Opis

In one volume for the first time, this revised and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came
to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of
the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume,
The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.
Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book
came to be written and published. As well as recording the numerous changes made to the story
both before and after publication, it examines - chapter-by-chapter - why those changes were made and
how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. The Hobbit was first published on
21 September 1937. Like its successor, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that "grew in the telling",
and many characters and story threads in the published text are completely different from what Tolkien
first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as part of their "fireside reads". As well as reproducing the
original version of one of literature's most famous stories, both on its own merits and as the foundation
for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished
maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive annotations and commentaries
on the date of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the
story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication
to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings.

Like Christopher Tolkien's The History of The Lord of the Rings before it, this is a thoughtful yet exhaustive
examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature. Long overdue for a classic book
now celebrating 75 years in print, this companion edition offers fascinating new insights for those
who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight those who are about to enter Bilbo's round door for the first time.
