Le Hobbit

De: J. R. R. Tolkien

Narrado por: Dominique Pinon

Premier récit publié par J. R. R. Tolkien, en 1937, cette histoire, inventée par l'auteur pour ses propres enfants, raconte les aventures de Bilbo, un jeune hobbit, héros malgré lui en quête d'un trésor gardé par un dragon, en compagnie de nains et du magicien Gandalf. Devenu un classique de la littérature de jeunesse, ce texte a également enchanté des générations de tous âges.

La lecture de Dominique Pinon ( Delicatessen, La Cité des enfants perdus, Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) insuffle toute sa vivacité à cette quête pleine d'enchantements.©1937/1965 The J.R.R.

Clear narration, not overly dramatized.

Would you listen to Le Hobbit again? Why?

Yes, the reader captures the tone of the story but leaves room for the listener's imagination.

Any additional comments?

A classic tale well rendered and enjoyable.

Great for Language Comprehension Practice

I like to listen to books in other languages for language practice.

This works best if it is a book that I have already listened to/read in English,
as then the material is more familiar.

For new languages, I will often try to listen to a book in parallel:
say, 15 minutes of English, then 15 minutes of the other languages, etc.
As of yet, there is a fairly limited selection of foreign language audiobooks available in the U.S. store, and an even smaller selection that are available in both English and a variety of other languages.

(And, for some reason, the Spanish ones seem often to be abridged, which makes them much less useful for this type of "rosetta stone" parallel listening practice.)

But it is slowly getting better.

Congratulations to Audible for slowly increasing its foreign language material,
and here is hoping that it will continue to do so.

And perhaps some books in Mandarin and Arabic also?

J'ai adoré ce classique

J'ai vraiment aimé ce livre. Le narrateur était vraiment super. Il m'a aidé à bien entrer dans l'histoire. Je le recommande à tous!

Good time with Dominic

Dominic Pinon bring you on the path of Bilbo with ease and great picture. Must be listen !

Pinon is Awesome!

Dude's got a great voice. I listen to this to learn French and it works great.

Good listen!

I enjoyed the performance and love the overall story. I have read and listened to this in Japanese German French and English and found this one the most entertaining. English is my native language.
I liked this French performance
more than several other well-known works from
different narrators.

Ce sont toujours mieux les livres que les films

L'histoire m'a, vraiment, impacté. j'ai aimé, spécialement, l'arrivée de la bande à la maison du change-peau. Notez que les trois films viennent d'une seule histoire, ça veut dire qu'il y a deux moments pleins d'action aux films que tu ne trouveras pas aussi fascinant dans ce livre.

wrong language

we like the story but I didn't notice this wasn't in English. totally my fault we didn't like it.
