Beskrivelse

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, illustrated throughout in colour by J.R.R. Tolkien himself and with the complete text printed in two colours.

The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashioned by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor. But the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within his iron crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth.

The Silmarillion 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 the heroism, against the great Enemy. 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 book also includes several shorter works: the Ainulindalë, a myth of the Creation, and the Valaquenta, in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth 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.

Tolkien could not publish The Silmarillion in his lifetime, as it grew with him, so he would leave it to his son, Christopher Tolkien, to edit the work from many manuscripts and bring his father’s great vision to publishable form, so completing the literary achievement of a lifetime. This special edition presents anew this seminal first step towards mapping out the posthumous publishing of Middle-earth, and the beginning of an illustrious forty years and more than twenty books celebrating his father’s legacy.

This definitive new edition includes, by way of an introduction, a letter written by Tolkien in 1951 which provides a brilliant exposition of the earlier Ages, and for the first time in its history is presented with J.R.R. Tolkien’s own paintings and drawings, which reveal the breathtaking grandeur and beauty of his vision of the First Age of Middle-earth.

    Fantastisk oplæser

    Anita H 11/09/2024

    Det er SIMPELTHEN for ringe af jer -SAXO- at skrive ukendt oplæser i texten på denne big. Oplæseren er Andy Serkis, altså “Gollum”. Sløset arbejde af jer !!!

    god indlæsning af et klassisk værk

    Johan Henrik K 13/02/2024

    hel fantastisk og engagerende historie læst foørrygende godt af den inspirerende Andy Serkis, der tydeligvis nyder at udtale de mange skønne navne og som med et stort overskud fortæller de vidunderlige historier

    Mangler bare den danske udgave

    Helene R 29/05/2023

    lidt for nørdet til min smag, og ikke nær så spændende som hobbitten og ringenes herre, men ellers fejler historierne ikke noget

    Nu må det da være på tide at den kommer som lydbog på dansk

    Charlotte P 27/02/2023

    Ville være rart den var på dansk.

    Annette H 04/11/2016

    Jeg har købt CD-udgaven, da e-bogen er meget uden sammenhæng i kapitlerne. Men når jeg nu hører/læser den er den spændene og den kræver fuld koncentration i forhold til alle navne
