"Lo hobbit" è il libro con cui Tolkien ha presentato per la prima volta, nel 1937, il foltissimo mondo mitologico del Signore degli Anelli, che ormai milioni di persone di ogni età, sparse ovunque, conoscono in tutti i suoi minuti particolari. Tra i protagonisti di tale mondo sono gli hobbit, minuscoli esseri "dolci come il miele e resistenti come le radici di alberi secolari", timidi, capaci di "sparire veloci e silenziosi al sopraggiungere di persone indesiderate", con un'arte che sembra magica ma è "unicamente dovuta a un'abilità professionale che l'eredità, la pratica e un'amicizia molto intima con la terra hanno reso inimitabile da parte di razze più grandi e goffe" quali gli uomini.

The timeless classic of the fantasy genre

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.

I read it years ago (70's) and I spent many of hours reading the trilogy in high school when I should have been doing other things. I do not regret it though.

Immersive adventures in the childhood

When I was a kid, it was hard to read, but interesting at the same time. I think, it's a good book to help children learn that patience reaps rewards. Of a cool story in this particular case.
