the hobbit

Hi Everyone, I`m looking for information about the translations of the Hobbit into French (there are two, I`m interested in both). I have the translations themselves, but I`m wondering if anyone knows where I can find information about them? I`m looking for commentary or something similar. Thanks!

Good evening everyone, I recently found a fellow on Etsy, who makes leather-bound copies of The Professor's work. The Silmarillion: https://www.etsy.com/listing/215525965/the-silmarillion-history-book-by-jrr?ref=listing-shop-header-1 Illustrated Lord of the Rings (Complete Work)...

I've been thinking about the possible usefulness of a concise recommendation of "things to consult" for those who like The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. While being well aware of many members here who enjoy in-depth study of Tolkien's literature and who won't need any advice from less expert...

Hello Fellow Tolkien Fans, i'm new here and was curious about something. Basically, i was wondering whether there is an edition of The Hobbit that matches my edition of Lord Of The Rings. I have the 60th Anniversary Edition with the transparent slipcase and illustrations by Alan Lee. It is...

after the success of j.r.r tolkien's the hobbit. it is mentioned that they want the sequel of it. so tolkien made an early draft of silmarillion. But George Allen & Unwin, tolkien's publisher, rejected it. so he remade the sequel and thus the result is lotr. what if they didn't reject the draft...

Well fellow Tolkien forum-ites. It has been a good 13 years since I started my purist's reviews. As I will not be doing the EEs, and unless Jackson comes out with more Tolkien works to butcher, this will be my last movie review. *sigh* :( It seems like yesterday since I started this journey. To...

It just hit home to me now that when this movie comes out, it will be my last review. I've decided not to review the EEs of The Hobbit so after 13 years, I will ending a legacy of purist reviews. I will have to pull out all the stops on my last one. Going to see it the weekend it comes out. I...

Firstly, I was a bit annoyed that download purchasers got to watch the film a good two weeks before my DVD copy was available; but I'm over that now. I don't want to give too much away, for those who haven't watched it yet; but I think that the extended edition is a better watch than the...

Hey everybody! Been awhile since I've been back! I did The Hobbit last year with my ELA class with mixed results and am starting it again with my new class tomorrow. The goal is to have it done before December so we can watch both movies (ugh...) before the 3rd one comes up. I usually have...

So I've had the blu-ray of The Hobbit Extended Edition sitting on my shelf for a few months because I couldn't get myself to watch this movie again. I've already posted my review in the other thread I think, but wanted to write something about the Extended Edition. I watched it last night and...

Ranking: 4/10 *SPOILERS AHEAD* Well folks, many of you know this is my custom to review the movies like this and has been since they first came out back in the First Age of the Tolkien forum. Before the FADs (Film Adaptation Defenders) come out in full force and knock me for my review...

Jemima Caitlin, illustrator for the latest edition of The Hobbit, was guest speaker at a seminar I attended. Her first encounter with The Hobbit's publishers came when she chose to illustrate Roverandom for her degree project (using a technique involving ink on glass, with the illustration...

So, did the film's portrayal of your favorite character satisfy, delight, or dismay you? My favorites were the same in the book and the movie: Bilbo, Balin, Fili, Kili, and Thorin. Fili and Kili seemed somewhat undwarvish, however; and, though Thorin's pride is evident, he's not nearly as...

This video link may have already been posted in the past; but its appearance on The Tolkien Society (UK) Facebook page encouraged me to post it here for a wider Tolkien audience. It is Christopher Tolkien, talking to camera, about his father's Legendarium and how The Hobbit and The Lord of...

The Hobbit:An Unexpected Journey: A Purist's Review Well. After 9 years of reviews such as these, this dusty old curmudgeon from the First Age of this forum has returned with another. Many of the newbies here don't know my tradition of these types of reviews as I have put one out for all the...

(No need to demean yourself by googling for answers) See how knowledgable you are when it comes to the Dwarves in the Hobbit: 1. Do you know how many Dwarves in Bilbo's company in the Hobbit? 2. Can you (try to) name all of them? How to approach the upcoming movie The Hobbit for...

In the Hobbit movie - part 3; When Roac (chief of the raven of the Lonely Mountain) sent some messengers (fellow and much younger and also probably talking ravens just like him) to the Iron Hills to carry Thorin's request for Dain to send some reinforcement, surely we will see PJ's...

Every-time I go back to it, I'm kind surprised how much of the Grander mythology is hinted at it was was originally just a half-baked children's tale.
