The Annotated Hobbit 霍比特人，注释版 英文原版

The Annotated Hobbit is the definitive edition of this beloved children's classic. Since its first publication in 1937, it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world. Now, this annotated edition offers readers a wealth of accompanying illustrations and notes, which take them further into both the story and the tale of how it was written. As with all classics, repeated readings of The Hobbit continue to bring new details and perspectives to the reader's mind. And Tolkien's Middle-earth is a vast mine of treasures and knowledge, its roots delving deep into folklore, mythology, and language. In this annotated edition, Douglas Anderson's annotations make fascinating reading. Many of Tolkien's own illustrations embellish the text, and numerous illustrations from foreign editions exhibit an extraordinary range of visual interpretation. Moreover, in an appendix, readers can find details of the revisions made by Tolkien at various times to the published text, which provide an uncommon and privileged glimpse into the special concerns of an exceptional and painstaking writer. The Hobbit is, therefore, an ideal book for annotation: as well as offering a marvellous and entrancing story, it introduces the reader to the richly imagined world of Middle-earth, a world more fully and complexly realised in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Readers who love classic literature should not miss this definitive edition of The Annotated Hobbit. It is an eye-opening journey into the world of Middle-earth, with a wealth of accompanying illustrations and notes that take the reader deeper into the story and the tale of how it was written. Indeed, this book is a true treasure for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien and lovers of classic literature alike.
