lord of the Rings concludes with Sauron Defeated, an account of the writing of the Book of the Century. This final part includes previously unpublished material, including the Epilogue in its entirety. Christopher Tolkien's study begins with Sam's rescue of Frodo from Cirith Ungol and offers a different version of the Scouring of the Shire. The second section of Sauron Defeated is an edition of The Notion Club Papers, a collection of mysterious papers discovered in the early years of the twenty-first century. These papers report on discussions by an Oxford club between 1986-7, including their fascination with the legend of Atlantis and strange communications from the past. The book also includes a study of the drowning of Anadûnê, providing new insights into this previously unexplored topic.
