There is but one solution to save the World from disaster: the Ring must be destroyed by the fire in which it was forged: Mount Doom in the heart of Mordor, the country of the evil Lord Sauron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the hobbit Frodo who is assigned to carry out this task, and to assist him a company, the Fellowship of the Ring, is formed under the leadership of Gandalf, the wizard, which includes the hobbits Sam, Peregrin and Merin, the Dwarf Gimli, the elf Legolas, Boromir and Aragorn, the later King. The companions are secretly followed by Gollum, who does not shun any means, however perfidious, to recover his priceless Ring. However, the companions soon fall apart, after many pernicious adventures and a surprising dénouement Frodo and Sam can at last return to their familiar home, the Shire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amstel Music","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":42821069373519,"sku":"AM200-010","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":42821072453711,"sku":"AM06","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/eb1dce7f51a0de8d7026ec05421f2c13.jpg?v=1752073234"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/collections\/bbu5iqkp7iz9ukio1zgr.png?v=1662554073","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/collections\/johan-de-meij.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
