"In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit." So begins one of the most beloved and delightful tales in the English language. Set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature's most enduring and well-loved novels.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an epic adventure story. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.
As an unlikely hero, Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
Written for J. R.R. Tolkien's own children, this beloved classic fantasy, The Hobbit, has sold many millions of copies worldwide and established itself as a modern epic fantasy classic.

Von 1925 an war er Professor für englische Philologie in Oxford und erlangte schon bald großes Ansehen als einer der angesehensten Philologen weit über die Grenzen Englands hinaus. Seine weltbekannten Bücher »Der Hobbit«, »Der Herr der Ringe«, und »Das Silmarillion« haben die Fantasyliteratur entscheidend geprägt und wurden in über 60 Sprachen übersetzt. Millionen Leserinnen und Leser werden seither von den Ereignissen in Mittelerde in Atem gehalten. Der große Erzähler starb 1973 in Bournemouth.More from J. R. R. Tolkien
