Where Does the Hobbit There and Back Again Movie Start in the Book
The Hobbit is the get-go published novel by J.R.R. Tolkien set in Eye-earth. The volume was first published on September 21, 1937 and is set in the years 2941 to 2942 of the Third Historic period before the events of The Lord of the Rings.[1] Initially intended as a standalone story for children, it was later realigned more into the Middle-earth legendarium by 1951, when a revised edition was released.
Background
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit (likewise as the first ii books of The Lord of the Rings) during his time as a Fellow and Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Pembroke College of the University of Oxford in England.[2] Tolkien recollected in a 1955 alphabetic character to W.H. Auden[3] that The Hobbit began in the belatedly 1920s when he was marking School Document papers and wrote the words "In a pigsty in the ground, there lived a hobbit" on the dorsum of i of them. The Hobbit didn't go any further than that at the time, although in the post-obit years he drew up Thrór'due south Map, outlining the geography of the tale. The story itself he wrote in the early 1930s, and it was eventually published because he lent it to the Rev. Female parent of Cherwell Edge when she was ill with the flu, and while she had the manuscript it was seen past a onetime student who was employed in the office of Allen & Unwin, a British publishing firm.

Tolkien introduced or mentioned characters and places that figured prominently in his legendarium, specifically Elrond and Gondolin, along with elements from Germanic legend. But the determination that the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings could vest to the same universe as The Silmarillion was made only after his initial success and the asking past his publisher for a sequel.
Although a fairy tale, the book is both complex and sophisticated: information technology contains many names and words derived from Norse mythology, and primal plot elements from the Beowulf ballsy, it makes apply of Anglo-Saxon runes, information on calendars and moon phases, and detailed geographical descriptions that fit well with the accompanying maps.
Story
Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, was smoking in his porch-style at Bag End i day, when Gandalf the Sorcerer visits him. After a lengthy discussion, during which Bilbo uses the phrase "Good Morn" several times, Bilbo finds himself flustered. He invites Gandalf to tea, and goes back inside his Hobbit-pigsty with a concluding "Practiced Morning". Gandalf carves a underground mark on Bilbo'due south front end door, which translated means "Burglar wants a proficient job, plenty of excitement and reasonable reward." Soon subsequently, 13 Dwarves (Thorin II Oakenshield, Glóin, Óin, Ori, Nori, Dori, Dwalin, Balin, Fíli and Kíli, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur) show up and begin rudely discussing their planned treasure hunt while the hapless Bilbo provides the obligatory hospitality. Later the Dwarves and Bilbo clean upwardly the mess, a map is produced and Gandalf arranges for Bilbo to get the job — as well as to break the unlucky number 13. The company'due south quest: Employ a undercover door to become into the Lonely Mount, send forth their burglar to steal as much of the riches within its halls as is possible, and give a recon report, and so have everyone impale the dragon Smaug, to become rich again.
The next morn, after oversleeping and near missing the start of the journey, Bilbo goes off with the Dwarves. They are nearly eaten by three trolls, Tom, Bert, and William, but Gandalf manages to fob the trolls into staying upwardly all nighttime whereupon they are turned into stone by the first light of dawn and die (the rock trolls announced later in The Fellowship of the Ring). In the trolls' cave they detect the trolls' storage of supplies, including several weapons. Bilbo acquires an Elvish short sword which he volition later proper name Sting, which glows bluish in the presence of goblins. Thorin acquires Orcrist, and Gandalf acquires Glamdring.
The party travels to Rivendell, where they enjoy the hospitality of Elves. At that place, Elrond finds Moon-letters on the company's map of the mountain, giving information about a secret door on its side. They then keep eastward toward the Misty Mountains. There they are captured by goblins, and carried to Goblin-town. They run away, and during the escape Bilbo loses the Dwarves. Alone in the nighttime subsequently running away from the goblins, Bilbo finds a gold band on the floor of a cave passage and puts it in his pocket. Little did he know that this was the One Band lost by Sauron centuries ago.
Continuing down a tunnel, he finds himself at the shore of an underground lake. Gollum quietly paddles up in his boat, and the 2 enact the Riddle Game, under the condition that if Bilbo wins, Gollum will evidence him the way out, but if Bilbo loses, Gollum will eat him. Later several riddles, which each manages to respond, Bilbo, whilst fiddling in his pocket unable to think of a riddle, asks himself aloud "What accept I got in my pocket?". Gollum thinks this is supposed to be the next riddle, and as it doesn't comply with the rules of the riddle game, demands three guesses; in the end he fails to guess the answer. Bilbo demands his reward, but Gollum refuses and paddles off in his boat to an island in the lake, upon which he lives. After searching effectually for a while asking aloud "Where is information technology? Where's my precious!?" to which Bilbo replies, "I don't know and I don't care. I just want to leave of here", Gollum becomes suspicious, gets in his boat, and starts paddling back across the lake towards Bilbo. Bilbo realizes his life is in danger and makes his escape downwardly the maze of pitch-blackness tunnels, and Gollum gives chase. Bilbo trips, and finds the ring on his finger. Realizing he has no risk to escape his pursuer, he stays where he is and prepares to see his fate, but Gollum runs correct over him. Bilbo realizes the Ring, while on his finger, makes him invisible. He manages to escape past Gollum, who has gone to baby-sit the only exit, and finds his mode to the surface where he rejoins the Dwarves.
Descending from the Misty Mountains, they survive an encounter with Wargs (large evil wolves) and goblins by climbing copse. Eagles, summoned by Gandalf, so came to rescue them. They soon run across Beorn, a man who tin transform into a comport. They depart, having rested for several days. Gandalf leaves shortly on an errand. The political party traverses the great forest, Mirkwood, eventually running out of supplies. Gandalf had warned them not to go out the path, only they saw burn and heard singing, so, hopeless, they leave the path to beg food from Forest-elves, only to get lost. They are captured by giant spiders, simply Bilbo rescues the Dwarves by condign invisible via the Ring and killing many spiders with Sting and rocks. Elves then capture the Dwarves and imprison them, but Bilbo manages to sneak into the Elvenking Thranduil's palace unnoticed using the Band; he then helps the Dwarves escape in barrels floating down the river.
After staying for a short flow of time at Lake-boondocks, the treasure-seekers proceed to the Lonely Mountain. Finding themselves unable to locate the hush-hush door, the company sits down, depressed, on a cliff. Hearing a Thrush knocking on a stone, Bilbo looks up just in fourth dimension to encounter the last rays of the Sun of Durin'due south Twenty-four hour period, shining on the cliff wall, to magically reveal the surreptitious door (equally was foretold by moon-messages upon a map that the company was in possession of). Bilbo is sent down to meet Smaug, the dragon, who realized the Company received help from the people of Lake-boondocks, and sets out to destroy information technology. However, the Thrush that had been knocking on the stone was no ordinary bird but of an ancient race with whom the men of Dale could communicate, and it had heard Bilbo's report to the Dwarves; that Smaug had a bare patch in his armor on the left side of his chest (nearest his middle) that could be used to slaughter him, if only you could get close enough. It conveyed this message to i Bard the Bowman, who seeing the bare patch on the breast of Smaug, dispatched the dragon with a unmarried Black Arrow, thus assuasive the party of Dwarves to take possession of the treasure.
The citizens of Lake-town arrive to make historical claims and demand bounty for the help they had rendered, as well every bit reparations for damage Smaug inflicted during his attack. They're joined past the Elves, who also demand a share based on historical claims. The Dwarves refuse all negotiations and in plough summon kin from the mountains to strengthen their position. Seeing no other way to avoid a war, Bilbo uses the Band to steal the prized Arkenstone from the Dwarves, which he uses to broker peace.
Just equally a grudging truce is agreed to, the three armies at the Lonely Mountain (Elves, Men, and Dwarves) are attacked past Goblins and Wargs from the Misty Mountains. A biting battle ensues (named the Battle of Five Armies). Though suffering heavy losses, Elves, Men, and Dwarves prevail with the help of the Eagles. The treasure is apportioned. Bilbo refuses well-nigh of the riches, realizing he has no fashion to bring them back habitation; he even so takes enough with him to make himself a wealthy hobbit and live happily thereafter, unaware of the dangerous nature of his Ring, which he places in a drinking glass case on his drape.

Development and influences
Original version
In the initial edition of the novel, Gollum willingly bets his magic ring on the outcome of the riddle game. During the writing of The Lord of the Rings Tolkien saw the need to revise this passage, in order to reflect the concept of the I Ring and its powerful hold on Gollum. Tolkien tried many different passages in the chapter that would become affiliate two of The Lord of the Rings, "The Shadow of the Past". Eventually Tolkien decided a rewrite of was in order, and he sent a sample chapter of this rewrite ("Riddles In The Dark") to his publishers. Initially he heard zero farther, just when he was sent galley proofs of a new edition he learned to his surprise the new affiliate had been incorporated as the result of a misunderstanding.
Tolkien explained the two different versions in the introduction of The Lord of the Rings, as well as within "The Shadow of the Past", as a "lie" that Bilbo made upward, probably because of the Ane Band's influence on him, and which he originally wrote down in his volume. Inside The Lord of the Rings, Bilbo finally confesses the existent story at the Council of Elrond, although Gandalf had deduced the truth earlier. As Tolkien presented himself as the translator of the supposedly historic Red Volume of Westmarch, where Bilbo and Frodo's stories were recorded, he farther explained the two differing stories in The Hobbit by stating he had originally used Bilbo's original story, but later re-translated the work with the "true story" recorded past Frodo.
This first edition also mentions "gnomes", an earlier word Tolkien used to refer to the second kindred of the High Elves — the Ñoldor (or "Deep Elves"). Tolkien idea that "gnome", being derived from the Greek gnosis (knowledge), was a adept name for the Ñoldor he created to exist the wisest of the other Elves. However, because of its English connotations of a pocket-size, secretive, and unattractive creature (see garden gnome), Tolkien removed it from afterward editions. He made other minor changes in guild to suit the narrative to events in The Lord of the Rings and in the ideas he was developing for the Quenta Silmarillion.
There are some facets of the story that are incongruent with the fantasy setting of The Lord of the Rings, and can seem anachronistic:
- The Trolls accept English first and last names.
- In that location are uses of traditional "magic": when Bilbo tries to steal a bag from the Trolls, the bag shouts.
- Elves appear as either comical mischiefs (in Rivendell) or as chiefly hostile (in Mirkwood).
- Gandalf refers to Radagast as "his cousin" despite that Maiar are not said to have been familial.
- The Orcs pictured in The Hobbit seem allied neither to the Necromancer (Sauron) nor to Saruman, and instead have a simple hostility towards all Free Peoples.
- References to "fairies" and "ogres" are included.
- Linguistic communication used in the text concerning the Ring reflected Bilbo'due south lack of knowledge most it, as he was meant to be the author of the story.
Similarities to Beowulf
During his time equally a professor at the Academy of Oxford Tolkien studied Anglo-Saxon. One of the Anglo-Saxon pieces of literature he studied is the ballsy poem Beowulf, nearly which he wrote essays such as The Monsters and the Critics. Interesting parallels can be plant between The Hobbit and Beowulf.
The plots of the ii stories are very like. In both of them a party of 13 sets out to seek satisfaction for a offense committed by a dragon. Both parties incorporate a thief, which in The Hobbit is Bilbo, who steals a cup from the sleeping dragon's hoard by using a secret passage. Both dragons then awake from their deep sleep and crusade terror and destruction. Both dragons are well protected by their armour, a natural ane in Beowulf and one fabricated of gilt and diamonds in The Hobbit, but finally they are killed. Both stories stop or almost end with a fight with a dragon.
Merely not only the plots share similarities: both main characters, Bilbo and Beowulf, share characteristics. Both heroes defy their enemies with their supernatural ability, which in Bilbo'south example is the Ring and in Beowulf'south case is his supernatural strength. While Beowulf has the help of God, Bilbo oft prevails because of his sheer luck. Both are of noble ancestry and both get separated from their group, Bilbo in the mountains, Beowulf when he travels down to the lair of Grendel's female parent in order to impale her.
Additionally some elements of Anglo-Saxon culture can be found. In both books a male monarch, which in Anglo-Saxon sometimes is called ring or gold giver, awards his warriors with treasures and war gear. In Anglo-Saxon culture poems are important, equally they contain the people's history and they are sung by scops. Two of these songs are found in Beowulf and more in The Hobbit. The Anglo-Saxon society was ane of warriors and Tolkien'south Dwarves are shut to this culture. They are warriors and like Anglo-Saxons they value jewellery and war gear.
Editions
One of the many covers of The Hobbit
George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. of London published the first edition of The Hobbit in September 1937. It was illustrated with many black-and-white drawings by Tolkien himself. The original illustrations would be color plates. Allen & Unwin decided to incorporate the color illustrations into their 2d printing, released at the end of 1937. Despite the book'southward popularity, wartime weather forced the London publisher to print small runs of the remaining two printings of the first edition.
As remarked higher up, Tolkien substantially revised the text describing Bilbo's dealings with Gollum in order to blend the story ameliorate into what The Lord of the Rings had become. This revision became the second edition, published in 1951 in both UK and American editions. Slight corrections to the text have appeared in the third (1966) and 4th editions (1978).
New English-language editions of The Hobbit spring upward oft, despite the book's age, with at least l editions having been published to date. Each comes from a unlike publisher or bears distinctive cover art, internal art, or substantial changes in format. The text of each more often than not adheres to the Allen & Unwin edition extant at the time it is published.
The remarkable and enduring popularity of The Hobbit expresses itself in the collectors' market place. The first press of the first English language linguistic communication edition rarely sells for under U.S. $10,000 in any whole status, and clean copies in original dust jackets signed by the author are routinely advertised for over $100,000.
