Bilbo Baggins, a respectable, well-to-do hobbit, lives comfortably in his hobbit-hole until the day the wandering wizard Gandalf chooses him to take part in an adventure from which he may never return.
ErisofDiscord: Written by J.R.R. Tolkien's friend, C.S. Lewis. Although their styles of writing are very different, I have found both of them to be highly enjoyable and the quality of both of the authors books are unmatched.
DCBlack: Another quest tale of the reluctant hero who would rather be sitting in a comfy chair by the fireplace than getting mixed up in all sorts of adventures. Full of humor and whimsical charm.
DavidGoldsteen: If you like a quest story, here's the real deal. A Chinese classic first that first appeared as a novel over 500 years ago. Monkey is a lively, funny, exciting story.
PitcherBooks: While I enjoyed The Hobbit a bit more than the Elven, I like The Elven much more than the LOTR. I have yet to read the sequels but Elven had the feel of a fantasy classic to it. Time will tell...
Pros: Great world-building and characters, mostly action, adventure and magic with only the last tenth or so devoted to the obligatory war. Since I'm not big on wars this was a major plus.
Con: The Hobbit was shorter, more endearing and faster moving. Elven is a lengthy tome but the characters and adventures held my interest even so.… (mais)
ed.pendragon: Tolkien was very familiar with this work, certainly from the old translation by J Giles (which in turn probably influenced Tolkien's own Farmer Giles of Ham)
Aventura e fantasia na mais pura forma. Na maior parte uma história evidentemente voltada pra crianças, com todas as conveniências de uma, mas tiveram partes que ela foge disso, tipo quando se tratava de goblins e wargs... Mas talvez fosse pra enfatizar o quão ruins eles eram? ( )
Bilbo Bolseiro era um dos mais respeitáveis hobbits de todo o Condado até que, um dia, o mago Gandalf bate à sua porta. A partir de então, toda sua vida pacata e campestre soprando anéis de fumaça com seu belo cachimbo começa a mudar. Ele é convocado a participar de uma aventura por ninguém menos do que Thorin Escudo-de-Carvalho, um príncipe do poderoso povo dos Anãos. Esta jornada fará Bilbo, Gandalf e 13 anãos atravessarem a Terra-média, passando por inúmeros perigos, sejam eles, os imensos trols, as Montanhas Nevoentas infestadas de gobelins ou a muito antiga e misteriosa Trevamata, até chegarem (se conseguirem) na Montanha Solitária. Lá está um incalculável tesouro, mas há um porém. Deitado em cima dele está Smaug, o Dourado, um dragão malicioso que... bem, você terá que ler e descobrir. Lançado em 1937, O Hobbit é um divisor de águas na literatura fantástica mundial. Mais de 80 anos após a sua publicação, o livro que antecede os ocorridos em O Senhor dos Anéis continua arrebatando fãs de todas as idades, talvez pelo seu tom brincalhão com uma pitada de magia élfica, ou talvez porque J.R.R. Tolkien tenha escrito o melhor livro infanto-juvenil de todos os tempos.
O Hobbit é um livro a priori infantil, mas que agrada a criança dentro de qualquer um que ler. Diferente da série O Senhor dos Anéis, este é um livro de leitura leve e fluída. ( )
A finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls ... an exciting epic of travel and magical adventure, all working up to a devastating climax
Mucho menos pesado que el resto de libros del Señor de los Anillos, más facil de leer. Culmina las tres grandes obras del Señor de los anillos de Tolkien.

"Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!"
Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold.
This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.
It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him. Dragons may not have much real use for all their wealth, but they know it to an ounce as a rule, especially after long possession; and Smaug was no exception.
There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!
"And why not? Surely you don't disbelieve the prophecies just because you helped them come about. You don't really suppose do you that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck? Just for your sole benefit? You're a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I'm quite fond of you. But you are really just a little fellow, in a wide world after all."
His crown shall be upholden, His harp shall be restrung, His halls shall echo golden To songs of yore re-sung.
"What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid.
"What have I got in my pocket?"
"I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me!"
"Who are these miserable persons?"
"What has it got in its nasty, little pocketses?"

- Ainda bem! disse Bilbo, rindo, e ofereceu-lhe a vasilha de fumo.
