When asked about how many books have been published throughout history, no expert can give a definite answer for this question. True enough to say that to be included in the list of popular books is a priceless honor and of course a transitory blaze of glory to the authors. What more can we expect when by virtue of popularity a book is adapted on the wide screen? Here's a sneak of ten popular books which film makers set eyes on:
歷史上到底出版過多少本書籍，恐怕連專家也給不出一個準確的回答。不過，能夠被列入受歡迎的書單就已經是無價的榮耀了，而對于書的作者而言，也是瞬息的榮光。因而對于一本流行書而言，沒什么比改編成銀幕作品更讓人期待了，下面我們就來盤點一下那些年曾被搬上銀幕的十大暢銷書。
1. THE LORD OF THE RINGS (1954)
1.《魔戒》 (1954)
The Lord of the Rings, a three volume fantasy adventure epic authored by J.R.R. Tolkien has acquired what is in all truth a justified air of victory as it is the second best selling novel ever written with over 150 million copies sold. This highly praised novel is a cliff hanging trilogy, namely, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and the Return of the King. It elicits an indulgent escape from reality and takes the readers to the fictitious world of Middle Earth. Indulgently mindset to destroy the One Ring the weapon of evil, Frodo Baggins, the young hobbit vigilantly surpasses all the terrifying obstacles and dark forces. The One Ring is bound to be returned to Mordor, the only place where it can be destroyed; unfortunately this place is also the Dark Lords lair. The search is a never-ending maze as the One Ring has the mind power to transfer from one owner to another and the Dark Lords wrath continues to destroy the Middle-Earth. Not surprisingly, Frodos quest is a treacherous labyrinth which doesn't throw even a few crumbs of comfort.
《魔戒》，三卷奇幻史詩巨著，作者是享有盛譽的J.R.R. 托爾金（J.R.R. Tolkien），因為他的作品銷量已達一億五千萬本，位列世界暢銷書籍第二名。這部頗負盛名的小說有三卷，即《魔戒首部曲・護戒同盟》（ The Fellowship of the Ring），《魔戒二部曲・雙塔奇兵》（The Two Towers）和《魔戒三部曲・王者歸來》（Return of the King）。這部書的內容引人入勝，帶領讀者進入虛構的中土世界。為了毀滅邪惡的法器至尊魔戒（One Ring），年輕的霍比特人佛羅多·巴金斯（Frodo Baggins）沖破了層層阻礙和黑暗的力量。至尊魔戒必須被送到唯一可以毀滅它的地方——魔多（Mordor），但不幸的是，魔多是黑暗君王的領地。搜尋之路漫漫，似是永無盡頭，因為至尊魔戒有自己的意志，從一個人的手中流轉至下一個主人的手上。而黑暗君王的暴怒也讓中土世界不再安寧。毫無意外，主角佛羅多選擇的是一條毫無一絲安逸可言的艱苦之途。
