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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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

读了这本书之后,我发现作者在做班主任工作的时候也有很多的无奈,她曾经这样说过:“‘只有不会教的老师,没有教不好的学生’——在我看来,这句话和‘人有多大胆,地有多大产’是一路的。如果是教师之外的人这样说的,那他就是在恶意地欺负人,把教师往绝路上逼;如果教师自己这样说,那他不是幼稚就是自大狂,迟早要碰个头破血流。我曾经属于后一类。那时,我处于极度危险的境地。”看薛老师这些话,你能觉得这是一个真实的老师,她说的话就象是邻居唠家常那样真诚自然。对于书中她大胆、直率的言辞,我很钦佩,不是每个人都有这种胆识、思维的。她能把一件看似简单惯常的事情剖析提头头是道,透过了表象看到了它的内在根源。她有勇气把一些不同与大家都说的话写在纸上,让别人看,虽然多数人心理或许也如她所想。但凭这一点儿,就让人佩服至极。比如,她对“老师象蜡烛、春蚕”,“没有教不好的学生,只有教不好的老师”这些话的评析,一针见血,道出了我们老师的共同心声。之所以造就了她感说真话,敢于抵制一切不利于学生成长和进步的制度。因为薛老师的人生信念就是:缺乏真诚、理性和趣味的日子是不值得过的。教育教学中有了平衡愉悦的心态,正确的定位和良好的策略,才能在饱满热情中,在正确策略中扶植学生向上。 薛老师在自序中写道,“我是特意捕捉了清风、乐声和野芳,录在这里,专门用于鼓励自己,就算是不定期地给自己献一小朵小花吧——真诚美丽的文字,正是心灵开出的花朵。”又一次阐述了她的人生信念——-真诚。读了全书,给我最深刻的感受也是她的真诚,我看到了一个真实的人,一个真诚的老师。当学生的时候,老师是权威,跟老师的交往总是处于向上看的状态,学生是一定要小心翼翼的,多数情况还是听老师说的多,自己发表意见少。现在当了家长,为了孩子跟老师也没少打交道,但是一直觉得自己好多真实的想法不敢说,老师呢,说出来的也有一些让人觉得是官话套话。看了这本书,我想我们也许都错了,老师跟学生、老师跟家长,平等地真诚的交流其实并不难。工作是艰辛——往往也是孤独的。可是,于飞尘的间隙也有清风,于喧嚷的中间也有乐声,于荆棘的丛中也有野芳。我是特意捕捉了清风、乐声和野芳,录在这里,专门用于鼓励自己,就算是不定期地给自己献一朵小花吧——真诚美丽的文字,正是心灵开出的花朵。也有沉重和迷惘。但我的文字,往往略掉了疲惫、沮丧和困苦——无涉乎诚实、全面与否,这是我的选择——有意的,我将目光投在了值得的地方,心得体会

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。
