Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Hobbits and wizards and Sauron--oh, my! Mild-mannered Oxford scholar John Ronald Reuel Tolkien had little inkling when he published The Hobbit; Or, There and Back Again in 1937 that, once hobbits were unleashed upon the world, there would be no turning back. Hobbits are, of course, small, furry creatures who love nothing better than a leisurely life quite free from adventure. But in that first novel and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo and their elfish friends get swept up into a mighty conflict with the dragon Smaug, the dark lord Sauron (who owes much to proud Satan in Paradise Lost), the monstrous Gollum, the Cracks of Doom, and the awful power of the magical Ring. The four books' characters--good and evil--are recognizably human, and the realism is deepened by the magnificent detail of the vast parallel world Tolkien devised, inspired partly by his influential Anglo-Saxon scholarship and his Christian beliefs. (He disapproved of the relative sparseness of detail in the comparable allegorical fantasy his friend C.S. Lewis dreamed up in The Chronicles of Narnia, though he knew Lewis had spun a page-turning yarn.) It has been estimated that one-tenth of all paperbacks sold can trace their ancestry to J.R.R. Tolkien. But even if we had never gotten Robert Jordan's The Path of Daggers and the whole fantasy genre Tolkien inadvertently created by bringing the hobbits so richly to life, Tolkien's epic about the Ring would have left our world enhanced by enchantment. --Tim Appelo

Because of the way these books are printed, it can be very difficult to read if you don't have good lighting, since I have to try to open the book the most to read certain parts it has started to crack on the back and I just started reading a day ago. I guess for the price is not that bad (if you don't mind what I just said).

Reviewed in Mexico on August 28, 2022
Tenía curiosidad por leer la trilogía del Señor de los Anillos, el Hobbit ya lo había leído e incluso tenía otra edición. Esta edición por editorial DelRey es muy barata, la verdad es que me sorprendió el precio y cuando vi el paquete que incluía El Hobbit y los tres libros del Señor de los Anillos, no pude pasar la oportunidad.

Son libros pequeños, de bolsillo básicamente, útiles para llevarlos cargando a todos lados, solamente con uno de ellos tuve un problema de que al estarlo leyendo se le zafó la cubierta y tuve que arreglarlo, pero de ahí en más no tuve ningún problema con ellos. En cuanto al contenido de los libros, no sé cómo pude pasar tanto tiempo sin leer más obras de Tolkien, me declaro fanático perdido del autor, son maravilloso los libros, te logran transportar a su mundo y te hacen querer leer más, no por nada son considerados como obras maestras de la literatura de ficción, la aventura de Frodo y la Comunidad es dramática, divertida pero sobre todo se siente humana, hay algo de esperanza en ella y eso es lo emocionante del asunto, que por tanto que se vea perdida la situación, nuestros héroes logran triunfar.

Recomiendo ampliamente la compra de esta versión de los libros para quienes tengan la posibilidad de leerlos en inglés.
