In the early 2000s, Peter Jackson accomplished the impossible and successfully adapted Tolkien's books into cinematic form. Split into three volumes and published over the course of a year, Frodo's journey to Mordor feels timeless. Inaugurated with a short fantasy novel called The Hobbit, J.R.R Tolkien created literary gold with 1954's The Lord of the Rings. It would not be an exaggeration to say that people have been entranced by the world of Middle-earth since the mid-1930s.
