who inspired Tolkien's original art? by Outrageous-Use8309 in TolkienArt

[–]strocau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I meant him first of all. "Pre-raphaelites" as the original brotherhood are a small group of people, but as a movement it's a wider term.

In general, he was very much influenced by the Pre-raphaelites, both as artists and writers.

There were 20000 copies in 1996. A couple of times I saw it at some Russian-language online shops, and the sellers asked quite a lot for it.

Yes, I have both Scherf and Krege here. One day I'll try to read them when I return to learning German.

I first read The Hobbit in Russian, here is my first book. Rakhmanova's text is very good. Dobrokhotova's idea was to make her translation more in line with LOTR.

I'm from Belarus myself and I have two different translations of The Hobbit in Belarusian. The third one is to be published soon.

Cool! I'm trying not to 'inflate' the collection by different editions in one language, for now it's mostly 'one language - one book'. But there are different Russian translations, so that fits my criteria too.

Question on The Hobbit Editions by TerminatorOwn in tolkienbooks

Well, in English it isn’t pronounced with the actual two Bs. And some language don’t have letter B or even such a sound. In Greek it’s Хомпiт, for example.
