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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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

由於是綫裝,書脊處外麵那層黑色的封麵部分,和綫裝部位是不粘連的,感覺時間久瞭書脊會裸露隻剩綫裝瞭。。。。其實很贊

托爾金著作的流行對語言的使用,尤其是在奇幻文學類,已經産生微小但深遠的影響,甚至是dwarves“矮人(復數)”和elvish“精靈的;精靈語”這兩個原本自19世紀中或甚至更早一點就已經不再被使用的拼法,也在托爾金的復興下廣為現今的字典所接受,分彆取代19世紀後dwarfs及elfish的拼法。其他如他所創造的新詞eucatastrophe(救贖的時刻,或直譯:“善戰勝惡”)也在與托爾金著作相關的文章中經常被使用。
