Moving into Chapter 6 of The Hobbit, we find our hero Mr. Baggins/M. Baggins/Herr Beutlin emerging out of the Misty Mountains–with a magic ring on! Also, as an epilogue to the previous chapter, I must note that German!Gollum using “mein Schatz” for “my precious” is deeply giggle-inducing for me given that I associate that phrase…

When last we left our burglar, he’d just wondered what, exactly, he has in his pockets!

Picking up where I left off in Chapter 5, with the introduction of Gollum!

I am so, SO overdue to continue this that it’s not even funny! But since I definitely want to get this done before An Unexpected Journey comes out in December, and because my language geekery is wanting the love, let’s dive into Chapter 5, shall we? Bring on the riddles in the dark! This won’t…

And here is the rest of Chapter 4 of my Tri-lingual Hobbit Re-read! And ooh, now that I’m done with Chapter 4, Chapter 5 will bring Gollum! FUN!

It’s been several weekends since I last checked in on this, but here you go, O Internets! The first bit of Chapter 4 of my tri-lingual reread of The Hobbit!

My pace on this has, unsurprisingly, slowed now that I’m back at work! But I think a chapter a weekend will do me for a while. Here then is chapter 3!

Picking up where I left off in Chapter 2 of The Hobbit, the award for “next idiom found” goes to the German edition!
