Bhí gnaoi an phobail riamh leis an sárscéal fantasaíochta seo faoi hobad darb ainm Biolbó Baigín agus é á sciobadh chun siúil gan choinne ar eachtra fhada in éineacht le Gandalf Draoi agus le trí abhac déag. Is scéal An Hobad faoi thuras a dhéanann Biolbó i gcuideachta na n-abhac le teacht ar thaisce ór a bhfuil dragan i seilbh uirthi. In aghaidh a thola ar dtús a ghlacann Biolbó Baigín páirt sa tóraíocht chontúirteach, mar is hobad gan uaillmhian é, atá an-tugtha do chompord an tsaoil. I ndeireadh na dála, áfach, cuireann sé iontas air féin lena sheiftiúlacht agus lena scil amhail buirgléir. I measc eachtraí eile buaileann Biolbó le troill, le púcaí, le habhaic, le heilbh agus le damháin alla ollmhóra, déanann sé comhrá le Smóg Dragan, agus bíonn sé i láthair go han-drogallach ag Cath na gCúig Arm. Tá Biolbó Baigín le háireamh i measc laochra neamhbhásmhara litríocht na bpáistí. Is dá pháistí féin a scríobh an tOllamh Tolkien an scéal an chéad lá agus bhain an bunleagan Béarla cáil dhomhanda amach a thúisce is a foilsíodh é. Anois tá leagan Gaeilge le fáil den chéad uair riamh in aistriúchán den scoth leis an Ollamh Nicholas Williams. Feicfear sa leabhar na pictiúir agus na léirscáileanna uile a rinne an t-údar féin. --- The beloved fantasy classic for readers of all ages, about a hobbit called Bilbo Baggins who is whisked off on an unexpected journey by Gandalf the wizard and a company of thirteen dwarves. The Hobbit is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when published. Now the book is available for the first time in Irish, in a superb translation by Professor Nicholas Williams. The book includes all the drawings and maps by the author.
Mi decidis relegi la Hobiton post spekti la filmojn antaŭ kelkaj semajnoj. La filmoj ja estas tre malbonaj — tro longaj, kaj precipe faritaj por tiuj kiuj ĝuis la filmojn La Majstro de l' Ringoj sed neniam legis la librojn. Mi simple deziris alitipan filmon en la etoso de la libro.
Relegi ĝin en Esperanto antaŭ rememoris min pri kiom al mi mankis tiu lingvo. Jam pasis pli ol dek jaroj ekde mi lastatempe legis aŭ parolis ĝin. Komence legis mi malrapide, sed post nelonge sukcesis retrovi pli rapidan legoritmon.
Ankaŭ la rakonto estas bona (sed eble iom simpla, kiel taŭgas por infanlibro). Mi kredas ke mia sepjaraĝa filino ŝatus ĝin se ŝi akceptus ke mi laŭtlegus por ŝi!
This book is so fantastic, and the narrator Andy Serkis knocked it out of the park.

I read this for the first time several years ago, it was the start of my love of reading as an adult.
This time around, I listened to the audiobook and it was even better than the ebook I read.
The story is simple but amazing. Each chapter flows into the next with excitement lurking around every corner. Watching Bilbo become the hobbit he is destined to be is so enjoyable. Some of it is a little silly and a little dated, but it is a midgrade book from the 1930’s so it gets a big pass.
I forgot how many songs there were in the book, but thankfully the narrator did them justice and made them really enjoyable.
My favorite scene is still the …

My favorite scene is still the spider fight in the forest.
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!
