Week Six: A Rich Fantasy Life

Week Six: A Rich Fantasy Life

This week I got the chance to read "The Hobbit". Despite having watched the movie first, I really enjoyed this fantasy book. It is really easy to read, and moreso compared to the Lord of The Rings book. The Hobbit is a really relaxing read, and entertaining. It can be enjoyed by children and adults, since the way of writing is somewhat simple following the steps of J.K. Rowling.

Tolkien is really important in the world of the fantasy genre, since it pionnered a new style of content and writing. The Hobbit is really unique in the realm of world building, creating a world that allows the reader to really get absorbed by the beauty of these rich stories. But it never feels too much for the reader, because of how smart Tolkien presents every new element to us. 

This book is full of mystical creatures, which really trigger our imagination to unexpected places. From dwarves, to goblins, from wizards to elves, the Hobbit is by far a beautiful book that allow us to go on a journey with Bilbo to get back that stolen treasure, encountering creatures that will remain in our minds forever. 

One of the most interesting things about this book is that we can find our inner-Hobbit, or inner-child in it, despite our desire to have an easy, comfortable life, there is still always someone inside all of us that calls for adventure and journeys. That is one of the reasons why I think The Hobbit is such a memorable reading, because it touches your heart in a place where not most people are comfortable going, opening a topic that no one really wants to dive into, unless they are mentioned about it. The Hobbit awakens the inner-child you have inside, reminding you to enjoy the little adventures that life gives you and never lose that curiosity that makes life feel like a fantasy tale.
