Аннотация
RR Tolkien’s `The Hobbit’ is, of course, one of the
greatest children’s books to have been written in the
twentieth century. Based on the stories he told to
his children and originally published in 1937, it is
an almost perfect blend of fantasy, magic and
adventure. It follows the adventures of one Bilbo
Baggins, as he sets off with thirteen dwarves and a
wizard to recover a great treasure stolen from the
dwarves by Smaug the dragon. Along the way they get
into various scrapes with goblins, trolls, elves,
shape shifters and, of course, a dragon. Through a
mix of extreme good luck and his own resourcefulness
Bilbo comes through all these adventures, only to
find things are not as he left them at home.
It’s a great story and works on many levels. For the
younger reader there is the straight adventure story,
which many will find thrilling. For the older reader
there is the subtle growth in Bilbo’s character, as
he changes over the story from a passenger on the
expedition to a main player and the person people
look to for help. There is a study of human nature,
and the effects of greed upon people. In some
respects it is a morality play. But for all that, at
heart, it is a great entertainment.
