We
have already reviewed the first two installments of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit
Movie Trilogy.
The
Hobbit is essentially a children's fantasy novel written by Mr. JRR Tolkien. It
was published in 1937.
The
Hobbit serves as a prequel to The Lord of The Rings. It is how it all begun. While
The Hobbit is lighter in its tone (considering it is a children's novel), The
Lord of The Rings is much more serious and dark.
The
Hobbit chronicles the story of the journey and adventures of Bilbo Baggins, a
hobbit, from Hobbiton, Shire.
Hobbits
are peaceful people who don't like any adventures. One day, a Wizard - Gandalf
and a company of Dwarves (under the leadership of Thorin Oakenshield) visit
Bilbo and offer him a job of 'burglar' for their mission to Lonely Mountain. In
Lonely Mountain waits the fierce dragon – Smaug, The Magnificent.
Smaug
is the one who destroyed Erebor, the prosperous city of dwarves under the Lonely
Mountain. Now, dwarves seek the revenge and want to reclaim their gold and
treasures stolen by Smaug.
They
visit dangerous forests, misty mountains, deep dungeons, elven capital,
Woodland Realm, Beorn’s house and Gollum's cave during their journey. They are
confronted by Trolls, Goblins, Wargs, Giant Spiders and many creatures along
the way.
It
is a typical Tolkien book. A modern classic and a must read.
