內容簡介

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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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

《魔戒》的開頭類似兒童作品，但之後寫作風格迅速變得嚴肅和黑暗。《魔戒》是20世紀最流行的文學作品之一，無論是從銷售量還是讀者評價來講。托爾金的重要影響在於，在《魔戒》成功之後，奇幻小說這一文學體裁迅速發展起來。

私底下，托爾金被任何有關種族及語言學意含的事物吸引，並且思考著一種與生俱來的語言品味，一種他在1955年“英語與威爾士語”這場演講中所提到的“母語”（native language），相對於自幼時所學的語言（cradle language）。他認為西密德蘭的中古英語是他所擁有的“母語”，就如同他在1955年給大詩人奧登的書信中所提到：‘在血緣上，我是一位西密德蘭人（並且早先在我第一眼看到西密德蘭的中古英語時，我就已經視他為已知的語言）。’

英國齣版的7冊套裝跟隨托爾金的六篇間隔篇排，但第六篇末尾的附錄被獨立成為一冊。所看到的三部麯每冊的名字是在他去世後纔決定的，結閤瞭托爾金生前的構思、每篇的標題和整部作品阿爾達的語言 托爾金的學術生涯和他的文學創作兩者和他所鍾愛的語言和哲學是不可分割的。他在大學時代專攻古希臘哲學，並自1918年開始投入牛津英語辭典的編寫工作，其中被認為曾研究W為首字的一些詞匯，包括walrus“海象”此字的字源—一個他曾頭痛許久的詞匯。1920年，托爾金赴利茲擔任英語高級講師，並聲稱是因為他而使得語言學學生的數量由5位增加至20位。他曾教授古英語英雄詩體、英語曆史、許多古英語及中古英語文本、古英語及中古英語哲學、日耳曼哲學介紹、哥德語、古冰島語及中古威爾士語。1925年托爾金33歲那年，他成功申請到盎格魯撒剋遜的Rawlinson及Bosworth教授職缺，並以其在利茲的日耳曼哲學的學生曾組成一個“維京俱樂部”（VikingClub）為傲—在俱樂部裏，大學生可以自由地閱讀古斯堪的納維亞的冒險故事及喝啤酒。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

托爾金認為語言及與之關聯的神話傳說是不可分割的，因此他終究對國際輔助語言持悲觀的態度：他在1930年一場演講“秘密的罪行”中對一群世界語的使用者說：‘你們的語言將産生一部神話’，然而在1956年他卻下一個結論：‘沃拉普剋語、世界語、伊多語及諾維亞語等等，諸如此類，均是枯萎死亡的語言，遠比現已不被使用的遠古語言死的還要透，因為他們的創作者從未創作任何世界語的傳奇故事。’
