Beskrivelse
For the first time ever, a beautiful slipcased edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, illustrated throughout in colour by J.R.R. Tolkien himself, with the complete text printed in two colours and with many bonus features unique to this edition.
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.
This deluxe slipcased edition contains the complete text, which is printed in two colours and features, for the very first time, more than 50 colour paintings, illustrations and designs drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien himself as he composed this epic work.
Unique to this edition are two poster-size, fold-out maps revealing all the detail of Beleriand as the tales grew, an illustrated booklet featuring ‘A Brief Account of The Silmarillion and its Making’ by Christopher Tolkien, and a printed art card reproducing ‘Taniquetil’.
It is additionally quarterbound with raised ribs on the spine, stamped in three foils on black cloth boards, and housed in a custom-built clothbound slipcase. The pages are edged in silver and include a ribbon marker.

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 !!!
Helle G 24/05/2024
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
Anonym 08/03/2023
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.

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
