Publisher's Summary

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 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 Numenor 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.

Don't miss Volume 2 of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion.

    "Wow"

    I have read this book more then ones and it is wonderful to have names and things I have no ide how to pronouns. But the one thing I discovered that was a problem was I lacked the family tree and I read the differences of the names but it is some times is hard to hear. Witch leads to my only problem whit this preferments is that the reader is not always concise about names and he dos not have a clear speech.

    "Most boring book of all time"

    Terribly boring. I thought this book would give a good background of the LOTR characters, but it was just names being read out one after the other. Only for hardcore Tolkien fans !!
