The Hobbit, or There and Back Again презентация

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
Known by his pen name J. R. R. Tolkien, was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor who is best known as the author of the classic high-fantasy works. The beginning of his writer’s fame was book, named
The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

The original purpose of writing "The Hobbit" - Tolkien wanted to entertain his small children. Unfinished manuscript is read only by close friends of the author, and, ultimately, it falls into the hands of the editor of the London «Allen & Unwin», which asks the writer to complete the story and draw the illustrations. The first publication of "The Hobbit" was released on September 21, 1937 in the UK. This is the first published work, which reveals the universe of Middle-earth, on which Tolkien has been working for more than twenty years. It meets a critical success and brings great profit that motivates Allen & Unwin, to ask Tolkien to continue. More success and fame was continued - "The Lord of the Rings" is undoubtedly a much more somber and serious work, in comparison with "The Hobbit." For consistency between the two books, Tolkien makes a change to the text of "The Hobbit".

In this book, author tells us about life in his world Middle-earth and follows the quest of home-loving hobbit Bilbo Baggins to win a share of the treasure guarded by Smaug the Dragon. Bilbo's journey takes him from light-hearted, country surroundings into more dangerous lands around his town Shire. I think everyone knows what happened there exactly because of movie “The Hobbit”. But if you still weren’t involved in this beautiful story I’ll tell a little about it.

This is very briefly retelling of the plot.
Action in this book happens in world Middle-Earth, full of creatures from fairy tales and myths - dwarfs, hobbits, trolls, elves. The main character, hobbit Bilbo - middle age, rustic homebody. Coerced by wizard Gandalf, he goes in dangerous adventure with couple of dwarfs. They want to get back the treasure of their ancestors taken by evil fire breathing dragon. On their way they will meet many dangers like trolls-rogues, groups of goblins, and even dragon looks to be not a peaceful lizard. But because of the courage, skill and ingenuity of the hero and his companions as well as through their many friends, all the adventure ends happily, the dragon is defeated, the invasion of goblins stopped, and the protagonist is sent to his home, along with a small proportion of treasures and magic ring.

Elaboration of the Tolkien world admires. Even taking into account the fact that he worked on the huge amount of time, amazes imagination and clearly unusual mind of the author. Were created huge number of prototypes of beings inhabiting these lands. Tolkien told the history of the world virtually from scratch, with the involvement of the higher mind and the celestials. This hardworking and thoughtful man even created several languages spoken by intelligent creatures like dwarves, elves and even vargs (wolves with mind).
