Summary of the Book
The best of times, the worst of times, the age of wisdom, the age of foolishness, the epoch of belief, the epoch of incredulity, the season of Light, the season of Darkness, the spring of hope, the winter of despair, having everything, yet nothing, leading to heaven, yet leading to the other way, the time of the French Revolution was all this and more. In this setting Dickens begins his most famous work, telling the story of the French peasantry demoralised by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution. Principally the story of Sidney Carton and Lucie Manette, this book follows them and the villainous Madame Defarge to tell a story of darkness, love, forgiveness, revenge and self-sacrifice.

“The Lord of the Rings” Summary Of The Book
The Lord of The Rings epic centers around the Dark Lord Sauron and the One Ring that he forged himself. Sauron forged a special ring for himself, the One Ring. This ring had the power to rule all the other rings and thus enabled Sauron to control all the other people of Middle-Earth. However, he was defeated by an army of Elves and Men, and his ring is taken by Isildur. Isildur is killed and the ring is lost
Two thousand years later, the Ring surfaces again. It is discovered by a stoor-hobbit called Deagol, and he is killed by his friend Smeagol who covets the Ring. Smeagol is banished by his people to the Misty Mountains. His life is extended by the Ring, but he becomes a twisted creature called Gollum.
From Gollum, the Ring falls into the hands of a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. At the beginning of the first book, Frodo Baggins, Bilbo’s nephew, inherits the ring. Neither Bilbo nor Frodo know the true nature of the Ring, but their friend Gandalf the Wizard suspects what it is. When it is confirmed that it is the One Ring, Gandalf advises Frodo to get rid of it, for it has a tendency to corrupt whoever possesses it.
Frodo, along with his friend Samwise Gamgee, and his cousins Merry and Pippin, set off to Mount Doom, a volcano where the Ring was forged. The One Ring can only be destroyed at the place where it was forged. Frodo volunteers to undertake the perilous journey to Mount Doom in Mordor. Frodo and his friends set off together on their quest, but on the way, circumstances lead to the Fellowship being broken.
Sam and Frodo are separated from the rest of the group. Pippin and Merry are kidnapped. Sam and Frodo continue on their trek to Mordor on their own. The others follow Merry and Pippin’s kidnappers.
The Lord Of The Rings is one of the most influential works of literature ever written. It continues to inspire works in the fields of arts and entertainment, several decades after it was written, and has a cult following. The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy has been adapted for the movies.

The Little Prince first published in April 1943, is a novella, the most famous work of French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
The novella is one of the most-translated books in the world and has been voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into 300 languages and dialects, selling nearly two million copies annually, and with year-to-date sales of over 140 million copies worldwide, it has become one of the best-selling books ever published.
After the outbreak of the Second World War, Saint-Exupéry escaped to North America. Despite personal upheavals and failing health, he produced almost half of the writings for which he would be remembered, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss, in the form of a young prince visiting Earth. An earlier memoir by the author had recounted his aviation experiences in the Sahara Desert, and he is thought to have drawn on those same experiences in The Little Prince.
Since its first publication, the novella has been adapted to numerous art forms and media, including audio recordings, radio plays, live stage, film, television, ballet, and opera.

Summary Of The Book
The Hobbit is a fantasy novel that begins with introducing the readers to Gandalf, who is successful in tricking Bilbo into having a party. This party is intended for Thorin, and his gang of dwarves. This merry group of beings then begins to sing of gaining victory over the famed Lonely Mountain, its treasure, which is currently in the control of a dragon named Smaug. As the music slowly starts to fade, we come to know of a mysterious map, possessed by Gandalf, which can help them gain access into the Lonely Mountain.
Gandalf then suggests that Bilbo be made to carry out this expedition, and after a while Bilbo is persuaded to do so. What follows is their encounter with trolls who seek to devour them.
