Аннотация
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 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.
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.
