The Silmarillion

fullDescription

The forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion tells the earlier history of Middle-earth, recounting the events of the First and Second Ages, and introducing some of the key characters, such as Galadriel, Elrond, Elendil and the Dark Lord, Sauron. 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 Númenor 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.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: The unofficial yet undisputed voice of all things Tolkien, Andy Serkis, revels in bringing the early history of High Elves, Dark Lords, and powerful jewels to life. J.R.R. Tolkien was first and foremost an academic, and his detailed and expansive fantasy universe was hugely influenced by larger-than-life Norse sagas, classic myths, and Old English chronicles. Serkis is masterful at voicing and pronouncing THE SILMARILLION'S biblical-sounding rhythms and names, such as Akallab�th and Galadriel, which give Tolkien's world its underlying gravity. This volume includes a history of the "precious" 20 Rings of Power that attracted hobbits and humans alike. An entertaining listen for both serious and casual fans.
