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and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be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and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.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

作者简介

John D. Rateliff moved to Wisconsin in 1981 in order 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 the Seattle area with his wife and three cats, only one of whom is named after a Tolkien character.

前言/序言

评分☆☆☆☆☆

1937年，托尔金完成了他的第一部作品《哈比人历险记》。尽管这是一部童话，但它同样适合成人阅读。由于这部作品销量不错，出版商（Allen&Unwin）说服托尔金写作续集。这鼓励托尔金完成了他最有名的作品——史诗三部曲《魔戒》。这部作品的写作持续了近十二年，并受到了托尔金的密友C·S·路易斯的支持。

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。
