Description

Bilbo Baggins is a good-natured middle-aged hobbit who guiltlessly enjoys the small pleasures of a comfortable daily life: smoking his pipe in front of the fire and savoring his nice meal. However, his tranquility is suddenly interrupted when one day the wizard Gandalf and a group of dwarves appear on his doorstep, doing everything they can to lure him into an adventure with incalculable consequences for everyone.

Their plan is to seize the treasure guarded by the Dragon Smaug (the Usurper), with whom Thorin Oakenshield, a member of the group of dwarves and heir to the Kingdom of the Dwarves, has unfinished business from the past.

Bilbo Baggins has no desire to leave the idyllic village of the Shire. However, in terms of his lineage, Bilbo is half Took, a dreamy race that thirsts for heroic deeds. Thus, the prospect of the journey awakens his hidden self and drives him to agree and take part in an adventure that surpasses all imagination.

The prelude to the monumental trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" is an unparalleled fantasy adventure and at the same time an unforgettable heroic tale that for many decades has captivated and enchanted both young and old.

    The Hobbit is a captivating adventure that held my attention from the first page to the last. A true masterpiece of fantasy!

    In my subjective opinion, it is definitely a more enjoyable and light read than The Lord of the Rings, without it being automatically bad or good. Start with this for sure.

    Excellent book. Interesting plot and wonderful characters. It is suitable for all ages. It differs quite a bit from the movie and has more details. I recommend you to buy it.

    A masterpiece for young and old. Excellent plot, very interesting characters, and an amazing background (a whole world to explore, languages, etc.) that encourages the reader to delve deeper into the world created by Tolkien and read more. Those who read it because they liked Peter Jackson's trilogy will find a completely different narrative, without the ridiculous exaggerations that Hollywood imposes for the sake of... consumption and conformity of popcorn eaters.

    This book is fantastic. It has many differences from the movie but I think it's worth reading. It was written about a hundred years ago, so it has many differences in writing style that we know. Tolkien may seem slow or boring at times, maybe he is, maybe not, but I'm not here to judge that because he is the only one who describes everything with the slightest detail. Read it if you like stories with imagination, fantasy worlds, elves, adventures, journeys, and magic. Read it because I truly believe it's worth it.
