1977 JRR Tolkien 1st ed
Silmarillion Lord of the Rings Middle Earth + MAP
“The Silmarillion,” written by J.R.R.
Tolkien, is a collection of interconnected mythological and historical stories
set in the fictional world of Middle-Earth. The book serves as a prequel to
Tolkien’s beloved works “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.”
It outlines the creation of Middle-earth, its gods, and the early history of
its peoples, including Elves, Dwarves, and Men.
“The Silmarillion” primarily focuses
on the story of the Silmarils, three powerful gems created by the Elf Fëanor,
which become the center of a long and bitter struggle between the forces of
good and evil. The book contains several other tales, such as the tragic love
story of Beren and Lúthien and the fall of the great Elven city of Gondolin.
Through these stories, Tolkien explores themes of heroism, fate, and the
struggle against darkness.
Although dense and complex in its
world-building, the book is a rich and rewarding read for fans of Tolkien’s
universe, providing a deeper understanding of the history and context that
shaped the events in his later works. Lastly, it features a large folding map
of Middle-Earth, an incredible inclusion by Tolkien himself.
