In foramine terrae habitabat hobbitus. (‘In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.')

The Hobbit, is one of the world's most popular classic stories, appealing to adults as much as to the children for whom J.R.R. Tolkien first wrote the book. Translated worldwide into more than 60 modern languages, now Hobbitus Ille is finally published in Latin, and will be of interest to all those who are studying the language, whether at school or at a higher level.

In the great tradition of publishing famous children's books in Latin, professional classicist and lifelong Tolkien fan Mark Walker provides a deft translation of the entire book. His attention to detail, including the transforming Tolkien's songs into a variety of classical and rhythmic Latin metres, will fascinate and entertain all Latinists, who are rarely given such an opportunity to read Latin simply for the pleasure of reading. —front flap

Une friandise.

5 étoiles

Quel bonheur de se plonger dans le Hobbit...un avant-goût du Seigneur des Anneaux, mais sans la noirceur. C'est un petit bijou de moins de 300 pages, visiblement écrit pour un jeune public, mais que j'ai découvert cette semaine à l'âge adulte avec un immense plaisir, comme un enfant. Chacun des 20 chapitres de 10-20 pages est d'une certaine façon complet, pas de cliffhanger, on ne reste pas mort d'angoisse de connaître la suite, mais on reprend quand même le livre le lendemain.

Plutôt facile à lire en anglais malgré quelques mots rares ou recherchés, on sent que l'auteur a recherché un langage adapté au jeune public, le public non-anglophone l'en remerciera aussi.

Review of "The Hobbit"

4 étoiles

It was fun to read this in a language I can just so read. It gives the prose a more archaic feel. And maybe the nordic sound of Danish is a good fit. The book itself is enjoyable even for a non-Tolkien fan and only occasional fantasy reader like myself.

The timeless classic of the fantasy genre

5 étoiles

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.

Fantastic new audiobook edition

5 étoiles

It's been a couple of decades since I last read The Hobbit, but the story still holds up. This new audiobook edition is read by Andy Serkis (the actor who voiced and played Gollum, among many others). His voice acting is spectacular and really adds to the book. Highly recommended!

Es bonito volver a la Tierra Media

3 étoiles

No sé si es justo comparar este libro con «El Señor de los Anillos», pero me resulta difícil no hacerlo. Pese a lo interesante de la historia y lo emocionante de cualquier viaje y aventura por la Tierra Media, no siento que haya llegado a conocer a los personajes y encariñarme de ellos como en la trilogía.
