10 years later: hong kong’s umbrella revolution.
In 2014, Hong Kong protesters used umbrellas as a form of passive resistance to the city police’s use of tear gas and pepper spray as they demanded a more transparent election. The protest movement was known as the “Umbrella Revolution.” 10 years later, five Hong Kongers reflect on their roles during the protests, and how their lives have changed after Beijing’s crackdowns.

The Hobbit is a high fantasy novel that was published in 1973 and follows the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, and a group of dwarves. The party sets out to retake the dwarves home, The Lonely Mountain, from Smaug the dragon who is currently in possession of their treasure.
The Hobbit is a fictional fantasy book appropriate for 10+ ages. The Hobbit follows the story of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, who is on a journey to steal back the magnificent treasures of the dragon Smaug.
So I wanted to talk about The Hobbit, this amazing book written by Tolkien, who (if I remember correctly) is considered the "founder" of modern fantasy genre. And I love fantasy literature. Watch out for spoilers if you haven't finished it!
This book is a classic of the fantasy genre, and the perfect introduction to The Lord of the Rings, as well as the rest of Tolkien’s Legendarium. Don’t skip over this when diving into Tolkien’s work – it’s one his best.
In this review of The Hobbit, we will explore the captivating journey of Bilbo and his companions to reclaim treasure from the dragon, Smaug.
The Hobbit: plot summary. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit (a species of small creature which Tolkien invented) who lives in Bag End, in the rural loveliness of The Shire. The wizard Gandalf turns up one day, accompanied by thirteen dwarves, who are on a mission to reclaim their gold, as well as their kingdom, from beneath the Lonely Mountain.

There may be many great children’s novel but one that takes the throne for me is The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Everything from the world building to the adventure style of the novel make it a great read. And the great characters that have stayed with us since the book was first released in 1937.
The Hobbit, Or There and Back Again, is a children’s fantasy novel that has been enjoyed by a wide variety of readers of all ages. It was published in 1937 to wide acclaim and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
Set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature's most enduring and well-loved novels. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar.
