The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
Dive into the enchanting realms of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Silmarillion,’ a literary masterpiece that unveils the mythic tapestry underpinning Middle-earth. With poetic prose and rich world-building, this collection of interconnected tales spans ages, weaving together the fates of Elves, Men, and Valar. Immerse yourself in the timeless themes of love, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. A captivating journey into the heart of Tolkien’s legendarium, ‘The Silmarillion’ stands as a testament to the enduring power of fantasy storytelling.
For the first time ever, a very special edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, illustrated throughout in color by J.R.R. Tolkien himself and with the complete text printed in two colors. The Silmarillion fills in the background which lies behind the more popular work, and gives the earlier history of Middle-earth, introducing some of the key characters.
The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashioned by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor. But the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within his iron crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth.
The Silmarillion is the history of the rebellion of Fëanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroism, against the great Enemy. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part.
