About the book: 2000 / Many people know and love J. R. R. Tolkien’s book “The Lord of the Rings.” But few people know that Professor Tolkien was going to write another book - about the return of the Shadow. For Galdor, the hero of the book, the Shadow is not an empty phrase, not a vague symbol. And the ancient tome, called the “Black Book”, which fell into his hands, becomes for him a sign and a turn in fate.
