El Silmarillion
Tolkien, J. R. R.
Nasmith, Ted
(il.)
The Silmarillion is the central body of J.R.R.'s narrative texts. Tolkien, a work that he could not publish during his lifetime because it grew up with him. Tolkien started writing it long before The Hobbit. Work conceived as an independent story, but which was part of what he called a "theme that collects and ramifies", and from which The Lord of the Rings emerged. The Silmarillion tells the story of the First Age, the ancient drama that the characters in The Lord of the Rings speak of, and in whose events some of them took part, such as Elrond and Galadriel. The three Silmarils were gems created by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, and they contained the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before the Trees themselves were destroyed by Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. Since then the immaculate Light of Valinor dwelt only in the Silmarils, but Morgoth seized them, and set them in his crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth.
