Finally pinned to my list of successes, this book can join the rest of my library. Well yes, as to admit at the outset, soon 32 years I had not yet read "The Hobbit " . Now it's doing! + + + The back cover + + +
Bilbo, like all hobbits, is a small peaceful. The adventure falls on him like lightning when the wizard Gandalf and thirteen dwarves beards just talk to her treasure, a perilous expedition to the Lonely Mountain, guarded by the great dragon Smaug, Bilbo leave because with them! It will cross the Lone-lands and forest of Mirkwood which must not leave the path will be captured by the trolls who feed on human flesh, driven by the goblins in the bowels of the earth, forced into a riddle contest by the sinister Gollum, stuck in the web of a giant spider ... Bilbo, however, escape all the dangers and come back home, lost reputation in the world of hobbits, but richer and wiser. Bilbo hobbit, a classic of modern fantasy literature.
+ + + + + + My opinion
As I mentioned here earlier, I had never read "The Hobbit" . And not to die completely uneducated, I wanted to redress this shortcoming. So as I exhume this book in my stack to read when he took the dust and a few months already. If it was dusty, the content is nevertheless effective. Admittedly, the style of JRR Tolkien took a few wrinkles, but this classic style a little rich and I like finally well enough. His descriptions are such that we imagine very well what surrounds us and it feels to walk on familiar ground when it is open imagination. While on his world is no longer unknown to anyone, the film adaptation of Jackson has pictures and voices on certain characters, but I admit he has done is a film that resembles the image I did the book (roughly of course!). Also note that an adaptation of " The Hobbit" is in progress ... We'll see what happens.
But back to the book. The phrasing is a bit bombastic certainly pleasant but sometimes he can be pompous, as if Tolkien wanted to do too but the style is very youth that game. I notice it more now that I took "The Lord of the Rings" for a replay, but it is certain that those who do not like the style a little busy Tolkien's not like it either. For cons, I can see myself playing this kind of book to my children in the next few years. Or give them to read because it's exactly the kind of book I should have read in my youth. This book offered a very nice imagination and style, if somewhat conventional, but still very enjoyable to read. It is a defect that is not one: songs and poems. Both in English it must give something, both in French this does nothing and even sounds a bit ridiculous in the process. We will see what will happen when I read "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil" where there are only that, but VO VF, history can compare ...
Finally, "The Hobbit" still a wonderful adventure that ends on a beautiful majestic endpoint, adventurous and belligerent. I am very happy to have read and I recommend it as a good book ecellent youth. A classic in any case which has some wrinkles, but wrinkles beautiful!
+ + + + + + But still
I read this book as part of Middle Earth Challenge . I first tried with "The Silmarillion" but unfortunately I soon dropped out. I will try again later accoups. In the meantime, I should read soon "The Fellowship of the Ring" a common reading.
Meanwhile, I had embarked on a small level, the Challenge Hobbit, and it is something successful. It is a challenge launched by The Bursar and Resmiranda . Thank you for this walk in Tolkien!
