"Lo hobbit" e il libro con cui Tolkien ha presentato per la prima volta, nel 1937, il foltissimo mondo mitologico del Signore degli Anelli, che ormai milioni di persone di ogni eta, sparse ovunque, conoscono in tutti i suoi minuti particolari. Tra i protagonisti di tale mondo sono gli hobbit, minuscoli esseri "dolci come il miele e resistenti come le radici di alberi secolari", timidi, capaci di "sparire veloci e silenziosi al sopraggiungere di persone indesiderate", con un'arte che sembra magica ma e "unicamente dovuta a un'abilita professionale che l'eredita, la pratica e un'amicizia molto intima con la terra hanno reso inimitabile da parte di razze piu grandi e goffe" quali gli uomini. Se non praticano la magia, gli Hobbit finiscono pero sempre in mezzo a feroci vicende magiche, come capita appunto a Bilbo Baggins, eroe quasi a dispetto di questa storia, che il grande "mago bianco" Gandalf coinvolgera in un'impresa apparentemente disperata: la riconquista del tesoro custodito dal drago Smog. Bilbo incontrera cosi ogni sorta di avventure, assieme ai tredici nani suoi compagni e a Gandalf, che appare e scompare, lasciando cadere come per caso le parole degli insegnamenti decisivi. E il ritrovamento, apparentemente casuale, di un anello magico, e il germe della grande saga che Tolkien proseguira nei tre libri del "Signore degli Anelli" illuminando nel suo durissimo senso un tema segreto de "Lo hobbit": cosa fare dell'Anello del Potere?

La prima volta che entra nella stanza in cui consumera i prossimi pasti, Rosa Sauer e affamata. "Da anni avevamo fame e paura", dice. Con lei ci sono altre nove donne di Gross-Partsch, un villaggio vicino alla Tana del Lupo, il quartier generale di Hitler nascosto nella foresta. È l'autunno del '43, Rosa e appena arrivata da Berlino per sfuggire ai bombardamenti ed e ospite dei suoceri mentre Gregor, suo marito, combatte sul fronte russo. Quando le SS ordinano: "Mangiate", davanti al piatto traboccante e la fame ad avere la meglio; subito dopo, pero, prevale la paura: le assaggiatrici devono restare un'ora sotto osservazione, affinche le guardie si accertino che il cibo da servire al Fuhrer non sia avvelenato. Nell'ambiente chiuso della mensa forzata, fra le giovani donne s'intrecciano alleanze, amicizie e rivalita sotterranee. Per le altre Rosa e la straniera: le e difficile ottenere benevolenza, eppure si sorprende a cercarla. Specialmente con Elfriede, la ragazza che si mostra piu ostile, la piu carismatica. Poi, nella primavera del '44, in caserma arriva il tenente Ziegler e instaura un clima di terrore. Mentre su tutti - come una sorta di divinita che non compare mai incombe il Fuhrer, fra Ziegler e Rosa si crea un legame inaudito.

Voyager Classics - timeless masterworks of science fiction and fantasy. The classic collection of robot stories from the master of the genre. In these stories Isaac Asimov creates the Three Laws of Robotics and ushers in the Robot Age. Earth is ruled by master-machines but the Three Laws of Robotics have been designed to ensure humans maintain the upper hand: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or allow a human being to come to harm2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. But what happens when a rogue robot's idea of what is good for society contravenes the Three Laws?
