作者簡介
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) is the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic and extraordinary works of fiction as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. His books have been translated into more than fifty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
約翰·羅納德·瑞爾·托爾金(J.R.R. Tolkien)(1892-1973),英國文豪,天纔的語言學傢,牛津大學默頓學院英國語言與文學教授,1919—1920年牛津英語詞典(OED)的編委。他以瑰麗的想像和精深的語言,建立瞭一個英語世界的全新神話體係。托爾金的雄心壯誌不在於寫作一個傳奇故事,或一部史詩。在他所創作的一係列中洲史詩中,影響最為深遠的是《霍比特人》(The Hobbit: There and Back Again) 和《魔戒》(The Lord of the Rings)。這兩部巨作被譽為當代奇幻作品的鼻祖,至今已暢銷2.5億餘冊,被翻譯成60餘種語言。美國每年銷售的大約一億本平裝書中,就有四分之一可以追溯到托爾金的作品。《魔戒》被票選為“兩韆年以來最重要的書”。由托爾金小說改編的電影《指環王》、《霍比特人》掀起21世紀奇幻文藝的全麵復興,世界拜倒在他腳下。
精彩書評
‘One of the best loved characters in English fiction… a marvellous fantasy adventure.’
--Daily Mail‘Finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls… an exciting epic of travel, magical adventure, working up to a devastating climax.’
--The Observer 精彩書摘
From the Back Cover"Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance…"
Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag end by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar!
Written for J.R.R. Tolkein's own children, 'The Hobbit' met with instant critical acclaim when published in 1937. It has continued to be recognised as a classic, and won the Keith Baker Millennium Book Award, presented in 2000 by the Youth Libraries Group, School Library Association and Library Association Schools Library Group, for the most significant children's book published between 1920 and 1939.
"The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' and those who are going to read them."

書是越齣越好,任眾的這本書比芮東莉的書編輯和印刷的質量都有提高,我看完全書,除瞭一個可商榷的“心內”還是“內心”外,沒發現錯誤,這個非常不容易。這麼多動物名、植物名,這麼多畫與字的不規則排版,齣書的過程應該是很規範,不倉促。作者和編輯都夠認真。

物流很快。不過說真的,包裝隻有一個塑料袋有點害怕書會受損,還好這次沒有損壞。

而且書很美。畫得美是基礎,我特彆著迷於錶現昆蟲殼的光亮部分,有幾個瓢蟲的圖簡直跟實物一樣美!還有野貓的眼,如同一泓碧水,非常傳神。版麵設計很美。拿到手裏,不看字,隻看畫也很舒服。印刷很美。該齣彩的地方真齣彩,亮麗逼真。

不管怎樣說,看過書後,對我的觸動是比較大的。我覺得很多場景的描述是比較有衝擊力的,或許這一方麵在與作者的文筆,另外更重要的是裏麵很大一部分都是作者的親身經曆。但比較彆扭的是,作者每每在評論到漢族的農耕文化和濛古的草原文化是,有點偏頗瞭。漢族的農耕文化,固然存在著很多的缺點,如目光短淺,沒有大局觀等,但這些都隻是它的一個方麵,漢族文化最大的特點就在於它的中庸已經融閤性

就價格而言,作為一本英文原版書,這個價位的確很低瞭,書中還有很多極精美的插圖,紙張的話,就不要奢求太多,不是周年紀念版的,不過也還不錯啦,感覺書跟電影,當然是前三部很一緻,尤其是插圖,總給人一種似曾相識的感覺,所以不會很陌生,但是可能英式英語和美式還是有一定差彆的,所以有的地方不太能理解,當然也有可能是地道英語與我們所學的不地道産品的差異
