The Hobbit

The Hobbit is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves (enanos) , in search of gold guarded by a dragon called Smaug. A reluctant partner (socio) in this dangerous search is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving, unambitious hobbit. Encounters ( encuentro, especialmente por casualidad) with trolls (gnomo)  goblins (duendes) , dwarves , elves (elfos) and giant spiders,conversations with the dragon and the presence at the Battle of the Five Armies are some of the adventures that happen to Bilbo. But there are lighter moments as well: good fellowship (compañerismo) , meals, laughter and song.

First published in September 1937, the Hobbit was originally written by Professor Tolkien for his own children. It was immediately successful when published and forms a prelude to "The Lord Of The Rings".
The first part of the long-awaited film directed by Peter Jackson will be released in December 2012 . Don't miss it !

Meanwhile,enjoy the trailer (subtitles in Spanish)!
