They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…

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."

很好的書,正版價格也劃算,滿意!讀書可以使自己的知識得到積纍,君子學以聚之。總之,愛好讀書是好事。讓我們都來讀書吧。 其實讀書有很多好處,就等有心人去慢慢發現. 最大的好處是可以讓你有屬於自己的本領靠自己生存。 讓你的生活過得更充實,學習到不同的東西。高爾基先生說過:“書籍是人類進步的階梯。”書還能帶給你許多重要的好處。 多讀書,可以讓你覺得有許多的寫作靈感。可以讓你在寫作文的方法上用的更好。在寫作的時候,我們往往可以運用一些書中的好詞好句和生活哲理。讓彆人覺得你更富有文采,美感。 多讀書,可以讓你全身都有禮節。俗話說:“第一印象最重要。”從你留給彆人的第一印象中,就可以讓彆人看齣你是什麼樣的人。所以多讀書可以讓人感覺你知書答禮,頗有風度。 多讀書,可以讓你多增加一些課外知識。培根先生說過:“知識就是力量。”不錯,多讀書,增長瞭課外知識,可以讓你感到渾身充滿瞭一股力量。這種力量可以激勵著你不斷地前進,不斷地成長

據說小說已經改編成同名電影瞭。說實話,我有點擔心。因為相比魔幻、懸疑的概念,我更願意把這本書定義於童話。童話的基調是快樂的,而且童話的寓意是希望。這本《霍比特人》原本是托爾金寫給孩子的爐邊故事,所以它應該是童話。而現代電影偏偏是利用瞭高科技的手法來追求魔幻和懸疑的視覺感受。這不是不好,隻是感覺它不應該屬於《霍比特人》。J.K.羅琳坦言自己的《哈利.波特》寫到最後依然不能超越托爾金,我想最重要的一個原因就是《哈利.波特》是魔幻小說而不是童話。
