The forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion tells the
earlier history of Middle-earth, recounting the events of the First
and Second Ages, and introducing some of the key characters, such
as Galadriel, Elrond, Elendil and the Dark Lord, Sauron. 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 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. This pivotal work features the revised, corrected text and
includes, by way of an introduction, a fascinating letter written
by Tolkien in 1951 in which he gives a full explanation of how he
conceived the early Ages of Middle-earth.
