This is the story of an adventure undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving, unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar.

THE HOBBIT

After 75 years, The Hobbit translated for the first time into Latin. Fascinating for Latin learners and for Tolkien fans of all ages.

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

 The Hobbit, published 75 years ago, has become 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 transformation of Tolkien's songs and verses into classical Latin metres, will fascinate and entertain readers of all ability, even those with only a minimal acquaintance with the language.

Hobbitus Ille - The Latin Hobbit

Volume 1 of the most comprehensive in-depth companion to Tolkien's life and works ever published, including synopses of all his writings, and a Tolkien gazetteer and who's who.

 The J. R. R. Tolkien Companion and Guide is a comprehensive handbook to one of the most popular authors of the twentieth century.

 One of two volumes comprising this definitive work, the Chronology traces J. R. R. Tolkien's progress from his birth in South Africa in 1892, to the battlefields of France and the lecture-halls of Leeds and Oxford, to his success as the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, until his death in 1973.

 It is the most extensive biographical resource about Tolkien ever published. Thousands of details have been drawn from letters, contemporary documents in libraries and archives, and a wide variety of other published and unpublished sources. Assembled together, they form a revealing portrait of Tolkien in all his aspects: the distinguished scholar of Old and Middle English, the capable teacher and administrator, the devoted husband and father, the brilliant creator of Middle-earth.

The J. R. R. Tolkien Companion and Guide - Volume 1: Chronology

The final part of The History of The Lord of the Rings, an enthralling account of the writing of the Book of the Century which contains many additional scenes and includes the unpublished Epilogue in its entirety.

 In the first section of Sauron Defeated Christopher Tolkien completes his fascinating study of The Lord of the Rings. Beginning with Sam's rescue of Frodo from the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and giving a very different account of the Scouring of the Shire, this section ends with versions of the hitherto unpublished Epilogue, in which, years after the departure of Bilbo and Frodo from the Grey Havens, Sam attempts to answer his children's questions.

 The second section is an edition of The Notion Club Papers. These mysterious papers, discovered in the early years of the twenty-first century, report the discussions of an Oxford club in the years 1986-7, in which after a number of topics, the centre of interest turns to the legend of Atlantis, the strange communications received by other members of the club from the past, and the violent irruption of the legend into the North-west of Europe.

Sauron Defeated

Bilbo, comme tous les hobbits, est un petit être paisible et sans histoire. Son quotidien est bouleversé un beau jour, lorsque Gandalf le magicien et treize nains barbus l'entraînent dans un voyage périlleux. C'est le début d'une grande aventure, d'une fantastique quête au trésor semée d'embûches et d'épreuves, qui mènera Bilbo jusqu'à la Montagne Solitaire gardée par le dragon Smaug...Prélude au Seigneur des anneaux, Bilbo le Hobbit a été vendu à des millions d'exemplaires depuis sa publication en 1937, s'imposant comme l'un des livres les plus aimés et les plus influents du XXIème siècle.

Le hobbit

This single volume edition of J.R.R Tolkien's trilogy is illustrated with reproductions of 50 original Alan Lee paintings. He has also illustrated "Faeries", "Merlin Dreams" and "The Mabinogion".

LORD OF THE RINGS - ILLUSTRATED

D'année en année, le culte jaloux qui entourait Le Seigneur des Anneaux à sa publication dans les années 1950 s'est transformé en succès universel. Les Hobbits, ce « peuple effacé mais très ancien » qui vivait quelque part au nord-ouest de l'Ancien Monde, nous sont devenus aussi familiers que les héros des contes de fées ou ceux des grandes épopées, avec Bilbo, Gandalf, Bombadil ou Galadriel et tous les habitants de la Terre du Milieu.
Magistralement restitués par son fils après la mort de J.R.R. Tolkien, les Contes et Légendes inachevés du Premier Âge prolongent et élargissent l'oeuvre de l'inépuisable conteur.

Contes & légendes inachevés Tome 1 ; le premier âge

Features a tale of adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves, giant spiders, and conversations with the dragon, are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo.
