The Lord of the rings by

103 editions published between 2001 and 2013 in 3 languages and held by 6,288 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-Earth still it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-Earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom

Paris im Jahr 1934: Die Sängerin Victoria ist seit langem ohne Engagement. Das Zimmer wird ihr gekündigt, seit Tagen hat sie nichts mehr gegessen. Bei einer aus der Not geborenen Zechprellerei lernt sie den ebenfalls stellungslosen alternden Homosexuellen Toddy, einen ehemaligen Vaudeville-Star, kennen. Der phantasievolle und einfallsreiche Toddy überredet sie zu einer tollkühnen Aktion: Victoria soll sich als Victor, Frauendarsteller aus Rußland, ausgeben. In der Künstleragentur erregt das Paar tatsächlich größtes Aufsehen, und schon bald ist das erste Engagement unter Dach und Fach. Victor/Victorias erster Auftritt in einer noblen Transvestitenshow wird zum Sensationserfolg. Ganz Paris liegt ihr/ihm zu Füßen. Manager Toddy und sein Star residieren im Ritz, Taxis, Champagner und Kaviar werden Gewohnheit. Eines Abends findet sich auch der amerikanische Nightclub-Tycoon aus Chicago, King Marchan, mit seiner hochblonden Geliebten Norma ein. Er ist fasziniert von der Frau, die er dort auf der Bühne sieht, deshalb verärgert und verunsichert, als sich die Dame als Victor entpuppt. Trotzdem zieht es King immer wieder in die Show, und bald kommt er auch hinter das Geheimnis. Für Victoria ist die Situation nicht minder strapazierend, denn sie hat sich längst in den maskulinen King verliebt. Die beiden beginnen eine heimliche Liebesaffäre, die King in ein schreckliches Zwielicht bringt.
