Un gran clásico moderno y el preludio a las vastas y poderosas mitologías de El Señor de Los Anillos.. Cuando alrededor de 1930, J. R. R. Tolkien comenzó a escribir El hobbit, hacía ya diez años que trabajaba en el vasto panorama mitológico de El Libro de los Relatos, que más tarde se llamaría El Silmarillion. Así como esas crónicas tempranas narraban los mitos inmemoriales de la Primera y Segunda Edad, Tolkien pronto advirtió que El hobbit iba ordenándose de algún modo como un relato de la Tercera Edad (Gandalf habla del Nigromante en las primeras páginas), aunque las inesperadas aventuras de un pacífico hombre del campo no parecieran tener mucha relación con las vastas y oscuras mitologías de la Tierra Media. El estilo directo y lineal, con alusiones (que el autor deploró más tarde) a un público infantil, no impide la poderosa irrupción -- unas pocas veces en términos de comedia -- de los grandes temas tolkienianos (el poder, la codicia, la guerra, la muerte) que reaparecerían en una dimensión a menudo obviamente épica en El Señor de los Anillos.

Work Description

The Hobbit is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar.

Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves, and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo.

Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children’s fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when published.
