For the first time, a special enriched edition of the enchanting prologue of "The Lord of the Rings," illustrated with over 50 sketches, drawings, paintings, and maps by J. R. R. Tolkien himself, with the full text printed in two colors.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling farther than his pantry in Bag End. But his pleasure is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of thirteen dwarves appear at his door one day to take him on an unexpected adventure ‘there and back again’. They have a plan to attack the treasure of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…
Written for his own children, "The Hobbit" was published on September 21, 1937. With a beautiful cover design, a handful of black and white illustrations, and two maps by the author himself, the book became an instant success and was reprinted immediately after with five colored images.
His own selection of completed paintings and drawings has become an integral part of the text, adorning the editions of "The Hobbit" for more than 85 years. However, the published art has offered only a glimpse into Tolkien's creative process, and many additional sketches, colored designs, and maps – although exhibited and published elsewhere – have never appeared within the pages of "The Hobbit".
In this unique enriched edition of Tolkien's charming classic fairy tale, the full palette of his art is reproduced for the first time, presenting more than 50 illustrations to accompany Bilbo Baggins on the adventure ‘there and back again’. Pages: 384, Dimensions: 14.9x14.9cm
