Pages: 340 Language: Finnish. The Hobbit in Finnish. Illustrations by the famous Finnish writer and artist Tove Jansson. A great piece to have in one's collection. A gift idea for all Tolkien fans even those who do not read Finnish. In the year 1960, Tove Jansson was asked to make the illustrations for the new Swedish translation of J. R. R. Tolkien's book The Hobbit. The request came from the Swedish children's book author Astrid Lindgren, who at the time was publisher at Raben & Sj�gren. Tove Jansson was known world-wide as an author, illustrator, cartoonist and painter with an enormous production of her own, but she also illustrated the books of other appreciated authors. In her illustrations in "Bilbo - en hobbits �ventyr", Jansson concentrated on the landscapes, she was not as interested in the characters of the story. She even made some of the characters especially tiny to elevate the landscapes. The illustrations consisted more of her impression of the story than literal repetitions, which many Tolkien fans found unsatisfying. According to them, Jansson overlooked many of the central characteristics of the characters. This was one of the reasons why the book did not become so popular, even though the editor Astrid Lindgren had sensed that the book would be the children's book of the century. Paul Gravett writes in his new book about Tove Jansson: "Her Gollum towered monstrously large, to the surprise of Tolkien himself, who realized that he had never clarified Gollum's size and so amended the second edition to describe him as 'a small, slimy creature'". 9789510427927.

Synopsis

2017 on kulunut J. R. R. Tolkienin syntym�st� 125 vuotta ja Hobitin ilmestymisest� 80 vuotta. Tuplajuhlan kunniaksi Hobitti ilmestyy uutena laitoksena Tove Janssonin kuvittamana. 21. 9. 1937 julkaistiin Englannissa ensipainos Tolkienin fantasiaromaanista Hobitti. 23 vuotta my�hemmin Rab�n amp; Sj�grenin kustannustoimittaja Astrid Lindgren pyysi Muumi-kirjoillaan jo mainetta niitt�nytt� Tove Janssonia kuvittamaan Hobitin, josta oli tekeill� uusi ruotsinnos. Hobitin 80-vuotislaitos sis�lt�� Janssonin satumaiset kuvat alkuper�ispiirroksista suoraan kuvattuina ja aiemmin vain Hobitin ensimm�isess� suomennoksessa Lohik��rmevuori k�ytetyn kannen. Brian Sibley kertoo j�lkisanoissaan koko huikean tarinan siit�, kuinka Hobitin kuvitus toi yhteen kolme kirjallista j�ttil�ist� - J. R. R. Tolkienin, Astrid Lindgrenin ja Tove Janssonin. J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973) tunnetaan nykyaikaisen fantasiakirjallisuuden is�n�, jonka p��teoksia ovat Hobitti ja Taru Sormusten herrasta. Muumi-kirjoistaan kuulu Tove Jansson (1914-2001) kuvitti Tolkienin Hobitin lis�ksi mm. Lewis Carrollin Liisan seikkailut ihmemaassa. Brittikirjailija Brian Sibley (s. 1949) on dramatisoinut radiokuunnelman Tolkienin Sormusten herrasta ja oli 20 vuoden ajan kirjeenvaihdossa Tove Janssonin kanssa.
