内容简介

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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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.

作者简介

John D. Rateliff moved to Wisconsin in 1981 in order to work with the Tolkien manuscripts at Marquette University. He has been active in Tolkien scholarship for many years, delivering papers on Tolkien and the Inklings. While at Marquette, he assisted in the collation of their holdings with those Christopher Tolkien was editing for his History of Middle-earth series. A professional editor, he lives in the Seattle area with his wife and three cats, only one of whom is named after a Tolkien character.

前言/序言

评分☆☆☆☆☆

托尔金原来打算出一本大块头，但是因为在战后纸张短缺，所以他的想法没能付诸实现。最后小说只能分成三册出版：《魔戒首部曲-魔戒同盟》（篇I和篇II）、《魔戒二部曲-双塔 》（篇III和篇IV）和《魔戒三部曲-国王归来》（篇V和篇VI，6个附录，4个索引）

评分☆☆☆☆☆

托尔金认为语言及与之关联的神话传说是不可分割的，因此他终究对国际辅助语言持悲观的态度：他在1930年一场演讲“秘密的罪行”中对一群世界语的使用者说：‘你们的语言将产生一部神话’，然而在1956年他却下一个结论：‘沃拉普克语、世界语、伊多语及诺维亚语等等，诸如此类，均是枯萎死亡的语言，远比现已不被使用的远古语言死的还要透，因为他们的创作者从未创作任何世界语的传奇故事。’

原本两册的书合订为一本，看起来更加方便。装帧和纸质都还不错，托尔金爱好者必备的书。唯一不满意的是封面上有一块不干胶，擦了很久才擦干净，不知道是怎么黏上去的。
