The Silmarillion: 30th Anniversary (De Luxe Edition) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Before Middle-earth became the realm of hobbits and rings, there existed an elder world—a time of gods and high elves, of desperate quests for ancient jewels and the first struggle between light and darkness. The Silmarillion is Tolkien's account of these elder days, the mythic foundation upon which The Lord of the Rings stands. Here lie the stories to which Aragorn, Elrond and Galadriel look back across the ages, events in which some of them played pivotal roles.
This is the chronicle of an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves waged eternal war to recover the Silmarils—three holy jewels containing the pure, captured light of the Undying Lands. Within these pages lie creation myths, the genealogies of gods and men, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the great events that shaped Middle-earth itself. This sumptuous de luxe edition celebrates thirty years of Tolkien's masterwork with a revised text, colour frontispiece, quarter-binding in special materials, a fold-out map, and presentation in a matching slipcase. Includes the foundational letter Tolkien wrote in 1951 explaining his conception of Middle-earth's early ages—essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deepest mythological roots of his legendarium.
A fine addition to any Tolkien collection.
