The Silmarillion
Also by J.R.R. Tolkien
edited by Christopher Tolkien
Tolkien's epic legendary precursor to The Lord of the Rings.
The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashiioned by Feanor(偷懒了,不打点了就), most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor. When the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within an iron crown in the impenetrable fortress of Angband, Feanor and his kindred took up arms against the great Enemy and waged a long and terrible war to recover them.
The Silmarillion tells the story of the rebellion by Feanor's allies against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth. It is the history of the heroic First Age in Tolkien's words, the ancient drama long before the time of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
