Tolkien's Silmarillion begins with the creation of the world through the music of the Ainur, set by the one god Eru Ilúvatar, and traces the history of the First Age of Middle-earth. Melkor, the rebel Vala, steals the Silmarils, the jewels forged by the Elf Fëanor, and Fëanor's people swear a terrible oath to recover them. The text includes the tales of Beren and Lúthien, the fall of Gondolin, the island of Númenor and a brief account of the Rings of Power. Christopher Tolkien assembled it from his father's manuscripts.
Meant for people who have finished The Lord of the Rings and want its mythic background. It reads like scripture and legend, not a novel.
Deep; a demanding read.
Best for readers like The Deep Diver. Which reader are you?
