From Amazon.co.uk

Although The Silmarillion takes place in the same imaginary world as J.J.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and was originally published four years after the author's death and over two decades after the former book, it is set much earlier, in the First Age of the World. The tales and the book which reads as a fusion between a story collection and historical chronicle, are a matter of legend even to the characters of The Lord of the Rings:
In the beginning Eru, the One, who in the Elvish tongue is named Ilúvatar, made the Ainur of his thought; and they made a great Music before him
Tolkien wrote the heart of this material very early in his career, and continued to work on it throughout his life. It fell to his son, Christopher Tolkien, to edit it into book form, and such proved the unquenchable public appetite that he subsequently oversaw 12 volumes of The History of Middle-Earth. This edition features 20 highly evocative colour plates by Ted Nasmith, themselves worth the price of admission, while reinforcing the sense of a historical work are genealogical tables, an extensive index, appendix and colour map. Far removed from the genial style of The Hobbit, this is Tolkien at his most formal, his prose austere, poetically beautiful, his storytelling capturing the epic scale, high drama and melancholy wonder of myth. These stories of elves and heroes and old gods are quite literally the foundation of the entire modern fantasy-publishing revival, and are therefore essential reading. --Gary S. Dalkin --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

From Library Journal

The action of this volume predates even the above History titles as it relates the creation of Middle-earth, its beings and the coming of evil. Tolkien's Paradise Lost.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Not only a book, but a Piece of Art, Fév 28 2005
Par Gonzalo Morán (Havana City, Cuba) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Silmarillion (Hardcover)
It is quite difficult to write something about "The Silmarillion" when there are already so many people that have read it. But to write something about this new illustrated edition is completely different.

The whole book is a work mayor fantasy, created by J.R.R. Tolkien and it has been for all of us possible to read it, thanks to his son Christopher. The book should be read after having been read "The Hobbit" and The Lord of the Rings in that order, because if not its reading it could a bit difficult. Doing it this way you can feel as if you live each one of the histories like something that was made for us to know, but somehow didn't fitted in the previous books.

Now let's take this classic book and let's add it illustrations... Can someone request for more? This edition overcomes the previous by arriving to 45 marvelously painted illustrations, made by Ted Nasmith. Some of the paintings are awesomely real. They caught my eyes from the very beginning. It's a pity that some paintings made by Nasmtih, like the ones entitled "Eärendil Searches Tirion" and "Luthien Escapes the Treehouse" haven't been included in the final edition. On the other hand it was a big surprise to see the high-scaled map of this one. Not even the illustrated edition of LOTR has such a big and wonderful map.

To tell the truth it's a privilege to have this book in my bookcase beside the illustrated editions of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings".

Once again thanks Tolkien for give us such a wonderful world to live in, and thanks Mr Nasmith for put it into images.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Gives us amazing scope and depth to our beloved middle-earth, Janv. 8 2009
There have been complaints about this book being boring, dull, hard-to-get-through, etc. This book is obviously not for everyone, but no book ever is. To all who love 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings', be forwarned that this doesn't resemble them, meaning hobbits are entirely absent, which does take away from the story. However, we finally get to read those legend and tales which were so teasing and tantalizing to us in 'The Lord of the Rings'. We learn where Aragorn came from, the Witch-King, Sauron, Morgoth, Elrond, and many others. It is well worth the read! I for one, LOVED this book, and have read it over again, though not as many times as 'The Lord of the Rings'. I would say the most difficult part I found was the beginning, where the earth is created. For some reason I couldn't get into that, but as soon as it moves past that, the books becomes more alive. Oh, and another thing was all the names. There are a lot of Elvish names that begin with 'F', all related of course, and for me it was a bit hard to keep track of who was related to whom. Names such as 'Feanor', 'Fingolfin', 'Finarfin', 'Finwe'...etc. In the end I made a rough and hasty family tree, just to make sure I knew who actually was where in the universe! But all in all, this is a satisfying and wholesome work. I just wish Tolkien had more time to complete it!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great background and stories, not enough time to create them, Juil 9 2007
Par sheila bezeredi "bez" (surrey, bc, canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I found this like reading out of an encyclopedia, a little bland and with limited detail. The material for some of the best fantasy novels is there but alas for Mr. Tolkein as nobody lives forever. But seeing as he didn't have the time to create a narrated novel out of any of these (exception of LOTR, Hobbit, and Children of Hurin-all fabulous by the way) the book was very intricate and masterfully created. Its almost as if he was god to his own little world. Almost as if he himself was Illuvitar.
