The Hobbit

De: J. R. R. Tolkien

Narrado por: Andy Serkis

This brand-new unabridged audio book of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved The Hobbit is read by the BAFTA award-winning actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day, to whisk him away on a journey ‘there and back again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…

The prelude to THE LORD OF THE RINGS, THE HOBBIT has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Hobbit belongs to a very small class of books which have nothing in common save that each admits us to a world of its own. Its place is with Alice and The Wind in the Willows." (Times Literary Supplement)

"One of the best loved characters in English fiction...a marvellous fantasy adventure." (Daily Mail)

"Finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls...an exciting epic of travel, magical adventure, working up to a devastating climax." (The Observer)

Better than the movies

Andy Serkis did such a wonderful job at voicing everyone that the audiobook is more cinematic than the movies. Absolutely a wonderful classic

Breathtaking

I never thought a reader could come close to or even surpass Steven Fry who for me is the zenith in the art of reading but I must say after 10 minutes I could not put the book away…Andy Serkis is an absolute gem and the book is fantastic. Thank you for such a wonderful masterpiece read so skillfully .
