The forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion tells the earlier history of Middle-earth, recounting the events of the First and Second Ages, and introducing some of the key characters, such as Galadriel, Elrond, Elendil and the Dark Lord, Sauron.

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 Númenor 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.

Kritikerstimmen

"How, given little over half a century of work, did one man become the creative equivalent of a people?" ( The Guardian)
"Demanding to be compared with English mythologies...at times rises to the greatness of true myth." ( Financial Times)
"A creation of singular beauty...magnificent in its best moments." ( Washington Post)
"A grim, tragic, brooding and beautiful book, shot through with heroism and hope... its power is almost that of mysticism." ( Toronto Globe & Mail)

story can be a bit hard to follow with all the names of people and places but otherwise quite enjoyable. I really like the voice of this audiobook but the overlaid music at the end of some chapters is extremely distracting to me.

Good book but unnecessary music outros

I've started to read the Silmarillion as a book and stopped after a while since it got too confusing.

But listening to this reader, who also modulates his voice for better differentiation of the characters, finally got me hooked and through this wonderful epic by Mr. Tolkien.

And I most certainly recommend it to everyone else, who is also interested in the epic history of the World of Middle Earth/Arda and how it came to be.

Beautifully told story, that itself is marvelous

I probably have listened to this dozens of times by now, and I think it's fair to say, this is probably the best fictional universe I know, with a good narrator aswell. I just wish it would have some background audio, like scene fitting SFX and the like.

Complex, but lovely.

the Story is told really good, but as with all JRR Tolkien Storys, its really Hard to Keep up by the style it is written in, but over all a masterpiece

awesome but hard

An amazing and rich journey through an epic fantasy adventure. For the newcomer a lot to take in, but well worth the effort if taken in bite sized chunks. A must if you really want to understand Tolkien's world, although several readings/listenings are required.

How it all began: Biblical
