Bilbo, comme tous les hobbits, est un petit être paisible. L'aventure tombe sur lui un beau jour, lorsque Gandalf le magicien et treize nains barbus l'entraînent dans une chasse au trésor périlleuse à la Montagne Solitaire gardée par le dragon Smaug. Il traversera les Monts Brumeux et la forêt elfique de Mirkwood, sera capturé par de puissants trolls et traîné par des orcs dans les entrailles de la terre;il sera contraint à un concours d'énigmes par le sinistre Gollum, englué dans la toile d'une araignée géante, et participera à une bataille légendaire. Bilbo échappera cependant à tous les dangers et reviendra chez lui, seul et incompris, mais riche et plus sage, en possession d'un mystérieux anneau. --back cover
I was a child
The Hobbit is the first of Tolkien's stories set in the Middle Earth... Actually this book needs no introduction as majority of people are probably aware of its existance and know how Tolkien pioneered the modern fantasy genre. However, it still holds strongly to this day. This epic story of a hobbit embarking on an unexpected journey with a team of dwarves and a wizard just really hooks you in and the world around is built with passion and full of surprises. I love it and now I understand why it's so praised by many.
It's been a couple of decades since I last read The Hobbit, but the story still holds up. This new audiobook edition is read by Andy Serkis (the actor who voiced and played Gollum, among many others). His voice acting is spectacular and really adds to the book. Highly recommended!
