3I have read it, it fits pretty well with the details in the question.– DonFusiliCommented Jul 3, 2018 at 6:34

4The whole of Last Ringbearer is written from basically viewpoint of an Orc.– DVK-on-Ahch-ToCommented Jul 3, 2018 at 13:44

4Its a bit difficult to read the West led by Gandalf in The Last Ringbearer as the USA, because in TLR Gandalf wanted to preserve the traditional rustic feudal societies of Gondor, Rohan and the Shire against the industrialisation being pioneered in Mordor. Gandalf's vision in TLR is not the USA, rather it is a deconstruction of Tolkien's idealised English rural idyll.– Paul JohnsonCommented Jul 3, 2018 at 16:50

1I've read it. The original text, or the translation (or both), is just awful.– user23715Commented Jul 4, 2018 at 4:09

3The Last Ringbearer is wonderful, but it's not a comparison between the USSR and the USA, for the reasons @PaulJohnson explains. It's a conflict between a backwards theocracy backed by sorcery and a modern industrial & enlightened nation. (It was also written in 1999, which makes the USSR analogy even less likley). It's also a fantastic adventure!– Andres F.Commented Jul 4, 2018 at 14:53

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
