The Silmarillion

This edition of The Silmarillion offers a beautifully illustrated journey through Tolkien's epic tales, enriched with unique features and a complete text.

This exquisite slipcased edition presents The Silmarillion as never before, featuring illustrations by J.R.R. Tolkien that breathe life into the rich tapestry of Middle-earth. For the first time, readers can enjoy the complete text in two colors, along with numerous unique bonus features that enhance the reading experience. The volume is beautifully crafted, with attention to detail that reflects the epic nature of the stories within.

At the heart of The Silmarillion lies the tale of the three Silmarilli, perfect jewels created by Fëanor, the most talented of the Elves. These jewels contained the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor but were stolen by the Dark Lord Morgoth, who hid them within his fortress of Angband. The narrative unfolds the rebellion of Fëanor and his kin against the gods, their subsequent exile, and their desperate struggle against a formidable enemy, all of which set the stage for the events that resonate in The Lord of the Rings.

Additionally, this edition includes several shorter works that enrich the lore of Middle-earth, such as the creation myth Ainulindalë, the descriptions of the gods in Valaquenta, and the tragic tale of Númenor’s downfall in Akallabêth. The deluxe features of this edition, including fold-out maps and an illustrated booklet by Christopher Tolkien, make it a treasured addition to any collection, celebrating the legacy of one of the greatest fantasy authors.
