A summary of the children's book The Hobbit Author: J. R. R. Tolkien

I began to read the hobbit with not too many expectations, and although it was true that I had never read anything of Tolkien I have to admit that this book, i loved it, which has exceeded all the expectations that I had in mind and that has nothing to do with a heavy reading that you would not believe me to be on the world of the dwarves, hobbits and elves. The Hobbit is a book with lots of action and great characters, the story is about a little big adventure.

It is a book written for children, a children's book that is not anything heavy or boring. The story flows easily and has nothing to do with the movie. Therefore, it is a pleasant read, although everything there is to extrapolate to the time that is written. History is a very quick read, which pours out imagination and that is addictive, it is not (as I call it) a thick book of descriptions, or recreates in little things important to the history.

In addition, it is a book that not only wasted imagination for to make people forget his own world, but has many thoughts about the ambition, the evil, the courage and the greed. A very complete book.

The Hobbit Bilbol Bolsón lives in his quiet Hobbit hole, in the County when a morning appears to him a wizard Gandalf, although Bilbo doesn’t know him, he invites him to go to his house to tea the next day.

The next day thirteen dwarves visit the home of Bilbo, after them falls Galdalf and presents to the dwarves, the leader of them is Thorin Oak Shield, which want to recover the treasure that the dragon Smaug had stolen from their forefathers Thor and Thrain years ago.

For recall must be based on the solitary mountain on a dangerous adventure. Bilbo hates the adventures, but finally access go with them.

After a long walk they arrive to Rivendell, there are hosted at home of the rich elf Elrond, he translates a map that indicates how to enter into the den of Smaug through a secret door.

After two weeks in the house of Elrond, the group part toward the cloud-shrouded mountains, there take refuge in a cave, but are captured by a few goblins and lose their entire team and after a battle in which the great Goblin is killed, Bilbo and the dwarves escaped through the tunnels in the cave while they are persecuted, but Bilbo falls by a large crack.

When Bilbo wakes up, he realized that is located in a dark swamp, and he found a ring, then a dirty creature tries to kill him, but Bilbo discovers that the ring makes invisible the one who carrier it and in this way he escape and meet again with the dwarves and Gandalf.

Subsequently a herd of wolves almost kill the, but there is suddenly, a big eagles who know Gandalf and Bilbo, and they save them.

Then stay at home of Beorn, which is a woodsman that is transformed into bear, and after going there a couple of days, this they get new ponies and food to continue with the trip. Then Gandalf leaving for another site and saying goodbye to Bilbo and the dwarves.

Después unos cinco días de muchos problemas y luchas, atraviesan el Bosque Negro, pero Thorin es capturado y encarcelado por unos elfos, y poco después lo mismo ocurre con el resto de enanos, pero Bilbo se pone el anillo para que no le vean, y entra al castillo donde consigue liberar a los enanos y llegar así a la Ciudad del Lago, una ciudad que está habitada por hombres.

El gobernador de la ciudad proporciona alimentos y alojamiento a los enanos, los cuales ya se encuentran cerca de la Montaña Solitaria en la cual vive Smaug. Tras pasar una quincena en la Ciudad del Lago, deciden partir hacia la cueva de Smaug en la montaña.

Después de navegar durante tres días, desembarcan en la orilla junto a la montaña y al día siguiente comienzan la escalada. Después de llegar a la altura apropiada, comienzan a buscar la entrada secreta que Elrond les había mostrado en el mapa. Al final de buscar mucho, Bilbo encuentra la entrada secreta.

Bilbo es el único que se atreve a entrar (y que cabe) y con el anillo puesto entra en la sala en la que Smaug está dormido, y le roba una gran copa para mostrársela a los enanos, después vuelve a entrar aún invisible, pero el dragón, que le había oído, empieza hablar con él
