Although The Silmarillion takes place in the same imaginary world as J.J.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and was originally published four years after the author's death and over two decades after the former book, it is set much earlier, in the First Age of the World. The tales and the book which reads as a fusion between a story collection and historical chronicle, are a matter of legend even to the characters of The Lord of the Rings:
In the beginning Eru, the One, who in the Elvish tongue is named Ilúvatar, made the Ainur of his thought; and they made a great Music before him
Tolkien wrote the heart of this material very early in his career, and continued to work on it throughout his life. It fell to his son, Christopher Tolkien, to edit it into book form, and such proved the unquenchable public appetite that he subsequently oversaw 12 volumes of The History of Middle-Earth. This edition features 20 highly evocative colour plates by Ted Nasmith, themselves worth the price of admission, while reinforcing the sense of a historical work are genealogical tables, an extensive index, appendix and colour map. Far removed from the genial style of The Hobbit, this is Tolkien at his most formal, his prose austere, poetically beautiful, his storytelling capturing the epic scale, high drama and melancholy wonder of myth. These stories of elves and heroes and old gods are quite literally the foundation of the entire modern fantasy-publishing revival, and are therefore essential reading. --Gary S. Dalkin -
在被LOTR系列彻底洗脑之后我找来这本中洲历史第一卷的《精灵宝钻》来看。说实话整个阅读过程不很顺利,因为书的内容太过丰富,人物众多且关系混乱,单是绕人物名字就把我绕的几度想摔书罢读。但是阅读这本书的过程也绝对是一种享受,绝对的享受。读完这本书后,我找回了当初初...
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 评分读了很多<<译林》,每期有个长篇,几乎最后都出了单行本,发现翻译是每下愈况。自此,《译林》不买了,那些单行本就更算了。 上他们的网站,等写完评论,他告诉你时间到了,你得重新登录,换个方法,写完COPY,结果不能COPY,倒。BYE-BYE 吧,您哪!
