Synopsis "The Silmarillion (in English)"

The tales of The Silmarillion were the underlying inspiration and source of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing; he worked on the book throughout his life but never brought it to a final form. Long preceding in its origins The Lord of the Rings, it is the story of the First Age of Tolkien's world, the ancient drama to which characters in The Lord of the RIngs look back and in which some of them, such as Elrond and Galadriel, took part. The title Silmarillion is shortened from Quenta Silmarillion, "The History of the Silmarils," the three great jewels created by Feanor, most gifted of the Elves, in which he imprisoned the light of the Two Trees that illumined Valinor, the land of the gods. When Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, destroyed the Trees, that light lived on only in the Silmarils; Morgoth seized them and set them in his crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. The Silmarillion is the history of the rebellion of Feanor and his people against the gods, their exile in Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroisim of Elves and Men, against the great Enemy. The book includes several other, shorter works beside The Silmarillion proper. Preceding it are "Ainulindale," the myth of Creation, and "Valaquenta," in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is set forth. After The Silmarillion is "Akallabeth," the story of the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age; completing the volume is "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," in which the events of The Lord of the Rings are treated in the manner of The Silmarillion. This new edition of The Silmarillion contains the revised and corrected "second edition" text and, by way of introduction, a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1951, which provides a brilliant exposition of his conception of the earlier Ages. It also contains almost fifty full-color illustrations by the artist Ted Nasmith, many of which appear for the first time.

"John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (Bloemfontein, hoy Sudáfrica; 3 de enero de 1892-Bournemouth, Dorset; 2 de septiembre de 1973), a menudo citado como J. R. R. Tolkien o JRRT, fue un escritor, poeta, filólogo, lingüista y profesor universitario británico, nacido en Sudáfrica. Conocido principalmente por ser el autor de las novelas clásicas de fantasía heroica El hobbit, El Silmarillion y El Señor de los Anillos.

De 1925 a 1945, Tolkien ocupó la cátedra Rawlinson y Bosworth en la Universidad de Oxford, enseñando anglosajón y, de 1945 a 1959, fue profesor de Lengua y Literatura inglesa en Merton. Era amigo cercano del también escritor C. S. Lewis y ambos eran miembros de un informal grupo de debate literario conocido como los Inklings. Tolkien fue nombrado Comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico por la reina Isabel II el 28 de marzo de 1972.1​"

Lo compré por ser la versión con todas las ilustraciones de Ted Nasmith. Es más pequeña de lo que pensé, lamentablemente no venía sellada y la sobrecubierta está un poco abierta en los bordes, además de estar algo gastada en la portada. Una muy buena edición pero que no llegó nueva.
