The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: Boxed Set

Product Information

Tenía curiosidad por leer la trilogía del Señor de los Anillos, el Hobbit ya lo había leído e incluso tenía otra edición. His books have been translated into over 50 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. The battle of the five armies took about 20 minutes to read in the book and three hours to watch on screen. Tolkien firmly believed that his characters had existed long before he had, that God had given him the story.

He was very aware of this part of his personality and so added a certain aspect to deal with any possible plot-holes (like he perfectionist he was). Likewise, in a well-written story, side-characters should be kept to the minimum needed to move the plot and entertain the reader with a variety of personalities.

After serving in the First World War, he became best known for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, selling 150 million copies in more than 40 languages worldwide. Elvish, Dwarvish, and the languages of men transported me to the heart of each culture, enriching the immersive experience.Fili and Kili are made more of in the movies than the book, and along with their uncle Thorin are turned into handsome Hollywood swashbucklers, which Tolkien probably never intended. However if you wanted this for decoration or to last (especially if you take forever to finish a book) this book will damage easily. My journey within Middle Earth stated as young teenager - my parents gave me 'The Hobbit' as a Christmas present one year and my father and I decided we'd enjoy it together. His books have been translated into over 80 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.

R. Tolkien's three volume masterpiece is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale--a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth. This deluxe slipcased edition of The Hobbit, printed and bound using superior materials including a silk ribbon marker, features the definitive text, plus Tolkien’s paintings and drawings in full colour, and a special fold-out version of Thror’s Map. One cannot entirely blame Tolkien because Jordan, Martin, Goodkind, Paolini, Brooks, and Salvatore have created a genre out of his work which is unoriginal, cloying, escapist, and sexually unpalatable (if often successful). I was not surprised at all with Boromir's ending, it was actually kind of funny and sad at the same time. Honestly, I'm still wondering where the hell I got the patience to sit down and read the whole thing.Tolkien’s most important poetic dramas, that explores timely themes such as the nature of heroism and chivalry during war, and which features unpublished and never-before-seen texts and drafts. While there are have been plenty of hugely popular series in recent years—Fifty Shades of Grey, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and Divergent come to mind…the series is also a hallmark of literary history. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care.

Son libros pequeños, de bolsillo básicamente, útiles para llevarlos cargando a todos lados, solamente con uno de ellos tuve un problema de que al estarlo leyendo se le zafó la cubierta y tuve que arreglarlo, pero de ahí en más no tuve ningún problema con ellos. When Tolkien began writing it in 1937, he merely wanted it to be a sequel to his clever children's story, The Hobbit. Many corrections and edits are made to our favourite hobbits’ narrations, but as the years go by, copies of the Red Book of Westmarch start disappearing or getting destroyed. Before the movies had been released, LOTR/H used to be our own secret garden where we could have escaped any time we liked, but now oue own images have been replaced or landscaped by Peter Jackson.Even if we lament its stolid lack of imagination, The Lord of the Rings is the work of a careful and deliberate scholar of language, style, and culture. He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. But underneath all of that, Tolkien does have an appealing and exciting story to tell, of war and succession and moral struggles--the same sort of story that has been found in our myths since the very earliest writings of man. His illuminating lectures on works such as the Old English epic poem, Beowulf, illustrate his deep knowledge of ancient languages and at the same time provide new insights into peoples and legends from a remote past. The dullards of fantasy have merely rehashed and reshuffled the old tropes back and forth, imagining that they are creating something.
