Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. "Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, "The Hobbit" met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001). Unforgettable The remarkable prelude to "The Lord of the Rings"—newly rejacketed for young readers with art by the author. This edition includes a teaser chapter from "The Fellowship of the Ring." Illustrations. (Available now) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: Sehr gut. Bearbeitete Neuausgabe. 38. Auflage. 477 (3) Seiten mit Zeichnungen und Umschlagbild von Klaus Ensikat. 18,6 cm. Mit einer Karte von Juliane Hehn-Kynast. Umschlaggestaltung: Celestino Piatti. Sehr guter Zustand. Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebr�unt. Im friedlichen Auenland verbringt der Hobbit Bilbo Beutlin sein wenig abenteuerliches Leben. Bis eines Tages 13 Zwerge und der legend�re Zauberer Gandalf uneingeladen zum Tee kommen -- von da an sind die geruhsamen Tage des beh�bigen kleinen Hobbits vorbei. Ohne Hut und ohne Fr�hst�ck bricht er mit den Zwergen auf, um in einem fernen Land einen verlorenen Schatz wiederzugewinnen. Doch vorher begegnen sie Elben, Trollen, Orks und Riesenspinnen, durchwandern das Nebelgebirge und den Nachtwald, bis sie schlie�lich zum Einsamen Berg gelangen, wo der Drache Smaug den Schatz der Zwerge bewacht. Der kleine Hobbit ist ein Buch f�r Kinder ab 10 Jahren, die abenteuerliche Reisebeschreibung eines kleinen Wesens durch eine fremde Welt voller Phantasiegestalten. Aber gleichzeitig ist es auch der Grundstein und Auftakt des einflu�reichsten Werkes der Fantasy-Literatur: Der Herr der Ringe. Der englische Sprachwissenschaftler Tolkien, der in seiner Gesellschaft die Verwurzelung in Mythen vermi�te, hatte bereits vor dem kleinen Hobbit mit der Erschaffung einer v�llig autonomen Phantasiewelt begonnen, die nicht nur eine eigene Sch�pfungsgeschichte, sondern auch eine �ber viele Zeitalter w�hrende Historie aufweist, mitsamt ihren V�lkern, eigenen Sprachen und einer eigenen Geographie. In dieser Welt spielt die Geschichte von Bilbo Beutlin, und auch wenn vieles noch nicht so deutlich ausgemalt ist wie sp�ter im Herr der Ringe, so sp�rt man doch, da� diese Welt existiert -- irgendwo, irgendwann. Die kleine Geschichte ist Teil von weitaus gr��eren Ereignissen -- was in Der kleine Hobbit passiert, ist erst der Anfang. So trifft z.B. Bilbo Beutlin tief unter den Bergen auf ein einsames, ausgezehrtes Gesch�pf namens Gollum, das einen Ring besitzt, der unsichtbar macht. Dieser Ring wird vom arglosen Bilbo gefunden und mitgenommen -- und er ist es, der dem sp�teren Werk seinen Namen verleiht. Ob man den kleinen Hobbit als Kind liest oder als Erwachsener -- auf jeden Fall ist es eine spannende, liebenswerte Geschichte, spr�hend vor Phantasie. Eine Geschichte, die Sehnsucht erweckt nach mehr Geschichten von fremden L�ndern, Abenteuern, Zauberringen und nach einem Wiedersehen mit jenem Wesen, dessen Erschaffung vielleicht Tolkiens gr��tes Verdienst ist: dem Hobbit. --Birgit Will. - �Die (Vor-)Geschichte zum Fantasy-Helden-Epos Der Herr der Ringe . Absolut zu empfehlen und auch f�r Nicht-Fantasy-Fans sind die Abenteuer Bilbo Beutlins in Mittelerde ein Muss!� Berliner Morgenpost. � Der kleine Hobbit ist n�mlich eigentlich das Vorg�ngerbuch zum Herrn der Ringe und das Richtige f�r alle, denen die Romanvorlage zum Film zu dick oder zu heroisch ist. Die Geschichte �ber Bilbo, die Zwergencrew und den b�sen Drachen Smaug gibt s nicht als Film, ist mit mehr Witz und Leichtigkeit und eigentlich recht m�rchenhaft geschrieben. Zauberer Gandalf, Elbenk�nig Elrond und viele, viele Orks inklusive!� Ultimo. - Der kleine Hobbit (englischer Originaltitel: The Hobbit or There and Back Again), 1957 ins Deutsche �bersetzt von Walter Scherf, in der neuen �bersetzung von Wolfgang Krege genauer mit Der Hobbit oder Hin und zur�ck betitelt, ist ein Roman von J. R. R. Tolkien. Er erschien erstmals am 21. September 1937 im Verlag George Allen & Unwin und wurde sp�ter durch den Herrn der Ringe weitergef�hrt. Den Hintergrund f�r diese beiden phantastischen Werke bildet die von Tolkien erdachte Mythologie (siehe Tolkiens Welt). Der kleine Hobbit ist von Stil und Absicht her ein Kinderbuch und war urspr�nglich als Geschichte f�r Tolkiens Kinder konzipiert. Nach der Ver�ffentlichung des Herrn der Ringe nahm Tolkien am Hobbit �nderungen vor, vornehmlich um diesem einen erwachseneren" Anstrich zu geben und sachliche Widerspr�che zu den anderen Werken aufzul�sen. . Einfl�sse [Bearbeiten]Die Namen der Zwerge und Gandalfs sind einer Stelle in der altnordischen V�lusp� entnommen, dem sogenannten Dvergatal, in dem eine Reihe von Zwergennamen aufgelistet werden. Einzelne Handlungs-Elemente (zum Beispiel der Dieb, der einen Becher aus einem Drachenhort stiehlt) stammen aus dem angels�chsischen Epos Beowulf. Der kleine Hobbit entstand vermutlich etwa zeitgleich mit der Niederschrift der Erz�hlung Roverandom. Insbesondere in Tolkiens Zeichnungen zu den beiden Werken finden sich teils frappierende �bereinstimmungen. .

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This deluxe hardcover edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy contains a short introduction by Christopher Tolkien, a reset text incorporating the most up-to-date corrections, and all of Tolkien's own drawings and full-color illustrations, including the rare "Mirkwood" piece. J.R.R. Tolkien's own description for the original edition: "If you care for journeys there and back, out of the comfortable Western world, over the edge of the Wild, and home again, and can take an interest in a humble hero (blessed with a little wisdom and a little courage and considerable good luck), here is a record of such a journey and such a traveler. The period is the ancient time between the age of Faerie and the dominion of men, when the famous forest of Mirkwood was still standing, and the mountains were full of danger. In following the path of this humble adventurer, you will learn by the way (as he did) if you do not already know all about these things much about trolls, goblins, dwarves, and elves, and get some glimpses into the history and politics of a neglected but important period. For Mr. Bilbo Baggins visited various notable persons; conversed with the dragon, Smaug the Magnificent; and was present, rather unwillingly, at the Battle of the Five Armies. This is all the more remarkable, since he was a hobbit. Hobbits have hitherto been passed over in history and legend, perhaps because they as a rule preferred comfort to excitement. But this account, based on his personal memoirs, of the one exciting year in the otherwise quiet life of Mr. Baggins will give you a fair idea of the estimable people now (it is said) becoming rather rare. They do not like noise." A new edition of The Hobbit with a short introduction by Christopher Tolkien, a reset text incorporating the most up-to-date corrections, and all of Tolkien’s own drawings and color illustrations, including the rare “Mirkwood” piece. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
