Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey ‘there and back again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…
Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit was published on 21 September 1937. With a beautiful cover design, a handful of black & white drawings and two maps by the author himself, the book became an instant success and was reprinted shortly afterwards with five colour plates.
Tolkien’s own selection of finished paintings and drawings have become inseparable from his text, adorning editions of The Hobbit for more than 85 years. But the published art has afforded only a glimpse of Tolkien’s creative process, and many additional sketches, coloured drawings and maps — although exhibited and published elsewhere — have never appeared within the pages of The Hobbit.
In this unique enhanced edition of Tolkien’s enchanting classic tale, the full panoply of his art is reproduced for the first time, presenting more than 50 illustrations to accompany Bilbo Baggins on his adventure ‘there and back again’.

Отзывы на это издание
Это не книга, а издание мечты! Как фанат Толкина, давно собираю "Хоббита". Но это юбилейное издание - просто бриллиант! Главная особенность - в книге собраны иллюстрации самого профессора. И они потрясающие!
Плюсы
Нереальной красоты книга! Твердый переплет, суперобложка, ляссе, цветной срез с руническим шрифтом (на полке смотрится просто шикарно). Внутри - больше 50 цветных и черно-белых скетчей и рисунков самого автора.
