The Silmarillion
is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, a work whose origins stretch back to a time long before
The Hobbit
. This mythopoetic masterpiece is a must-read for fans of
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
on Prime Video.
The story of the creation of the world and of the First Age, this 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 three Silmarils were jewels created by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves. Within them was imprisoned the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before the Trees themselves were destroyed by Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. Thereafter, the unsullied Light of Valinor lived on only in the Silmarils, but they were seized by Morgoth and set in his crown, which was guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth.
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 their heroism, against the great Enemy.
“Majestic! ... Readers of
and
will find in
a cosmology to call their own, medieval romances, fierce fairy tales, and fiercer wars that ring with heraldic fury... It overwhelms the reader.”—
