Description

The acclaimed BBC Radio 4 production of J. R. R. Tolkien's famous saga Dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls, dragons and wizards - these are the ingredients of J. R.R. Tolkien's wonderful fantasy, the prelude to The Lord of The Rings, now the subject of a major feature film series. The hero of the tale is Bilbo Baggins, a home-loving unambitious hobbit who is suddenly thrust into what turns out to be the biggest adventure of his life. Guided by Gandalf the wizard, Bilbo and a company of dwarves set out to destroy Smaug the Magnificent, a ferocious dragon who guards a treasure hoard. Their journey contains many dangers, and in facing them the reluctant Bilbo's great resourcefulness and courage surprises everyone - not least himself! Since it was first broadcast in 1968, this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation has become a classic in its own right, perfectly evoking Tolkien's magical other world and its enchanting, fantastic inhabitants.

This radio dramatisation was first broadcast in 1969, starring Paul Daneman as Bilbo Baggins, and is re-released ahead of the new Peter Jackson movie, due for release in December. 5 CDs.

Biography

J.R.R. Tolkien wurde am 3. Januar 1892 in Bloemfontein (Südafrika) geboren und wuchs in England auf. Von 1925 an war er Professor für englische Philologie in Oxford und erlangte schon bald großes Ansehen als einer der angesehensten Philologen weit über die Grenzen Englands hinaus. Seine weltbekannten Bücher »Der Hobbit«, »Der Herr der Ringe«, und »Das Silmarillion« haben die Fantasyliteratur entscheidend geprägt und wurden in über 60 Sprachen übersetzt. Millionen Leserinnen und Leser werden seither von den Ereignissen in Mittelerde in Atem gehalten. Der große Erzähler starb 1973 in Bournemouth.
