Deluxe slipcased hardback edition of The Hobbit, illustrated throughout by acclaimed Tolkien artist, Alan Lee. Features exclusive new paintings and black & white designs appearing for the very first time, together with a removable art card and two foldout maps.
Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar!
Now, for the first time since its publication in 1997, this illustrated edition has been revised and expanded, with a number of brand-new paintings and black & white illustrations added by the artist.
Readers will be able to follow Bilbo's adventure from Bag End to the Lonely Mountain and back again - while also enjoying 30 full-page colour paintings and 50 pencil drawings and illustrations which accompany this enchanting tale, together with an exclusive new cover design by the artist.
This beautifully designed new hardback edition has additionally been enhanced for the first time with sprayed edges, and is housed in a custom-built slipcase stamped in silver foil with designs created exclusively by Alan Lee and which also features a unique hidden artwork. It is accompanied by a removable art card and two foldout maps drawn by J. R.R. Tolkien.
Biography (J. R. R. Tolkien)
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.More from J. R. R. Tolkien
