Bilbo, comme tous les hobbits, est un petit être paisible. L'aventure tombe sur lui un beau jour, lorsque Gandalf le magicien et treize nains barbus l'entraînent dans une chasse au trésor périlleuse à la Montagne Solitaire gardée par le dragon Smaug. Il traversera les Monts Brumeux et la forêt elfique de Mirkwood, sera capturé par de puissants trolls et traîné par des orcs dans les entrailles de la terre;il sera contraint à un concours d'énigmes par le sinistre Gollum, englué dans la toile d'une araignée géante, et participera à une bataille légendaire. Bilbo échappera cependant à tous les dangers et reviendra chez lui, seul et incompris, mais riche et plus sage, en possession d'un mystérieux anneau. --back cover
I was a child
The Hobbit is the first of Tolkien's stories set in the Middle Earth... Actually this book needs no introduction as majority of people are probably aware of its existance and know how Tolkien pioneered the modern fantasy genre. However, it still holds strongly to this day. This epic story of a hobbit embarking on an unexpected journey with a team of dwarves and a wizard just really hooks you in and the world around is built with passion and full of surprises. I love it and now I understand why it's so praised by many.
I read it years ago (70's) and I spent many of hours reading the trilogy in high school when I should have been doing other things. I do not regret it though.
When I was a kid, it was hard to read, but interesting at the same time. I think, it's a good book to help children learn that patience reaps rewards. Of a cool story in this particular case.
I mean it’s a classic. How could you hate on it?
