Notes
The Hobbit, written by J.R.R. Tolkien, is a classic fantasy novel first published in 1937. The story follows Bilbo Baggins, a quiet, comfort-loving hobbit who lives in the peaceful Shire. His life takes an unexpected turn when the wizard Gandalf and a group of dwarves persuade him to join their adventure to reclaim a treasure guarded by the fearsome dragon Smaug. Over the course of the journey, Bilbo faces many dangers, including trolls, goblins, giant spiders, and the enigmatic Gollum, from whom he acquires the powerful One Ring.
The Hobbit is a prelude to Tolkien’s more famous Lord of the Rings trilogy, and while it’s lighter in tone and geared toward a younger audience, it introduces many of the themes, characters, and settings that would later be expanded upon in the epic saga. The novel is celebrated for its imaginative world-building, its rich use of language, and its ability to blend adventure, humor, and moral lessons. The Hobbit has had a lasting impact on the fantasy genre, influencing generations of writers and readers.
