Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is an attempt to show what role required reading can play as a carrier of values in the literacy and cultural education of teenagers. This problem will be discussed on the example of fantasy novel The Hobbit or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien. Research on the reception of this book in Poland by contemporary teenagers and my experience with the discussed issues have motivated me to describe a few – interesting in my opinion – strategies for dealing with this novel in Polish language education in axiological terms.
