Delve into the dawn of creation with "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien, the work that establishes the mythological foundations of all his narratives. Published posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien, this Second Edition from 2002 by Del Rey Books / Ballantine is the definitive edition for any scholar or fan of the author.
Unlike The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, which narrate events from the end of the Third Age, The Silmarillion transports us to ancient times: the creation of the world (Ainulindalë), the arrival of the Valar and Maiar, the awakening of Elves and Men, and the harrowing war against Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. At the heart of this story are the Silmarils, three jewels that held the light of the Two Trees of Valinor, whose coveting unleashed a rebellion that forever changed the fate of Middle-earth.
Perfect for fantasy literature collectors, completists of Tolkien's work, readers wishing to explore the mythological depth of Middle-earth, and students of English literature. An essential piece that enriches any library.
