Fascinating for Latin learners and for Tolkien fans of all ages,
The Hobbit has been translated into Latin for the first time since
its publication 75 years ago.
In foramine terrae habitabat hobbitus. ( In a hole in the
ground, there lived a hobbit. )
The Hobbit, is one of the world s most popular classic stories,
appealing to adults as much as to the children for whom J.R.R.
Tolkien first wrote the book. Translated worldwide into more than
60 modern languages, now Hobbitus Ille is finally published in
Latin, and will be of interest to all those who are studying the
language, whether at school or at a higher level.
In the great tradition of publishing famous children s books in
Latin, professional classicist and lifelong Tolkien fan Mark Walker
provides a deft translation of the entire book. His attention to
detail, including the transformation of Tolkien s songs and verses
into classical Latin metres, will fascinate and entertain readers
of all ability, even those with only a minimal acquaintance with
the language.
