In un unico volume per la prima volta, questa analisi rivista e aggiornata di come JRR Tolkien arrivò a scrivere il suo capolavoro originale Lo Hobbit include la sua versione completa e inedita della storia, insieme a note e illustrazioni dello stesso Tolkien. Lo Hobbit fu pubblicato per la prima volta il 21 settembre 1937. Come il suo seguito, Il Signore degli Anelli, .È una storia che crebbe nel racconto , e molti personaggi e fili della trama nel testo pubblicato sono piuttosto diversi dalla storia che JRR Tolkien scrisse per la prima volta per leggerla ad alta voce ai suoi giovani figli come una delle loro letture davanti al caminetto. Insieme in un unico volume, The History of the Hobbit presenta il testo completo del manoscritto inedito di Lo Hobbit, accompagnato dal vivace e informativo resoconto di John Rateliff su come il libro venne scritto e pubblicato. Registrando le numerose modifiche apportate alla storia sia prima che dopo la pubblicazione, esamina capitolo per capitolo perché sono state apportate tali modifiche e come riflettono il concetto sempre crescente di Terra di Mezzo di Tolkien. Oltre a riprodurre la versione originale di uno dei romanzi più popolari al mondo sia per i suoi meriti che come fondamento per Il Signore degli Anelli questo libro include molte illustrazioni poco note e bozze di mappe per Lo Hobbit di Tolkien stesso. Sono inoltre presenti ampi commenti sulle date di composizione, su come gli scritti professionali e mitologici iniziali di Tolkien abbiano influenzato la storia, sulla geografia immaginaria da lui creata e su come Tolkien sia arrivato a rivedere il libro anni dopo la pubblicazione per adattarlo agli eventi in Il Signore degli Anelli. Approvato da Christopher Tolkien come accompagnamento al suo essenziale The History of Middle earth in 12 volumi, questo esame ponderato ed esaustivo di una delle storie più preziose della letteratura inglese offre nuove affascinanti intuizioni per coloro che sono cresciuti con questo racconto incantevole e delizierà chiunque stia per varcare per la prima volta la porta rotonda di Bilbo. Il libro di JRR Tolkien The Fall of Númenor .È stato un bestseller del Sunday Times nella settimana del 07 11 2022.

J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 80 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
John D. Rateliff moved to Wisconsin in 1981 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 Seattle with his wife and three cats, only one of whom is named after a Tolkien character.
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.
