Biblioventures: The Hobbit Ep 4: Ch 5 Riddles in the Dark

Edward G. Pettit with cohost Graeme Cheadle Bios on our webpage: https://www.rosenbach.org/programs/bi... Separated from the dwarves in the deep tunnels of the mountain, Bilbo finds an insignificant piece of jewelry, then encounters a friendly creature who challenges him to a riddle game. Wait . . . what? That describes the very first published account of this chapter, which Tolkien would go on to revise and republish before The Lord of the Rings was released to the world. We’ll look at both versions of this most important chapter. You can find the original at our webpage: Riddles in the Dark Original Version: https://static1.squarespace.com/stati... Music by Pleated Gazelle Artwork and Credits by Scott Banks Inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien https://www.rosenbach.org/programs/bi... We’re going on a Biblioventure to Middle-Earth with J.R.R. Tolkien’s first fantasy novel, The Hobbit. First conceived as a story Tolkien told to his own children, then published in 1937, The Hobbit isn’t your ordinary children’s book. Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and the dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, go on a quest to recover the treasure stolen by the dragon Smaug. Along the way they encounter trolls, goblins, elves, and other fantastic creatures. However, through it all, Tolkien has weaved a thousand years of language, lore, and literature. We’ll explore the deep roots of the mythic tales that inspired Tolkien’s work and examine how the novel fits into the broader Middle-Earth legendarium the author created over many years. Host Edward G. Pettit and a rotating group of Tolkienian cohosts will have our usual Biblioventures “conversational annotation” each week, chapter by chapter, providing context and insight about the author, the characters, and this brilliantly conceived fantasy story. And we’ll have fun as we travel there and back again along the road with Bilbo. So, pack your pipeweed and pocket handkerchiefs and join us in Middle Earth! (While The Hobbit certainly appeals to children, this will not be a children’s show. It will feature grown-ups talking about the book and we can’t guarantee that the conversation will always be for all ears. And hobbits love to smoke and drink. Every week will also feature specialty drinks inspired by the chapters and as much pipe smoking as the host can do in the given time.)  Donate to the Rosenbach https://www.rosenbach.org/give Become a Rosenbach member https://www.rosenbach.org/become-a-me...
