Tolkien considered The Silmarillion his most important work, and, though it was published last and posthumously, this great collection of tales and legends clearly sets the stage for all his other writing. The story of the creation of the world and of the First Age, this 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 three Silmarils were jewels created by Feanor, most gifted of the Elves. Within them was imprisoned the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before the Trees themselves were destroyed by Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. Thereafter, the unsullied Light of Valinor lived on only in the Silmarils, but they were seized by Morgoth and set in his crown, which was 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 kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all their heroism, against the great Enemy.… (mais)
Jitsusama: The Silmarillion is an essential book to better understand the occurrences surrounding the Children of Hurin. It also contains a slightly shorter version of the tale.
Ludi_Ling: For those less interested in the narrative of epic fantasy fiction, and more in the mythology, history and construction of imaginary worlds, both books serve as interesting and instructive reads.
O Silmarillion é um relato dos Tempos Antigos ou da Primeira Era do Mundo. Em o Senhor dos Anéis foram narrados os grandes acontecimentos do fim da Terceira Era; em O Silmarillion as histórias provêm de um passado muito mais remoto, quando Margoth, o primeiro Senhor das Trevas, habitou a Terra Média e os Elfos Superiores o guerrearam para recuperarem os Silmarils. O Silmarillion éo produto da fabulosa imaginação do seu autor. É uma obra em que estão presentes, sob a forma de mito e da lenda, os conflitos entre o desejo de dominar o mundo e o poder criativo que provém do desenvolvimento dos valores intrínsecos.
Quando 'O Senhor dos Anéis' foi publicado, as histórias de 'O Silmarillion' já existiam em suas versões iniciais, escritas em velhos cadernos, muitas vezes às pressas e a lápis. Tolkien trabalhou nesses textos ao longo de toda a sua vida, tornando-os veículo e registro de suas reflexões mais profundas. 'O Silmarillion' relata lendas de um passado remoto, ligadas às Silmarils, três gemas perfeitas criadas por Fëanor, o mais talentoso dos elfos. Morgoth, o Senhor do escuro, que habitava a Terra=média, roubou essas pedras preciosas e as engastou em sua coroa de ferro. Para recuperá-las , os altos-elfos travaram uma guerra prolongada e sem esperanças contra o grande Inimigo. ( )
At its best Tolkien's posthumous revelation of his private mythology is majestic, a work held so long and so power fully in the writer's imagination that it overwhelms the reader. Like Tolkien's other books, The Silmarillion presents a doomed but heroic view of creation that may be one of the reasons why a generation growing up on the thin gruel of television drama, and the beardless cynicism of Mad magazine, first found J.R.R. Tolkien so rich and wonderful.
If "The Hobbit" is a lesser work that the Ring trilogy because it lacks the trilogy's high seriousness, the collection that makes up "The Silmarillion" stands below the trilogy because much of it contains only high seriousness; that is, here Tolkien cares much more about the meaning and coherence of his myth than he does about these glories of the trilogy: rich characterization, imagistic brilliance, powerfully imagined and detailed sense of place, and thrilling adventure. Not that these qualities are entirely lacking here.

There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made.

"And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its utternmost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined."
Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that come down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death life that endures.

In the twilight of autumn it sailed out of Mithlond, until the seas of the Bent World fell away beneath it, and the winds of the round sky troubled it no more, and borne upon the high airs above the mists of the world it passed into the Ancient West, and an end was come for the Eldar of story and of song.
[Foreword] In the difficult and doubtful task o preparing the text of the book I was very greatly assisted by Guy Kay, who worked with me in 1974-1975. Christopher Tolkien
Here ends The Silmarillion: If it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred; and if any change shall come and the Marring be amended, Manwë and Varda may know; but they have not revealed it, and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.

This LT Work is for The Silmarillion, a posthumous and highly edited publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's over-arching work on Middle-earth.
Note "Middle-earth" is a word used for the central continent on Tolkien's fictional world, and also a word used for the whole of that world and its mythology.
The book has five chapters.
Chapter 1: Creation myth. Chapter 2: Creation myth continued. Chapter 3: The vast bulk of the book, legends of Mankind and the Elves from the First Age of the world. Chapter 4: A story from the Second Age. Chapter 5: The Third Age which includes the story of Isildur and the Ring, plus a very concise retelling of the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Please do not combine The Silmarillion with The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, or with any other Tolkien work.
Books with titles that include the words "The Later Silmarillion" (Morgoth's Ring, The War of the Jewels) are different works and should not be combined with this.
Unfinished Tales is a different work and should not be combined with this. The Book of Lost Tales is a different work and should not be combined with this. (Both are retellings of the same tales from The Silmarillion but are different works.)
