One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place; and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Inspector Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty.

Aideen has plenty of problems she can’t fix. Her best (and only) friend is pulling away. Her mother’s drinking problem is a constant concern. She’s even running out of outlandish diseases to fake so she can skip PE. But when Aideen stumbles on her nemesis, overachiever Meabh Kowalski, in the midst of a full-blown meltdown, she sees a problem that—unlike her own disaster of a life—seems refreshingly easy to solve. Meabh is desperate to escape her crushing pile of extracurriculars. Aideen volunteers to help. By pushing Meabh down the stairs. Problem? Solved. Meabh’s sprained ankle is the perfect excuse to ditch her overwhelming schedule. But when another student learns about their little scheme and brings Aideen another “client” who needs her “help,” it kicks off a semester of traded favors, ill-advised hijinks, and an unexpected chance at love. Fixing other people’s problems won’t fix her own, but it might be the push she needs to start.

Orta Dünya Evreni’nde İyiler ve Kötüler Arasında Büyük Savaş Romanın ana kahramanı, Bilbo Baggins adıyla okur karşısına çıkar. Baggins, oldukça mutlu ve huzurlu yaşayan bir hobittir. Ta ki bir gün, ak sakallı ve uzun saçlı büyücü Gandalf ve cüceler kapısını çalana dek… Dağ yamacında yaşayan cüceler, kendilerinin tüm hazinesini alan ve savaşçı cücelerin de ölümüne neden olan Smaug isimli kötü kalpli bir ejderhayı yenmek istemektedirler. Bunun için ise tehlikeli bir dağa ulaşmaları gerekmektedir. Büyücü Gandalf ve cüceler, Bilbo Baggins’in de bu yolda kendilerine eşlik etmesini ister. Baggins hiç istemese de kendisini bu maceranın içerisinde bulur. Ejderhaya çıkan yolculuk elbette ki kolay olmayacaktır. Yol boyunca pek çok tehlike ile karşı karşıya gelen kahramanlar, Elfler ve Orklar gibi pek çok ırk ile savaşmak zorunda kalır. Onları tüm bu tehlikelerden kurtaran ise Gandalf olur. Bu esnada Baggins, içindeki maceraperest ruhu keşfeder ve gücünün farkına varır. Diğer taraftan yolculuğu tamamlayan ekip, sonunda ejderhanın bulunduğu dağın kapısını açmayı başarır. Ejderhanın koruduğu hazinenin içerisinde, her şeyden değerli bir taş bulunmaktadır. Bu taşı ele geçiren, gücü kendisinde bulacaktır. Ejderhadan taşın alınması görevi ise elbette ki Baggins’e verilir. Ancak bu görevi ejderhayı uyandırmadan yapamayan Baggins, ejderhanın sinirlenip başka bir köye saldırmasına neden olur. Usta bir ok hamlesi ile ejderhanın öldürülürken, çevre köylere dağın ve hazinenin sahipsiz kaldığı bilgisi ulaşır. Bu andan itibaren ekibi zorlu bir savaş bekleyecektir. Dağ, hazineler ve taş düşmanlardan korunabilecek midir? Bunları Biliyor muydunuz? Tolkien’in 1937’de kaleme aldığı bu eser, aslında çocuklar için yazıldı.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001).
