內容簡介
In one volume for the first time, this revised and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. As well as recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, it examines -- chapter-by-chapter -- why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937. Like its successor, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that "grew in the telling", and many characters and story threads in the published text are completely different from what Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as part of their "fireside reads". As well as reproducing the original version of one of literature's most famous stories, both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive annotations and commentaries on the date of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. Like Christopher Tolkien's The History of The Lord of the Rings before it, this is a thoughtful yet exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature. Long overdue for a classic book now celebrating 75 years in print, this companion edition offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight those who are about to enter Bilbo's round door for the first time.

坦白說這是我近幾年來花最多時間去讀的一本書,兩天兩萬不吃不睡,50個小時時間一氣嗬成看完--迴腸蕩氣、滿腹沉重、欲罷不能。知道自己纔疏學淺,為這樣的書寫評價不免有些班門弄斧的嫌疑,但是不寫實在是對不住我兩個個晚通宵讀瞭這樣一本好書,好在筆記隻是自己的筆記而已。喜歡這本書的,看過瞭就過瞭,沒有讀過且不敢興趣的,暫且就此止步就是。 我對所有事情都有興趣,所以我經常上當,在一個冷漠的社會裏,你的熱情在他們眼睛裏就是不成熟。他們為麵子活,你為興趣活,你覺得你這樣很開心,他們覺得你很無聊;你覺得你很真誠,他們覺得你在標榜自己。所以,我現在即使有興趣也會裝做“平常心”的樣子,隻是為瞭滿足大多數人的思維方式,因為隻有這樣,他們纔覺得我這個人比較可靠。激情永遠不能放在口頭上,放在口頭上就是悶騷——馬上就給你扣帽子。你必須一個巴掌上去,給人看到五根手指頭,他們纔覺得你和他們一樣。一樣瞭,接下去纔可以交流。不一樣就要培養,培養不齣,就是你領不清——人生除瞭物欲和強迫之外,幾乎一無所有。即便如此,還要相互誤讀、有時夾帶瞭各種自嘲與挖苦。難怪當我讀過這本書之後,竟會流淚。我的生命接下去的一切似乎隻剩下白描瞭。我不會縫殮衣,也不會做小金魚,更不會升天。殺掉三韆多人對我來說也隻是一個數字而已,我是多麼渴望生活呀,但生活卻連看也不看我一眼,我被禁錮在羊皮紙裏,因為我很孤獨;因為我很孤獨,所以我隻能去那個地方…… 天馬流星拳、廬山升龍霸、鑽石星塵拳,一個個熟悉的名稱,讓人聯想起那個上課在桌下偷偷看漫畫,體育課在操場操練的動作,好書,值得推薦!小時候愛看,但沒錢,也就一直沒能買齊。長大後賺錢瞭,所以就買瞭。不是當年小時候看的版本,不過有機會買到一整套迴味一下還是不錯的。 所感所悟一一精彩呈現,得此鴛鴦譜,閃著智慧幽默的光。鴛鴦譜,靠譜。非常贊!正品!物流超快!好評!。。。。。

托爾金認為語言及與之關聯的神話傳說是不可分割的,因此他終究對國際輔助語言持悲觀的態度:他在1930年一場演講“秘密的罪行”中對一群世界語的使用者說:‘你們的語言將産生一部神話’,然而在1956年他卻下一個結論:‘沃拉普剋語、世界語、伊多語及諾維亞語等等,諸如此類,均是枯萎死亡的語言,遠比現已不被使用的遠古語言死的還要透,因為他們的創作者從未創作任何世界語的傳奇故事。’
