内容简介
The definitive edition of this beloved children's classic, featuring a wealth of accompanying illustrations and notes which take the reader further into both the story, and the tale of how it was written. Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tale, The Hobbit. Since its first publication in 1937 it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world, and its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals: Alice, Pooh, Toad...As with all classics, repeated readings continue to bring new detail and perspectives to the reader's mind, and Tolkien's Middle-earth is a vast mine of treasures and knowledge, its roots delving deep into folklore, mythology and language. The Hobbit is, therefore, an ideal book for annotation: as well as offering a marvellous and entrancing story, it introduces the reader to the richly imagined world of Middle-earth, a world more fully and complexly realised in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Douglas Anderson's annotations make fascinating reading. Additionally, many of Tolkien's own illustrations embellish the text, and numerous illustrations from foreign editions exhibit an extraordinary range of visual interpretation. In an appendix there are details of the revisions made by Tolkien at various times to the publsihed text, which provide an uncommon and privileged glimpse into the special concerns of an exceptional and painstaking writer.
作者简介
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.
约翰·罗纳德·瑞尔·托尔金(J.R.R. Tolkien)(1892-1973),英国文豪,天才的语言学家,牛津大学默顿学院英国语言与文学教授,1919—1920年牛津英语词典(OED)的编委。他以瑰丽的想像和精深的语言,建立了一个英语世界的全新神话体系。托尔金的雄心壮志不在于写作一个传奇故事,或一部史诗。在他所创作的一系列中洲史诗中,影响最为深远的是《霍比特人》(The Hobbit: There and Back Again) 和《魔戒》(The Lord of the Rings)。这两部巨作被誉为当代奇幻作品的鼻祖,至今已畅销2.5亿余册,被翻译成60余种语言。美国每年销售的大约一亿本平装书中,就有四分之一可以追溯到托尔金的作品。《魔戒》被票选为“两千年以来最重要的书”。由托尔金小说改编的电影《指环王》、《霍比特人》掀起21世纪奇幻文艺的全面复兴,世界拜倒在他脚下。

"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." The hobbit-hole in question belongs to one Bilbo Baggins, an upstanding member of a "little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded dwarves." He is, like most of his kind, well off, well fed, and best pleased when sitting by his own fire with a pipe, a glass of good beer, and a meal to look forward to. Certainly this particular hobbit is the last person one would expect to see set off on a hazardous journey; indeed, when Gandalf the Grey stops by one morning, "looking for someone to share in an adventure," Baggins fervently wishes the wizard elsewhere. No such luck, however; soon 13 fortune-seeking dwarves have arrived on the hobbit's doorstep in search of a burglar, and before he can even grab his hat or an umbrella, Bilbo Baggins is swept out his door and into a dangerous adventure. The dwarves' goal is to return to their ancestral home in the Lonely Mountains and reclaim a stolen fortune from the dragon Smaug. Along the way, they and their reluctant companion meet giant spiders, hostile elves, ravening wolves--and, most perilous of all, a subterranean creature named Gollum from whom Bilbo wins a magical ring in a riddling contest. It is from this life-or-death game in the dark that J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork, The Lord of the Rings, would eventually spring. Though The Hobbit is lighter in tone than the trilogy that follows, it has, like Bilbo Baggins himself, unexpected iron at its core. Don't be fooled by its fairy-tale demeanor; this is very much a story for adults, though older children will enjoy it, too. By the time Bilbo returns to his comfortable hobbit-hole, he is a different person altogether, well primed for the bigger adventures to come--and so is the reader.

没有刷版的癖好,那么要收藏,这一本大约是最理想的。不必赘言印刷精美、纸质优良,只为详实的内容,也是一定要入的。正文之前,有关于托老生平及创作霍比特人过程的长文。文中注释详细,偏重学术溯源,考据癖弃疗者的福音。此外插图也颇丰富,收录了一些过往不同版本的《霍比特人》的图画,以及托老手绘(不过图片相对较小,若是喜欢插画,还是建议入手The Art of the Hobbit)。正文之后,还有附有《孤山任务》一文,似乎是较《未完成的传说》中所收更完善的版本。

另一项与托尔金身为哲学家的专业成就并驾齐驱,有时甚至超越它而使得他的学术产出相形渺小的,就是其对人造语言创作的热爱。其中发展得最成熟的就是昆雅和辛达林,此两种人造语言的语源关系构成了大部份托尔金传说故事集系列的核心。对于托尔金来说,语言及文法,是攸关美感及谐音的重要元素,而昆雅更特别是以“语音美感”(phonaesthetic)的考量去设计;它的创造概念为“精灵拉丁语”,在语音上也是以拉丁语(Elvenlatin)为基础,并以芬兰语及希腊语为灵感来源。

阿尔达的语言 托尔金的学术生涯和他的文学创作两者和他所钟爱的语言和哲学是不可分割的。他在大学时代专攻古希腊哲学,并自1918年开始投入牛津英语辞典的编写工作,其中被认为曾研究W为首字的一些词汇,包括walrus“海象”此字的字源—一个他曾头痛许久的词汇。1920年,托尔金赴利兹担任英语高级讲师,并声称是因为他而使得语言学学生的数量由5位增加至20位。他曾教授古英语英雄诗体、英语历史、许多古英语及中古英语文本、古英语及中古英语哲学、日耳曼哲学介绍、哥德语、古冰岛语及中古威尔士语。1925年托尔金33岁那年,他成功申请到盎格鲁撒克逊的Rawlinson及Bosworth教授职缺,并以其在利兹的日耳曼哲学的学生曾组成一个“维京俱乐部”(VikingClub)为傲—在俱乐部里,大学生可以自由地阅读古斯堪的纳维亚的冒险故事及喝啤酒。
