Le Hobbit
5 stars
(6 reviews)
Le hobbit Bilbo Bessac mène une vie tranquille, sans grande ambition, s'aventurant rarement au-delà de son logis, à Cul-de-Sac. Son existence se trouve soudainement perturbée par l'arrivée du magicien Gandalf qui, accompagné de treize nains, l'entraîne dans un long et improbable périple en direction de la Montagne Solitaire. Ils ont en effet pour dessein d'aller dérober le trésor de Smaug le Puissant, un énorme et très dangereux dragon... Publié en 1937, ce récit - imaginé par J.R.R. Tolkien pour ses propres enfants - est très vite devenu un classique de la littérature de jeunesse. Cette édition, servie par une nouvelle traduction, enchantera les lecteurs de tous âges, les invitant à découvrir l'univers de la Terre du Milieu, toile de fond de la plupart des œuvres de J.R.R. Tolkien, notamment du Seigneur des Anneaux.

Very good

Content warning Spoilers
I was told that thin is a children’s book but it still took me a bit to fully realize it.
Some of the narration is very focused on children. Once I understood that, I really got to enjof the story. I was a bit confused when Smaug just left the Bilbo and dwarves but it made sense afterwards.
Overall, pretty good!

Un grand classique
5 stars
Dois-je vraiment présenter le Hobbit ? Grand classique qui se lit très facilement, aux allures de conte pour enfant. Un prérequis avant d'attaquer le Seigneur des Anneaux.

The timeless classic of the fantasy genre
5 stars
The Hobbit is the first of Tolkien's stories set in the Middle Earth... Actually this book needs no introduction as majority of people are probably aware of its existance and know how Tolkien pioneered the modern fantasy genre. However, it still holds strongly to this day. This epic story of a hobbit embarking on an unexpected journey with a team of dwarves and a wizard just really hooks you in and the world around is built with passion and full of surprises. I love it and now I understand why it's so praised by many.

Fantastic new audiobook edition
5 stars
It's been a couple of decades since I last read The Hobbit, but the story still holds up. This new audiobook edition is read by Andy Serkis (the actor who voiced and played Gollum, among many others). His voice acting is spectacular and really adds to the book. Highly recommended!
