J.R.R. 托尔金(J.R.R. Tolkien)(1892-1973),英国文豪,天才的语言学家,牛津大学默顿学院英国语言与文学教授,1919—1920年牛津英语词典(OED)的编委。他以瑰丽的想像和精深的语言,建立了一个英语世界的全新神话体系。托尔金的雄心壮志不在于写作一个传奇故事,或一部史诗。在他所创作的一系列中洲史诗中,影响最为深远的是《霍比特人》(The Hobbit: There and Back Again) 和《魔戒》(The Lord of the Rings)。这两部巨作被誉为当代奇幻作品的鼻祖,至今已畅销2.5亿余册,被翻译成60余种语言。美国每年销售的大约一亿本平装书中,就有四分之一可以追溯到托尔金的作品。《魔戒》被美国亚马逊网络书店票选为“两千年以来最重要的书”。由托尔金小说改编的电影《指环王》《霍比特人》掀起21世纪奇幻文艺的全面复兴。世界拜倒在他脚下。

撰文/ 王晓晶 巩晓莉 张铎 口碑不及《魔戒》三部曲,却在全球公映后登顶票房冠军,在奇幻电影持续发酵十多年并早已长成好莱坞摇钱树的今天,技术狂人彼得·杰克逊重返中土世界的新作《霍比特人1:意外之旅》(以下简称《霍比特人》)有这样的表现实属必然。虽然电影的母体...
评分新译名表一出,Orc,是奥克还是半兽人,这古老问题又来了。 托尔金自己曾经给希望将他的作品翻译成其他语言的翻译者们写下过Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings一文,在文中,托尔金曾对各种名称的翻译原则和细节进行过详尽的阐述和指示。文景版,也即从《霍比特人...

J.R.R. Tolkien's own description for the original edition: If you care for journeys there and back, out of the comfortable Western world, over the edge of the Wild, and home again, and can take an interest in a humble hero (blessed with a little wisdom and a little courage and considerable good luck), here is a record of such a journey and such a traveler. The period is the ancient time between the age of Faerie and the dominion of men, when the famous forest of Mirkwood was still standing, and the mountains were full of danger. In following the path of this humble adventurer, you will learn by the way (as he did) -- if you do not already know all about these things -- much about trolls, goblins, dwarves, and elves, and get some glimpses into the history and politics of a neglected but important period.
For Mr. Bilbo Baggins visited various notable persons; conversed with the dragon , Smaug the Magnificent; and was present, rather unwillingly, at the Battle of the Five Armies. This is all the more remarkable, since he was a hobbit. Hobbits have hitherto been passed over in history and legend, perhaps because they as a rule preferred comfort to excitement. But this account, based on his personal memoirs, of the one exciting year in the otherwise quiet life of Mr. Baggins will give you a fair idea of the estimable people now (it is said) becoming rather rare. They do not like noise.
Bilbo is very funny and always hungry...
评分As Gandalf told to the hobbit Bilbo,The world is not in your books and maps,it's out there. I saw a wilderland with Dwarves,Goblin,Lake-man and Elves..
评分Tolkins的英式幽默在这本书里尽现无遗。到了指环王系列就不能了,因为主题已转沉重。
评分Merry is May-time and June is for the joy!
