Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A number-one New York Times bestseller upon its release, this work is the cornerstone of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, with origins predating THE HOBBIT. Tolkien regarded it as his most significant creation, published posthumously and serving as a foundation for his other writings. It narrates the world's creation and the events of the First Age, providing a backdrop that characters in THE LORD OF THE RINGS reflect upon, with figures like Elrond and Galadriel having participated in these ancient events. Central to the tale are the three Silmarils, jewels crafted by the Elven master Feanor, containing the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor, which were destroyed by Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. After the Trees' demise, the pure Light remained only within the Silmarils, which Morgoth seized and placed in his crown, hidden in the fortress of Angband in northern Middle-earth. The narrative unfolds the rebellion of Feanor and his kin against the gods, their exile from Valinor, their return to Middle-earth, and their futile yet valiant struggle against the great Enemy. This second edition includes a letter from Tolkien outlining his intentions for the book, offering insight into his vision of the earlier Ages of Middle-earth.
