Summary
For the first time ever， a very special edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings， illustrated throughout in color by J。R。R。 Tolkien himself and with the complete text printed in two colors。 The Silmarillion fills in the background which lies behind the more popular work， and gives the earlier history of Middle-earth， introducing some of the key characters。
The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels， fashioned by F�anor， 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 F�anor 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 Ainulindal�， a myth of the Creation， and the Valaquenta， in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is described。 The Akallab�th recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of N�menor 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 Tolkien's own paintings and drawings， which reveal the breathtaking grandeur and beauty of his vision of the First Age of Middle-earth。

A disappointment after enjoying the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit。 Ambitious in its scope but difficult to get into。 The second half is a lot more engaging than the first if you make it that far。 One for the die-hard Tolkien fans - everyone else should stick to LOTR and The Hobbit。

Elves and Men。 We witness the kinslaying between the Noldor and the Teleri elves。 We travel to Númenor， the greatest kingdom of men。 For those that don't know- the first king of Númenor was Elros， the twin brother of Elrond。 Unlike his brother Elrond， Elros chose to be mortal。 He became a great king of men， and it was through his line that Aragorn was born， 62 generations later。 Much like Atlantis， Númenor was destroyed and sunk beneath the ocean。 At the heart of the book is the story of the Silmarils。 The Silmarils were crafted by Fëanor， the Elven King of the Noldor。 These magical jewels contained the essence of the Two Trees of Valinor。 Fëanor asked Galadriel， the princess of Noldor and his niece， for a few strands of hair to put in The Silmarils。 She refused him。 If you remember， she granted the request to Gimli in the Fellowship of the Ring。The Silmarils， beautiful as they were， were the cause of all the drama in the book。 Morgoth stole the jewels and placed them in his crown。 They would dictate the fate of numerous heroes for thousands of years。 Of all the stories， my favorite were the ones involving Beren， Lúthien， Melian and Thingol。 And， of course， my fictional husbands - Glorfindel and Finrod Felagund。 Yes， I am allowed to have more than one fictional husband。 How could Tolkien create Aragorn， Faramir， Legolas， Éomer， Beren， Glorfindel， and Finrod and not expect his readers to fall in love？ Glorfindel was a powerful elf from Gondolin。 He appeared in the Silmarillion and the Fellowship of the Ring （some of his scenes in the movie version were given to Arwen）。 Glorfindel was killed fighting a Balrog but was later reincarnated and sent back to Middle-earth。 Finrod Felagund was an Elven king and brother of Galadriel。 Finrod was known for being honorable and was often called 'Friend of Men。' He agreed to help the mortal Beren in his quest， even though he knew it meant certain death。 He was killed by Sauron's werewolves。 Beren， Lúthien， and Huan by Alan Lee Farewell sweet earth and northern sky，for ever blest， since here did lieand here with lissom limbs did runbeneath the Moon， beneath the Sun，Lúthien Tinúvielmore fair than mortal tongue can tell。Though all to ruin fell the worldand were dissolved and backward hurledunmade into the old abyss，yet were its making good， for this—the dusk， the dawn， the earth， the sea—that Lúthien for a time should be。 Beren and Lúthien's love story is the heart of the book。 But first， a little background on Lúthien's parents。 Like Sauron， Melian was a powerful Maia。 To put it into perspective， the Maiar are more powerful than Elves， but weaker than the Valar。 Thingol， also known as Elwë， was a Sindar elf。 One day， while traveling through the forest， he encountered Melian and fell madly in love with her。 Melian reciprocated his feelings。 Never before had a Maia fallen in love with an elf， and never will it happen again。 Together they would rule the kingdom of Doriath。 They had a daughter， Lúthien Tinúviel， the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar。 Lúthien fell in love with a mortal man named Beren。 Thingol was furious and forbade his daughter to marry him。 He would eventually relent， however under one condition。 Beren would have to complete an impossible task - he would have to bring him a Silmaril。Beren would go on the dangerous journey with Galadriel's brother， Finrod Felagund。 Sauron and his servants capture them and kill Finrod。 Lúthien， who followed them with her faithful wolfhound Huan， confronts Sauron。 She and Huan kick his evil ass and take one of the Silmarils。 Beren dies of his wounds and Lúthien dies of grief。 Ilúvatar takes pity on her and gives her a choice - she and Beren could be revived and return to Middle-earth。 There is， however， a condition - she would have to give up her immortality。 Lúthien accepts to return to Middle-earth as a mortal。 Lúthien and Beren were the great-grandparents of Elrond and Elros and the great-great-grandparents of Arwen。 Arwen shared Lúthien's physical appearance as well as her fate。 She， too， would choose a mortal life and marry a man。King Thingol was murdered。 Melian returned to Valinor without her husband and daughter。 Tolkien's grave has 'Beren' inscribed on it， while his wife Edith's has 'Lúthien。' Thingol and Melian （credit to whoever made the beautiful artwork）I hope we get a movie or tv series adaption someday。 As of now， no one has managed to procure the rights to the book。 I hope that changes。 Imagine watching this incredible lore play out before your eyes。 But then again， maybe not。 Major film studios tend to ruin every book they get their hands on。 。。。more

This was such an amazing experience to read， especially since I have such a great book club！ Couldn’t have done it without them and The Prancing Pony podcast because this text was DENSE。 But it was great to spend a month or two really getting into it。 I can’t wait to read The Unfinished Tales next！！

Tolkien’s vision and world-building is amazing， as always; but man， there were a ton of names in this one。 The bulk of this book read more like a confusing genealogy of who begot who， married who， and was slain by who。 Save for a handful of characters， no one really had a personality or a real role in the story， so it was really hard for me to keep track of all the names。 I did find it so amusing that this edition contained a letter Tolkien wrote in which he explained how much he hated allegorie Tolkien’s vision and world-building is amazing， as always; but man， there were a ton of names in this one。 The bulk of this book read more like a confusing genealogy of who begot who， married who， and was slain by who。 Save for a handful of characters， no one really had a personality or a real role in the story， so it was really hard for me to keep track of all the names。 I did find it so amusing that this edition contained a letter Tolkien wrote in which he explained how much he hated allegories but stories contained in this book seem to be， themselves， allegories of the creation of the world， angels， and the making of man from the Holy Bible。 And after reading this， I appreciate the show The Rings of Power so much more because they did an absolutely fantastic job bringing places to life and creating backstory for only two or three sentences of Tolkien’s writing。 I can’t wait for season 2！ 。。。more

Simply brilliant。 A hard to follow book， but if you can get past the lineages， this book is the holy grail of how to do a narrative high fantasy。 Couldn't keep it down as I saw the world I love come into being and transform seamlessly into something that I half-knew from reading The Hobbit and LOTR through some of the most exciting fantastical events I've ever read。 Simply brilliant。 A hard to follow book， but if you can get past the lineages， this book is the holy grail of how to do a narrative high fantasy。 Couldn't keep it down as I saw the world I love come into being and transform seamlessly into something that I half-knew from reading The Hobbit and LOTR through some of the most exciting fantastical events I've ever read。 。。。more

The second time around that I'm reading this book。 This time in english， and somehow I managed to stay focused through it better than the first time， when I read it in hebrew。The first half of this book is not an easy read - so many names （sometimes two and even three names for the same person/place） and very little plot。 It takes a while for the stories to stay focused on a plot abd characters someone can follow。In the end， it started being engaging。 The second time around that I'm reading this book。 This time in english， and somehow I managed to stay focused through it better than the first time， when I read it in hebrew。The first half of this book is not an easy read - so many names （sometimes two and even three names for the same person/place） and very little plot。 It takes a while for the stories to stay focused on a plot abd characters someone can follow。In the end， it started being engaging。 。。。more

Listen this book is definitely not for everyone。 Tolkien didn't write his books with the main aim of satisfying as many readers as possible， he knew exactly what he wanted his world to be and that's what he wrote and he was also an English professor who had a passion for classics and mythology。 Basically my point is this book is written for people who are as nerdy as he was so if you're not massively invested in the book it's a bit like trying to power through a textbook so I 100% don't blame yo Listen this book is definitely not for everyone。 Tolkien didn't write his books with the main aim of satisfying as many readers as possible， he knew exactly what he wanted his world to be and that's what he wrote and he was also an English professor who had a passion for classics and mythology。 Basically my point is this book is written for people who are as nerdy as he was so if you're not massively invested in the book it's a bit like trying to power through a textbook so I 100% don't blame you if you didn't like it。 Now lucky for me I happen to be one of those people who is intensely invested in tolkiens world so let me tell you this thing is fucking insane。 The drama， the development of not just characters but entire species' is amazing。 The elves who are almost mary sue type perfect people in lord of the rings （you get a bit of the less pleasant side of them in the hobbit） are shown warts and all， the naivety and pride that lead to all the catastrophic wars they face。 The dwarves are less comic relief and the Men are shown to have the potential to be great and awful。 Even the gods - or the valar - are flawed and fuck up from time to time。 Honestly if you were ever one of those people who was mad into either Greek mythology or Egyptian mythology or what have you then that's what the silmarillion is like， its basically a fully rounded fully thought out mythology and I suppose that's what is so interesting about it。 。。。more

This is not my favorite， but the sheer magnitude of the world-building is impressive。 I love the more narrative books， but after watching Rings of Power it was nice to revisit this one and remember how the story went。

It is my personal opinion that people who complain that this book is "unreadable" or "like a textbook" should try reading any fantasy published before 1950， or even perhaps the Bible。Putting aside the miraculous nature of its existence and Tolkien's lifelong feat of imagination—pretty good！ I find myself wishing that the editorial team had embraced the necessary hodgepodge of it all rather than rigidly encasing the whole thing into A Grand Narrative—there's a middle ground to be found between th It is my personal opinion that people who complain that this book is "unreadable" or "like a textbook" should try reading any fantasy published before 1950， or even perhaps the Bible。Putting aside the miraculous nature of its existence and Tolkien's lifelong feat of imagination—pretty good！ I find myself wishing that the editorial team had embraced the necessary hodgepodge of it all rather than rigidly encasing the whole thing into A Grand Narrative—there's a middle ground to be found between the History of Middle-earth's exhaustive catalog of fragments and this book's contortions into attempted unity， and if it had been embraced here it might have avoided a great deal of structural lopsidedness—but really， that's nitpicking。 If more fantasy writers in the five decades hence had possessed the level of thought and care needed to generate as many Silmarillion clones as there are Lord of the Rings clones， we'd be far better off。Bilbo would have been too old to write "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age，" and Frodo wouldn't have claimed that he threw the Ring into Mount Doom himself， so I like to think that Sam （who is very notably only referred to as "a servant"） wrote that portion to cap things off。 I imagine Merry and Pippin were annoyed not to get any mention from him。 。。。more

Do you like epic stories？ Did you like any story about a quest？ Do you enjoy ancient Greek and Roman mythology stories？ Then stop what you’re reading and read the Silmarillion。 It’s better than whatever you are reading。 Plus you’ll feel like a fkn wizard when LOTR gets brought up at any future social interactions。 Which you’ll get tons of now that you’re a certified Tolkien historian。 Don’t @ me。

Blev svårt att lägga ifrån sig den under många nätter， vilket förvånade mig då jag alltid har trott att Silmarillion skulle vara jobbig att läsa。 Den var lätt att leva sig in i， till den grad att diverse små utrop undslapp mig många gånger （mestadels av lamenterande karaktär， no shit。。。）。 Kände mig som 11 år igen， great stuff， do recommend。
