内容简介
Sumptuous, oversized hardback edition of the beloved children's classic, fully illustrated with over 60 watercolour and pencil illustrations by award-winning artist, Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien's great classic work, The Hobbit, celebrated its 60th year of publication (1937) with a gorgeous illustrated edition by artist Alan Lee, winner of the Kate Greenaway medal for illustration, and creator of the fabulously successful Centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings. Containing 22 full colour illustrations depicting key scenes from this all-time classic (scenes such as Gollum and Bilbo, The Wargs, Smaug the Dragon and The Battle of the Five Armies), this beautifully designed volume also includes a wealth of integrated pencil drawings which demonstrate perfectly Alan's genius at work. Alan Lee's work on this book, as well as the illustrated Lord of the Rings, led to him being approached by Peter Jackson to join the film trilogy as Conceptual Artist. The same artistic vision, present in his beautiful paintings and drawings, played a major role in the look of the films, and his work received the ultimate accolade with an Academy Award for Best Art Direction on The Return of the King.
作者简介
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) is the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic and extraordinary works of fiction as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. His books have been translated into more than fifty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
约翰·罗纳德·瑞尔·托尔金(J.R.R. Tolkien)(1892-1973),英国文豪,天才的语言学家,牛津大学默顿学院英国语言与文学教授,1919—1920年牛津英语词典(OED)的编委。他以瑰丽的想像和精深的语言,建立了一个英语世界的全新神话体系。托尔金的雄心壮志不在于写作一个传奇故事,或一部史诗。在他所创作的一系列中洲史诗中,影响最为深远的是《霍比特人》(The Hobbit: There and Back Again) 和《魔戒》(The Lord of the Rings)。这两部巨作被誉为当代奇幻作品的鼻祖,至今已畅销2.5亿余册,被翻译成60余种语言。美国每年销售的大约一亿本平装书中,就有四分之一可以追溯到托尔金的作品。《魔戒》被票选为“两千年以来最重要的书”。由托尔金小说改编的电影《指环王》、《霍比特人》掀起21世纪奇幻文艺的全面复兴,世界拜倒在他脚下。
精彩书评
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." The hobbit-hole in question belongs to one Bilbo Baggins, an upstanding member of a "little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded dwarves." He is, like most of his kind, well off, well fed, and best pleased when sitting by his own fire with a pipe, a glass of good beer, and a meal to look forward to. Certainly this particular hobbit is the last person one would expect to see set off on a hazardous journey; indeed, when Gandalf the Grey stops by one morning, "looking for someone to share in an adventure," Baggins fervently wishes the wizard elsewhere. No such luck, however; soon 13 fortune-seeking dwarves have arrived on the hobbit's doorstep in search of a burglar, and before he can even grab his hat or an umbrella, Bilbo Baggins is swept out his door and into a dangerous adventure. The dwarves' goal is to return to their ancestral home in the Lonely Mountains and reclaim a stolen fortune from the dragon Smaug. Along the way, they and their reluctant companion meet giant spiders, hostile elves, ravening wolves--and, most perilous of all, a subterranean creature named Gollum from whom Bilbo wins a magical ring in a riddling contest. It is from this life-or-death game in the dark that J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork, The Lord of the Rings, would eventually spring. Though The Hobbit is lighter in tone than the trilogy that follows, it has, like Bilbo Baggins himself, unexpected iron at its core. Don't be fooled by its fairy-tale demeanor; this is very much a story for adults, though older children will enjoy it, too. By the time Bilbo returns to his comfortable hobbit-hole, he is a different person altogether, well primed for the bigger adventures to come--and so is the reader.

《指环王》第一集《护戒使者》最后一集《王者归来》,《霍比特人》第一集《意外旅程》最后一集《去而复返》,这样才是在认真的做一件事,在打造影史经典,而不是在忽悠观众在拿票房。第二集已经让我彻底失望。第三集光看名字已经可以预想到,彼得为了票房,已经破坏了整个故事结构,导演的底线也被《五军之战》 彻底碾碎。 这是凡是对中土世界(托尔金和彼得打造的完美世界观)有爱的影迷朋友,都会有的共鸣。正如我第一段提到的,Frodo在归来后,说的那番动人的话语。从意外之旅的启程,但去而复返的归来,原本的两部也被扩展为三部曲,更把初心遗失了。PJ以前在把《魔戒三部曲》搬上银幕时,首次原著改编,无所参考,态度认真地造一个关于电影的梦。这也是为什么《指环王》能够被称作“商业+艺术”结合典范的事例。 到了做《霍比特人》时,不再的不仅仅是文艺的、更符合原著整体气质的片名,而是重新择取一个自以为更合适的名字时,自己思维的潜移默化间,已经把内核丢掉了。《霍比特人1》让我很感动,因为我看到中土世界的归来和毕尔博的启程,《霍比特人2》我也很感动,因为我看到原著的经典一一再现。尽管它们都显得拖沓。我知道的是,在《霍比特人:五军之战》里,我同样会被感动,但我不知道已经为了追求商业票房的电影,还能有几分回味。《指环王:王者归来》里,虽然删去了“夏尔平乱”章节,但在取得魔多胜利、霍比特人归乡後,依然有很多东西可以讲述。所以,人们看到Frodo写书时的那段自白,看到灰港别离,都十分感动。《五军之战》,连关于“去而复返”名字都丢了的最终章,我预见得到它的更多噱头和更多票房,但我想象不到曾经的感情。
