The Silmarillion. Illustrated Edition
Hurry! Only 3 Left in Stock!
This book is a precursor to The Lord of the Rings, but at the same time, it is a self-sufficient and cohesive legendarium. The masterfully crafted mythological history of the imagined yet surprisingly realistic Middle-earth has been gathered under one cover by the Author's son — Christopher Tolkien. The reader holds in their hands not just a compilation, but a true epic compendium about the struggle between good and evil, described in separate works. Ainulindalë is the myth of the Creation of the World, about the emergence of Evil and the reasons for the Fall; Valaquenta describes the hierarchy of divine powers, their nature, and their role in the Creation; Quenta Silmarillion tells the story of the Silmarils: from their creation, the uprising of Fëanor and his kin against the gods, the exile of the rebels from Valinor, and their return to Middle-earth — all the way to the hopeless war against the great Enemy for these perfect jewels, despite the sacrificial courage; Akallabêth recounts the fall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, while the tale Of the Rings of Power provides a brief overview of the grand events of the Third Age, primarily — the course of the War of the Ring.
