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. (  )1   Helo_Miranda | Nov 28, 2011 | 
 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. Está contido emTolkien Fantasy Tales Box Set (The Tolkien Reader/The Silmarillion/Unfinished Tales/Sir Gawain and the Green Knight) por J. R. R.

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.
