Title:

TITLES AND INCIPITS AS LITERARY APPETIZERS: THREE ROMANIAN VERSIONS OF TOLKIEN’S HOBBIT, OR THREE FACES OF AN INTERFACE

Language of Publication:

English

Abstract:

This paper aims to analyse a series of (sub)titles and incipits as interfaces with the (young) readers and as literary ‘appetizers’ likely to stimulate them to continue reading. Our case in point is J. R. R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit, or There and Back Again” in Romanian translation (with a particular focus on three versions published in 1975, 1995, and 2012 respectively).
