To celebrate the 30th anniversary of first publication, a new de luxe edition of the Silmarillion, featuring the revised, reset text, a colour frontispiece illustration, bound in special materials and presented in a matching slipcase. The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's world. 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 tales of the Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included in the book are several shorter works. the Ainulindale is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. the Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Nůmenor 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. For the first time, we are publishing a deluxe edition of this pivotal work, featuring the revised, corrected text and including, by way of an introduction, a fascinating letter written by Tolkien in 1951 in which he gives a full explanation of how he conceived the early Ages of Middle-earth. Bound in cloth and leather, and set in a cloth-bound slipcase, this attractive edition will prove a fine addition to any Tolkien collection.
