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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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

作者简介

John D. Rateliff moved to Wisconsin in 1981 in order to work with the Tolkien manuscripts at Marquette University. He has been active in Tolkien scholarship for many years, delivering papers on Tolkien and the Inklings. While at Marquette, he assisted in the collation of their holdings with those Christopher Tolkien was editing for his History of Middle-earth series. A professional editor, he lives in the Seattle area with his wife and three cats, only one of whom is named after a Tolkien character.

前言/序言

托尔金著作的流行对语言的使用，尤其是在奇幻文学类，已经产生微小但深远的影响，甚至是dwarves“矮人（复数）”和elvish“精灵的；精灵语”这两个原本自19世纪中或甚至更早一点就已经不再被使用的拼法，也在托尔金的复兴下广为现今的字典所接受，分别取代19世纪后dwarfs及elfish的拼法。其他如他所创造的新词eucatastrophe（救赎的时刻，或直译：“善战胜恶”）也在与托尔金著作相关的文章中经常被使用。

看起来很厚很重的样子，其实很轻的。纸质也很好。

因为这三本小说是如此广泛地分布，所以此作品通常被称为魔戒三部曲。但是严格来说这是不对的，因为其构思本就是一部完整的作品。

1937年，托尔金完成了他的第一部作品《哈比人历险记》。尽管这是一部童话，但它同样适合成人阅读。由于这部作品销量不错，出版商（Allen&Unwin）说服托尔金写作续集。这鼓励托尔金完成了他最有名的作品——史诗三部曲《魔戒》。这部作品的写作持续了近十二年，并受到了托尔金的密友C·S·路易斯的支持。

《魔戒》的开头类似儿童作品，但之后写作风格迅速变得严肃和黑暗。《魔戒》是20世纪最流行的文学作品之一，无论是从销售量还是读者评价来讲。托尔金的重要影响在于，在《魔戒》成功之后，奇幻小说这一文学体裁迅速发展起来。

第一次在京东购物，满怀希望盼来包裹，打开一看却有些失望。书皮明显有磨旧的痕迹，书页上满是深深浅浅的黑手印。考虑到这书是参考资料，不想换了。我用橡皮擦了一下，能擦掉一些痕迹，感觉好些。还订了几本原版书，希望拿到的是崭新的
