A number-one New York Times bestseller when it was originally published, The Silmarillion is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, a work whose origins stretch back to a time long before The Hobbit.
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.
This second edition features a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien describing his intentions for the book, which serves as a brilliant exposition of his conception of the carlier Ages of Middle-earth.
This is the story of the First Age, the ancient drama to which characters in "The Lord of the Rings" look back.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, CBE, was an English writer, poet, WWI veteran (a First Lieutenant in the Lancashire Fusiliers, British Army), philologist, and university professor, best known as the author of the high fantasy classic works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings .
Tolkien was Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford from 1925 to 1945, and Merton Professor of English language and literature from 1945 to 1959. He was a close friend of C.S. Lewis.
Christopher Tolkien published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion . These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about an imagined world called Arda, and Middle-earth within it. Between 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the word "legendarium" to the larger part of these writings.
While many other authors had published works of fantasy before Tolkien, the great success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings led directly to a popular resurgence of the genre. This has caused Tolkien to be popularly identified as the "father" of modern fantasy literature—or more precisely, high fantasy. Tolkien's writings have inspired many other works of fantasy and have had a lasting effect on the entire field.
In 2008, The Times ranked him sixth on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". Forbes ranked him the 5th top-earning dead celebrity in 2009.
Religious influences
J.R.R. Tolkien, was born in South Africa in 1892, but his family moved to Britain when he was about 3 years old. When Tolkien was 8 years old, his mother converted to Catholicism, and he remained a Catholic throughout his life. In his last interview, two years before his death, he unhesitatingly testified, “I’m a devout Roman Catholic.”
Tolkien married his childhood sweetheart, Edith, and they had four children. He wrote them letters each year as if from Santa Claus, and a selection of these was published in 1976 as The Father Christmas Letters . One of Tolkien’s sons became a Catholic priest. Tolkien was an advisor for the translation of the Jerusalem Bible .
Tolkien once described The Lord of the Rings to his friend Robert Murray, an English Jesuit priest, as "a fundamentally religious and Catholic work, unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision." There are many theological themes underlying the narrative including the battle of good versus evil, the triumph of humility over pride, and the activity of grace. In addition the saga includes themes which incorporate death and immortality, mercy and pity, resurrection, salvation, repentance, self-sacrifice, free will, justice, fellowship, authority and healing. In addition The Lord's Prayer "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" was reportedly present in Tolkien's mind as he described Frodo's struggles against the power of the "One Ring.''
读过好几遍精灵宝钻的原著,最喜欢这个精装的插图本!
评分这个版本中土世界里最美的一本~~~~
评分哎呀买了HM版……
评分很难描述这个版本多好看……
评分托尔金的作品,译作翻译得再好也很难表现出原著的精髓,要看过原著才能理解为什么同样是写奇幻,托尔金是大师,而后来其他人的作品再火他们也只能被称为是畅销书作家...
前一段时间,把整个《三体》系列读完,在惊叹于大刘汪洋肆恣的科幻想象之外,我不免也要搜索枯肠,在这两脚书橱里找出一些似曾相识的东西来。 我找到了J.R.R.托尔金的《精灵宝钻》,这本书很难说是完整意义上的小说,更像是托尔金构建中土世界的提纲。 一个是科幻,一个是奇...
评分 评分对半兽人的繁殖方式,托尔金仅在《精灵宝钻》的两处地方含混提到。一处是第三章,“半兽人有生命,是照着伊露维塔儿女的方式滋生繁衍。”另一处是第十章,半兽人“在黑暗的地底大量繁殖起来”。由于伊露维塔的儿女(也即精灵和人类)是双性繁殖的,似乎可以推论半兽人也采取了...
评分这是一则与其说是歌颂英雄主义与希望的神话,不如说是一部书写邪恶构成的哲学之书,虽然结局自然是英雄们取胜,然而在托尔金编织的这一神话体系当中,邪恶注定轮回不休。这也是一本黑暗基调的书,托尔金让我们了解了邪恶的本源、形式、结局,此为阅读本书最大的收获与最...
评分魔戒及第三纪元的故事在本书内仅有22页,这大概也是在整个世界观设定里,托尔金对魔戒这个故事的态度。彼时,曾经的传说尘埃落定,首生子女的命运与中州寡有牵连。世界于他们而言,黯淡而且衰老,发生的一切,也不过是上古时期那些惊天动地的史诗的寥寥余音。“援助来自弱者之...
