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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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

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。

《霍比特人》自1937年首次出版,已被翻译成64种语言,销售超过1亿册,成为伟大的现代经典。17年后,续作《魔戒》出版。《霍比特人》完美地融合了史诗气派与童心稚趣。故事发生在精灵强盛的时代之后、人类统治的时代之前。那时著名的黑森林依然耸立,群山间仍充满艰险。如果此前你对这些浑然不知,那么随着这位平凡探险家的不凡旅程,你会和他一道顺便认识食人妖、半兽人、矮人和精灵,也会了解到那个遭到忽视的伟大时代。

另一项与托尔金身为哲学家的专业成就并驾齐驱,有时甚至超越它而使得他的学术产出相形渺小的,就是其对人造语言创作的热爱。其中发展得最成熟的就是昆雅和辛达林,此两种人造语言的语源关系构成了大部份托尔金传说故事集系列的核心。对于托尔金来说,语言及文法,是攸关美感及谐音的重要元素,而昆雅更特别是以“语音美感”(phonaesthetic)的考量去设计;它的创造概念为“精灵拉丁语”,在语音上也是以拉丁语(Elvenlatin)为基础,并以芬兰语及希腊语为灵感来源。

托尔金原来打算出一本大块头,但是因为在战后纸张短缺,所以他的想法没能付诸实现。最后小说只能分成三册出版:《魔戒首部曲-魔戒同盟》(篇I和篇II)、《魔戒二部曲-双塔 》(篇III和篇IV)和《魔戒三部曲-国王归来》(篇V和篇VI,6个附录,4个索引)
