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.

‘One of the best loved characters in English fiction… a marvellous fantasy adventure.’

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。

插图,纸张,注解都挺好,可惜带annotated的都是自小。有什么事能像阅读一样做起来简单却成效显著呢? 读书给孩子听就像和孩子说话,同样基于以下的理由:树立孩子的信心,带来欢笑,拉近彼此的距离;告诉孩子信息或向孩子解释问题,引发孩子的好奇心,激励孩子。在朗读中,我们还可以: ·在孩子的脑海中,将阅读与愉悦联系在一起。 ·创造背景知识。 ·建立词汇基础。 ·树立一个阅读的典范。 让我们看看终身阅读者是如何培养出来的。许多教育界人士忽略了两项有关阅读的基本“人生事实”。少了这两个定律的相互作用,教育改革的成效将微乎其微。 阅读定律一:人类是喜欢享乐的。 阅读定律二:阅读是积累渐进的技能。 现在我们来研究定律一:人类是喜欢享乐的。对于能给自己带来快乐的事,人们会自愿地反复去做。我们去自己喜欢的餐厅,点自己喜欢的食物,听自己喜欢的音乐电台,探望自己喜欢的亲戚。反之,对于自己讨厌的食物、音乐及亲戚,我们则避之唯恐不及。这不仅是一条定律,更是一个心理上的事实。当我们的感官将电子与化学信息发送到大脑中的“有趣区”或“无趣区”时,人就会作出正面或负面的反应。 美国自然历史博物馆一位杰出的动物心理学家,将所有行为分成两种简单的反应:接近与回避。我们接近带来快乐的事,回避带来痛苦或不愉快的事。 愉快就像胶水一样,能粘住我们的注意力,但只朝喜欢的方向吸引。当欣赏一部电影时,我们就会沉浸其中;不再喜欢时,这种投入的情绪即告中断。这种情况几乎适用于所有我们愿意去做的事。每当我们给孩子朗读时,就会发送一个“愉悦”信息到孩子的脑中,甚至将之称为“广告”亦不为过,因为朗读让孩子把书本、印刷品与愉悦画上等号。然而,很多时候,“不愉快”却和“阅读”

这本是精装,还不错,只是字体还是小,在我看来,如果眼睛好就无所谓哈。当然了,貌似原版书的字体都是这么大,没办法。

托尔金著作的流行对语言的使用,尤其是在奇幻文学类,已经产生微小但深远的影响,甚至是dwarves“矮人(复数)”和elvish“精灵的;精灵语”这两个原本自19世纪中或甚至更早一点就已经不再被使用的拼法,也在托尔金的复兴下广为现今的字典所接受,分别取代19世纪后dwarfs及elfish的拼法。其他如他所创造的新词eucatastrophe(救赎的时刻,或直译:“善战胜恶”)也在与托尔金著作相关的文章中经常被使用。
