This is simply the best book to learn abstract algebra from. It has really outstanding chapters on group, ring and field theory, but this is not all: linear algebra, commutative algebra and some graduate topics like representation theory, algebraic geometry and homological algebra are presented in a way that is very well suited for self study: lots of motivation, good examples and good exercises. This book is the unique reference for algebra in the qualifying exam syllabus of the math phd program at Harvard University: check their homepage. I think there is not much left to say!
