The complete unabridged audiobook of J.R.R Tolkien's The Silmarillion.

The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien’s world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. 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 in the book 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 Númenor 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.

Wunderschöne Ausgabe

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 28. November 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

Zum Inhalt will ich gar nicht viel sagen. Das Silmarillion ist ein absolutes Muss für jeden Tolkien- und Fantasyfan. Auch wenn es nicht einfach zu lesen ist, sollte man es zumindest einmal machen.

Die 2022 Auflage des Harper Collins Verlags gibt es in einer Standard- und einer Deluxe Edition und liegt leider in dieser Version nur in Englisch vor. Ich habe mich für die Standard Edition entschieden, die auch großartig gestaltet ist.
Vom Einband zum Papier hin hat man eine hochwertige Qualität gewählt, die Seiten fühlen sich toll an. Auch die enthaltenen Karten sind auf stabilen Papier bedruckt, allerdings hätte man eine kleine Tasche am Einband anbringen können, damit die Karten nicht lose umherfliegen.
Der Buchschnitt ist mit elbischen Buchstaben auf grünem Hintergrund bedruckt. Ich muss sagen, dass ich den Grünton etwas befremdlich finde, aber er harmoniert gut mit dem Blauton des Einbandes.
Ansonsten sind die Illustrationen, von Tolkien selbst angefertigt, eine schöne Zugabe und runden die Optik des Buches ab.

Alles in allem eine Ausgabe, die auch optisch mein Bücherregel aufwertet.

Schönes Leder und Schuber, aber Seitenvergoldung könnte besser sein

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 22. Dezember 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

Schriftbild, Seitendicke, Leder und Schuber sind sauber gemacht - Letzterer sind sogar besser als bei den üblichen HC Deluxe Releases.

Was etwas unsauber ist, ist die Schnittlinie zwischen Leder und Pappe am Vorder- und Hinterumschlag.

Auch nicht so toll ist die Goldbeschichtung der Seiten: die ist quasi Glitter und dann hat man Überreste am Tisch/Couch/Finger/usw. wenn man es anfasst. auch scheinen die Seiten an diversen etwas aneinander zu haften an den Rändern, was an der Goldbeschichtung liegen könnte.

Wie häufig man so ein Exemplar nun aus dem Bückerregal holt und an diesen Problemen leidet, sei dahin gestellt. Ich habe vom Silmarillion eine handvoll anderer, weniger teurer Exemplare für's tägliche Lesen.

Moin, ich habe das Buch als Geschenk für meine Frau gekauft. Sie ist ein Tolkien Nerd und hat sich sehr darüber gefreut. Die Illustrationen sind sehr hübsch und das Buch hat eine super Qualität generell. Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung.

Beautiful edition for every Tolkien fan

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 15. November 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

The 2022 Silmarillion deluxe edition is absolutely gorgeous.
A must have for every Tolkien fan.
The little extra booklet written by Christopher Tolkien has nice insights into the making and editing of the Silmarillion and the two maps looks really good and are well made. My booklet unfortunately had a small cutting error so it has a white line on top instead of blue, but I can gladly look past that.
This review is solely about this special edition, the Silmarillion in itself is obviously a must read and my altime favorite fiction.

Must Have für Tolkien Fans

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 5. November 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

Die Tolkienbibel, die seine Welt auf faszinierende Weise öffnet: In ersten Grundzügen noch während des ersten Weltkriegs angefangen und schließlich erst posthum von Sohn Christopher editiert und veröffentlicht, ist das Werk die Grundlage der gesamten Mythologie und Weltgeschichte Mittelerdes und darüber hinaus. Einzelne epochale Geschichten wie Beren und Luthien wurden mittlerweile separat und ausführlicher in Prosaform veröffentlicht, aber mit dem Silmarillion ist die Geschichte Ardas von der Weltenschöpfung bis zur Zerstörung des einen Rings abgedeckt. - Man muss sich nur an den berüchtigten, schwierigen Erzählstil etwas gewöhnen.

Magnificent masterpiece

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 22. November 2018

Verifizierter Kauf

I bought The Silmarillion a long time ago in paperback, settled down and started to read. I gave up after a few pages feeling bored and confused. What was this? It was like reading the Bible. I just couldn't get into it. However, a few months later I tried again. Still didn't like it. And then later I tried again. Once more I couldn't get past the first couple of chapters. Bored, bored, bored. In the end I gave my paperback to charity.

Many years later I decided I would try The Silmarillion again. This time I bought it in hardback, thinking that I could guilt myself into reading it as I'd paid so much for it. I knew I was having difficulty reading the first chapters so I forced myself to read two pages a day (not an ideal way to enjoy a book!). Then something magical happened. I found myself enjoying it. By the time I had reached chapter 6 "Of Feanor and the unchaining of Melkor" I was completely gripped and couldn't put the book down. I didn't want it to end. I actually felt quite bereft when I'd finished it. The stories of Feanor and his sons and the Silmarils, the fall of Gondolin, the love story of Beren and Luthien, the tragic story of Turin Turambar all completely enthralled me. It is difficult to put into words how completely captivating and engrossing these stories are. How one man had all this inside his head is beyond me.

I have one tiny gripe. Why on earth isn't Thangorodrim and Angband on the map included in the book? It's like leaving Mordor off the map of Middle Earth in LOTR. It's essential. In the end I bought Karen Wynn Fonstad's map book The Atlas of Tolkien’s Middle-earth so I could sort it out in my head.

So the moral of the story is if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. If you persist with this book you will be very well rewarded. It's the sort of book that will stay with you for a lifetime.

The Middle Earth Bible!

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 23. Mai 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

The Silmarillion is a book I have had in my collection for a while. I adore Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. I would go as far as to say they're possibly my favourite books. I've read them all back to back and do so more than the average person. But The Silmarillion is one I've been on the fence about. I've heard for a long time that this book is a tough read. That it is very dry, full of hard to pronounce Elven words and is a huge hit or miss on anyone who picks the thing up. Because of this, I've felt a bit hesitant to try it. With the constant advertising of the awful looking Rings of Power show, I thought it was finally time to give it a whirl. I may or may not like it, but I'll give it a go anyway. That is exactly what I did and to my surprise, I found this book was not only a fantastic read but a lot easier than the people I know have stated.

For those who are not familiar with the book, The Silmarillion is a post humous release by Christopher Tolkien. He had the help of fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay and their goal was to put together J.R.R. Tolkien's history of Middle Earth and all things surrounding it into a coherent and readable book. This book mainly features a detailed history of the first age of Middle Earth. Everything from the first being, to the origins of the Valar and Maiar, the world and all the lands in it as well as the races of Elves, Men, Dwarves etc that dwell in it. There's a good portion about the the fall of Numenor, Last Alliance's fight against Sauron and ending with a short section about the third age (Aragorn, Frodo etc).

As a book, I found it not too difficult to read. The English was old fashioned but easy to understand. I didn't find it too dry or dull. He uses this to paint a fantastic picture, something that a lot of people are incapable of doing in this day and age (in my opinion). The story telling itself was well paced for the most part, only feeling slow at the beginning as the reader is being introduced to the origins of everything, their true names and who/what they were involved with. All of the short stories are very fascinating. Tolkien introduces us to a lot of great characters, most of whom have back stories and satisfying character arcs.

Whilst I love the detail in the stories themselves, I find that sometimes they can be buried under a little too much information. At times when we discover a new character, we're introduced to him (or her) like this, "This is so and so from this family, child of this person, living in this region, next to this place, where this thing is and they originally came from here, took part in this event which featured this person who lives here... " and so on. It's fine in small portions but can get a little silly at times. Especially when you consider the length of the names given to every person and place. I suspect this is the part that people find off putting and possibly over whelming. It might seem like sacrilege to some but is literally the ONLY reason I've given it four stars and as a little restraint might have been better at times.

The copy of the book I have is the lovely orange 2021 hardback special edition. This beast of a book comes with some wonderfully thick pages, a serious hard front and back cover as well as a large slipcase to keep the book in. The text is more than large enough for my miserable eyes and there's a good amount of illustrations too. The works of Ted Nasmith scattered throughout the book are absolutely lovely. Plenty of detail and colour. It's a fine product and a great edition in my collection.

The Silmarillion is a great detailed history of how things came to be and really puts some stuff into perspective. It might be a bit much for those who only like the films and those that struggle to pronounce Elvish. Those folks can get a considerably cheaper copy. But those die hard Tolkien readers will love this copy of the book, or the book in general. There's so many great characters and details about things only mentioned in previous books. It really makes things feel complete and I couldn't recommend it more.

The one uncompleted book in my vast book collection

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 1. Januar 2019

Verifizierter Kauf

With fondness i recall how much I enjoyed reading the Hobbit and even more so the Lord of the Rings during my teenage years - I even feigned illness to have a good few days to complete these books.

Although I barely read fiction these days, I thought it a great idea to bring the Silmarillion along on a holiday trip. That was a mistake. I was aware the book was never published during the author’s life and that it was completed and composed by his son. However it’s of much higher mythological content than for instance the start of the Lord of the Rings. To me the book just goes on and on about the Elderdays to which there are references in the Lord of the Rings. But the writing style is very different. And it reads more like a dry history text that heaps up exotic dwarf and elven names. To me it was all a bit incoherent or maybe I didn’t try hard enough to find the coherence. Yet I did make a serious effort!

Perhaps my setting wasn’t great as I like my holiday reading to be accompanied by a few beers or a good wine, but that doesn’t blend well with the nature of this book as it requires close attention. I never, ever do not finish a book. But the Silmarillion broke this rule, as I gave up after 1/3 and decide to leave it to the Middle Earth fanatics and started to enjoy my holiday.

An absolutely essential purchase for any Tolkien fan.

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 12. November 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

Note: this review is for the 2022 ‘illustrated by the author’ version.

I’m going to imagine that most people who are obsessive about Tolkien’s works will already have this book in some format or another. So why buy this one? Well, for a start it’s beautifully illustrated throughout by the author himself. Obviously, Tolkien was clearly not as good an illustrator as Alan Lee, John Howe or Ted Nasmith, but his pictures do give you a much better insight into how Middle-Earth would look, if it were not coloured by later fantasy works.

Second is the book itself, which is absolutely beautiful: case-bound with a foil imprint of the Silmarilli device on the cover and spine. The print is of a very high quality in two colours: black with blue titles and headings. The paper is premium, white and smooth – not the pulp used in the other tales of the First Age Series. There are two pull-out maps included as well: a reprint of the original hand drawn version by J.R.R. Tolkien himself and a revised version by his son Christopher. The finishing touches are that the edges of the pages are tinted green with Tengwar (Elven) Script emblazoned down them, as well as a built-in bookmark.

If you are new to Tolkien and have come here from the films or the TV show — or simply want to find out more about the history of Middle-Earth — then this is the place to come. I am not going to lie: The Silmarillion can be a hard read compared to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and even more so when compared to ‘The Hobbit’, as it has an almost biblical style. My advice is to check out the tips on pronunciation in the back of the book before starting — it’ll make your progress much easier. There are five sections overall, but the main part is the ‘Quenta Silmarillion’, which is the story of the Elves and the holy gems known as the Silmarils, and is set during the First Age of Middle-Earth. The other sections deal with the creation of Middle-Earth, the various gods and goddesses, the Second Age and the downfall of Numenor, and a brief synopsis of the events leading up to the end of the Third Age.

As I said earlier it’s not the easiest read in the world but it is absolutely essential if you wish to know more about Middle-Earth and, especially, the Elves. I highly recommend this version.

Back in the Mists of Time

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 19. August 2022

Verifizierter Kauf

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is of course best remembered by the general public for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but of course he wrote much more than this, both fiction and non-fiction. This particular book was never published in the author’s lifetime, and it is only thanks to his son, Christopher that we have this. We have here then Ainulindalë, Valaquenta, Quenta Silmarillion, Akallabêth, and Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age. Along with these tales we also have maps, family trees, notes on pronunciation, an index, footnotes and so on.

Because Tolkien created such an immersive world, with invented languages and so much more he was also able to create a whole mythopoeia for this world, these stories being part of that. So here we are given a creation myth the First Age of Middle Earth and the forging of the SIlmarils, all of which are interconnected tales; the fall of various people, and the last part giving us an idea of the rings, which would be continued in his more popular works.

As such this was really a work in progress as Tolkien originally started writing the pieces here long before the more famous works were published, and thus he was still building the world that we later came to know so well. I first read this when I was in my teens but coming back to it all these years later, I can clearly see where certain parts of this were inspired by real myths from the world, which gives me a greater appreciation of what the author was attempting to do with this, and how well he built his fantasy world and languages spoken in it.

I should warn those who are coming to this for the very first time that when this was first published it received mainly poor reviews, but if you look a little bit more into them you will see that this was perhaps because the press were expecting more of what had been published in the past, rather than something that was based more upon the lines of a scholarly type of work, more akin to something that would be written about myths in our own world. The problem then with this is that even if you are a hardened fan, you may not find this easily digestible although it does make for an interesting read, and it is not common to have a fantasy world created with such precision.
