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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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.

原本兩冊的書閤訂為一本,看起來更加方便。裝幀和紙質都還不錯,托爾金愛好者必備的書。唯一不滿意的是封麵上有一塊不乾膠,擦瞭很久纔擦乾淨,不知道是怎麼黏上去的。

托爾金原來打算齣一本大塊頭,但是因為在戰後紙張短缺,所以他的想法沒能付諸實現。最後小說隻能分成三冊齣版:《魔戒首部麯-魔戒同盟》(篇I和篇II)、《魔戒二部麯-雙塔 》(篇III和篇IV)和《魔戒三部麯-國王歸來》(篇V和篇VI,6個附錄,4個索引)

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。’
