Precursore de Il Signore degli Anelli, Il Silmarillion racconta la storia precedente della Terra di Mezzo, raccontando gli eventi della Prima e della Seconda Era e introducendo alcuni dei personaggi chiave, come Galadriel, Elrond, Elendil e il Signore Oscuro, Sauron. Il Silmarillion è un resoconto dei Giorni Antichi, della Prima Era del mondo di Tolkien. È l'antico dramma a cui i personaggi de Il Signore degli Anelli guardano indietro e ai cui eventi alcuni di loro, come Elrond e Galadriel, hanno preso parte. I racconti del Silmarillion sono ambientati in un'epoca in cui Morgoth, il primo Signore Oscuro, abitava nella Terra di Mezzo e gli Alti Elfi gli mossero guerra per il recupero dei Silmaril, i gioielli contenenti la pura luce di Valinor. Nel libro sono incluse diverse opere più brevi. L'Ainulindale è un mito della Creazione e nella Valaquenta vengono descritti la natura e i poteri di ciascuno degli dei. L'Akallabeth racconta la caduta del grande regno insulare di Númenor alla fine della Seconda Era e Of the Rings of Power racconta i grandi eventi alla fine della Terza Era, come narrato ne Il Signore degli Anelli. Questa fondamentale opera presenta il testo rivisto e corretto e include, a mo' di introduzione, un'affascinante lettera scritta da Tolkien nel 1951 in cui fornisce una spiegazione completa di come ha concepito le prime Ere della Terra di Mezzo. Il libro di JRR Tolkien "The Fall of Númenor" è stato un bestseller del Sunday Times nella settimana del 07-11-2022.

J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 80 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
Christopher Tolkien, born on 24 November 1924, was the third son of J.R.R. Tolkien. As his father’s literary executor, he devoted over forty years to the publication of his father’s unpublished works, from The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales to Beren and Lúthien and The Fall of Gondolin, and within 'The History of Middle-earth' series, and was awarded the Bodley Medal for his services to literature in 2016. He died in January 2020 at the age of 95.
Designed to take fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings deeper into the myths and legends of Middle-earth
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 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.
This pivotal work features the revised, corrected text and includes, 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.
