Sinossi
"Se vi piacciono i viaggi fuori del confortevole e accogliente mondo occidentale, oltre il Confine delle Terre Selvagge, per poi tornare a casa, e pensate di poter provare un certo interesse per un umile eroe, ecco la storia di questo viaggio e di questo viaggiatore. Il periodo è il tempo antico fra l'Età Fatata e il dominio degli Uomini, quando la famosa foresta di Boscotetro esisteva ancora e le montagne erano piene di pericoli. Nel percorso verrete a imparare molte cose (come è capitato a lui) su Uomini Neri, Orchi, Nani ed Elfi e potrete dare uno sguardo alla storia e alla politica di un'epoca trascurata ma molto importante. Infatti, il signor Bilbo Baggins andò in visita a vari personaggi di rilievo; ebbe una conversazione con il drago Smaug; fu presente alla Battaglia dei Cinque Eserciti. Tutto ciò è tanto più singolare in quanto egli era uno Hobbit. Finora gli Hobbit sono stati trascurati nella storia e nella leggenda, forse perché - in genere - preferivano le comodità alle emozioni. Questo resoconto, fondato sui ricordi di un anno elettrizzante nella vita solitamente tranquilla del signor Baggins, vi darà un'idea abbastanza chiara di questo rispettabile popolo che adesso (a quanto si dice) sta diventando piuttosto raro. Non amano il rumore." (J.R.R. Tolkien)

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Books exist in time and place and our experience of them is affected by the specific time and place in which we encounter them. Sometimes an uplifting or inspiring book can change the path of a life that has wandered onto a wrong course. Sometimes a b
Some books are almost impossible to review. If a book is bad, how easily can we dwell on its flaws! But if the book is good, how do you give any recommendation that is equal the book? Unless you are an author of equal worth to the one whose work you review, what powers of prose and observation are y Leggi tutto
If you've ever wondered which literary world would be the best to live in, wonder no longer, cause there's a BookTube Video to answer that! The Written Review : In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Bilbo Baggins, living comfortably in his hobbit-hole in Bag End, finds himself
Gandalf Stormcrow. Bilbo Baggins is a Middle-Earth halfling merrily living his peaceful and uneventful days in the joyous lands of Hobbiton. As any well self-respected hobbit, Bilbo loves cooking his tasty meals, enjoy the blissful sun, and dutifully drink his midday tea; ever so good-natured and
There are some days when I actually think that the humble Hobbit is superior to it's bohemoth brother, The Lord of the Rings . It's a much tighter story, and Bilbo is a much more appeal character than is Frodo. I also just love this poem, from The Hobbit Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeon
What makes The Hobbit such a seminal work in the fantasy genre? Is it the nine hours of over-budget, sensorially explosive movies by Peter Jackson? Nope. Is it a complex tale of multiple human kingdoms slaughtering each other for an Iron Throne with buckets of blood and guts and plenty of sex? Nope. Leggi tutto
In certain crowds, my rating and the words I'm about to write (well, type) would probably get me shot. But The Hobbit is still one of the most boring books I have ever read. Tolkien's writing seems so dry and impersonal, though I can't deny he had a lot of fascinating ideas.
Reread 10/24/21 _________________ I probably won't write a full review here, as this is just a reread for me, but I found this just as enchanting as the first time I read it. While I still like this one only SLIGHTLY less than The Lord of the Rings , I'm glad I took the opportunity to read this first b Leggi tutto
Andy Serkis is doing a live reading of this RIGHT NOW for charity! To call this the epitome in which all high fantasy should be judged does not quite suffice; this is simply one of the best books that has ever been written or will ever be written. The Hobbit defines the high fantasy genre along wit
