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 on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth 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 brand-new unabridged recording is read by the acclaimed actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.
'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
