„Tento príbeh narastal pri rozprávaní, až sa stal dejinami Veľkej vojny o Prsteň a obsahuje mnoho pohľadov do ešte starodávnejších dejín, ktoré mu predchádzali“ – napísal v predslove k druhému vydaniu J. R. R. Tolkien o tejto vari najznámejšej knižnej trilógii minulého storočia. Čarovný svet elfov a hobitov je paralelným svetom „veľkých ľudí“. Jeho hlavnou témou je Prsteň ako ohnivko, ktoré ho púta k Hobitovi. Proti akýmkoľvek alegóriám sa autor bránil a všetky možné posolstvá a vnútorné významy spájané s jeho knihou sa mu zo srdca protivili. Preto je túto knihu potrebné chápať ako najobľúbenejšie dejiny pradávneho veku a nijako inak.
