This book follows two stories as the companions of the ring-bearer were split into two. The first story follows the plight of Pippin, Merry, Gimli, Aragorn, and Legolas. The second story follows the story of Frodo and Sam. The book is very immersive as some parts of the story impacts others of the story without them knowing, only to be told as a story itself later. Loyalty and friendship are lessons of the tales which are surrounded by history and war. Following the story right after the Fellowship of the Ring, Aragorn tried but could not find the whereabouts of Frodo. Boromir sounded his horn, which Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas went to. Boromir was found dead with orcs all around and no sign of Pippin and Merry. After holding Boromir’s funeral by boat, Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas decided to go after Pippin and Merry as they were definitive danger as they accepted that Frodo and Sam had left of their own accord on the quest to destroy the ring. What follows are many chance meeting and renewed allies. Pippin and Merry aided the Ents, tree herders in their decision to go to war. The riders of Rohan and their king were aided by Pippin, Merry, Legolas and Gandalf against the orcs. Contemporaneously as many battles were held at Helm’s deep and Isengard, the ring-bearer Frodo and Sam were able to sneak their way closer to their destination, Mordor. Lost as Frodo and Sam were, they found a guide in the disguise of Gollum. Gollum led through many dangerous places which Frodo and Sam would not have escaped on their own accord. Along their journey, they found and unexpected ally in Faramir, Boromir’s younger brother. Faramir aided the hobbits and warned them of the passage which Gollum wishes to take the hobbits to. The passage is rarely used or known and holds a guardian. Gollum leads the hobbits to the passage without telling the hobbits of the guardian, as he will wants the One Ring. In the events that follow, Sam is forced to make a dire choice.
That 'The Lord of the Rings' should appeal to readers of the most austere tastes suggests that they too now long for the old, forthright, virile kind of narrative... the author has had intimate access to an epic tradition stretching back and back and disappearing in the mists of Germanic history, so that his story has a kind of echoing depth behind it...

The Two Towers is the second part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings. Frodo and the companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord, Sauron, by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard Gandalf in a battle with an evil spirit int he Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin---alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

De JM Valentin : " lire, relire, rerelire le seigneur es anneaux, c'est un livre qui pose la question de peut-on survivre au désenchantement du monde c'est à dire au règne de la machine. Et cette question est posée avec beaucoup de profondeur et de poésie dans une langue extraordinaire)
Jean-Michel Valantin est docteur en études stratégiques et sociologie de la défense, spécialiste de la stratégie américaine, et chercheur au Centre interdisciplinaire de recherches sur la paix et d'études stratégiques. Il est également essayiste et a publié récemment plusieurs livres qui traitent des liens entre la géopolitique et les crises écologiques, climatiques et énergétiques qui se développent.
Les changements géophysiques et la crise biologique planétaires en cours sont autant de facteurs de bouleversements géopolitiques rapides, massifs et brutaux. Un nouveau paysage géopolitique et stratégique émerge, marqué par la combinaison du changement climatique et de ses effets systémiques, comme les migrations de masse, la compétition mondiale pour les ressources et la crise des régimes contemporains.
Dans cet épisode j’interroge Jean-Michel sur sa vision des grands enjeux alors que le phénomène climatique El Nino nous fait expérimenter à quoi ressemble une planète dont la température moyenne dépasse de 1,5 degrés celle de l'ère pré-industrielle.
On parle du jeu des nations et des règles de la géopolitique, du nouvel ordre mondial qui se met en place, du pivot en cours au moyen orient, des stratégies de la Chine pour sécuriser les approvisionnement pour l’avenir, de la place de USA et de l’Europe dans cette bataille pour les ressources, de la nouvelle donne climatique et écologique, de l’anticipation par la Chine de ces nouveaux risques, de la crise de l’eau qui se profile aux USA et dans le Sud de l’Europe, et de la nécessaire anticipation des nations.
