Dear literary, ehm, Hobbits..
first of all DO NOT FORGET about your current translation HW, deadline is Wednesday 23.59!
and now a little story:
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and
an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a
hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
This hobbit was a very well-to-do hobbit, and his name was Baggins. The Bagginses had lived in the
neighbourhood of The Hill for time out of mind, and people considered them very respectable, not only
because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything
unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say on any question without the bother of asking him.
This is a story of how a Baggins had an adventure, found himself doing and saying things altogether
unexpected. He may have lost the neighbours' respect, but he gained-well, you will see whether he
gained anything in the end:
The extract is from the 5th chapter of prof. JRR Tolkien's first book by the name of The Hobbit (1937)
OBSERVE:
see this movie
Award winning unofficial prequel to The Lord Of The Rings dramatising Aragorn & Gandalf's long search for Gollum directed by British filmmaker Chris Bouchard. Based faithfully on the appendices of the books this is a non-profit, serious homage to the writing of J.R.R Tolkien and the films of Peter Jackson. It was shot on locations in England and Snowdonia with a team of over a hundred people working over the Internet. It took two years to make and was released as a non-profit Internet-only video by agreement with Tolkien Enterprizes.
