About this product

Product Information

Designed to take fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings deeper into the myths and legends of Middle-earth. The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's world. 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. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included in the book are several shorter works. The Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in The Lord of the Rings. This pivotal work features the revised, corrected text and includes, by way of an introduction, a fascinating letter written by Tolkien in 1951 in which he gives a full explanation of how he conceived the early Ages of Middle-earth.

    So imaginative but it reads like an Ancient Classic.

    An early critic of this book said, "it's like the Old Testament". And that pretty much sums up my view of it. The stories are not descriptive and there is no characterization at all. Deliberately, Tolkien has written a book of lore and in a style that cements its place as an essential, if difficult read. So many names, different lands and thousand year time scales make it a heavy though ultimately rewarding slog. You could run a marathon and spend less energy.

  • Good for value, but not great in general.

    Took about 2 and a half months to arrived. Book was slightly damaged, but it's not like I paid much for it anyway.
