Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey ‘there and back again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…

The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century. --back cover

Hobitoj, ade hobitos.

Mi decidis relegi la Hobiton post spekti la filmojn antaŭ kelkaj semajnoj. La filmoj ja estas tre malbonaj — tro longaj, kaj precipe faritaj por tiuj kiuj ĝuis la filmojn La Majstro de l' Ringoj sed neniam legis la librojn. Mi simple deziris alitipan filmon en la etoso de la libro.

Relegi ĝin en Esperanto antaŭ rememoris min pri kiom al mi mankis tiu lingvo. Jam pasis pli ol dek jaroj ekde mi lastatempe legis aŭ parolis ĝin. Komence legis mi malrapide, sed post nelonge sukcesis retrovi pli rapidan legoritmon.

Ankaŭ la rakonto estas bona (sed eble iom simpla, kiel taŭgas por infanlibro). Mi kredas ke mia sepjaraĝa filino ŝatus ĝin se ŝi akceptus ke mi laŭtlegus por ŝi!

Hobbita sakonean

Epub batean irakurri dut, eta ziur nago paperezko edizioan gehiago disfrutatuko nuela, oharrak, mapak eta marrazkiak hobeto ikusten baitira! Hobbita eta Tolkienen mundua gustuko duenarentzat oso gomendagarria da argitalpen hau, eta noski Hobbita bera ipuin zoragarria dela esan behar! Merezi du!

The timeless classic of the fantasy genre

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.

Fantastic new audiobook edition

It's been a couple of decades since I last read The Hobbit, but the story still holds up. This new audiobook edition is read by Andy Serkis (the actor who voiced and played Gollum, among many others). His voice acting is spectacular and really adds to the book. Highly recommended!

Es bonito volver a la Tierra Media

No sé si es justo comparar este libro con «El Señor de los Anillos», pero me resulta difícil no hacerlo. Pese a lo interesante de la historia y lo emocionante de cualquier viaje y aventura por la Tierra Media, no siento que haya llegado a conocer a los personajes y encariñarme de ellos como en la trilogía.
