J.R.R.
Tolkien's
The
Silmarillion
The
Story of time from the Music of the Ainur to the End of the First Age of
Middle Earth
A book That I would compare to the Bible,
and my personal favorite book, one that i'm constantly reading. An example
of the scale of this book is the name of the first chapter, named "Of the
Beginning of Days". and Even before this is a short story called
"Ainulindale", the story of the creation
of the Universe by Eru "The one" and the Angelic beings called "The Ainur",
and how the most powerful of all the Ainur, Melkor, generally fell from
grace and became Tolkien's equivalent of Satan.
The Story Goes on to Eventually tell of the
Story of how Melkor Betrayed The king of the Noldor Elves, Finwe, and his
children and Grandchildren, and Stole the greatest treasures, 3 heavenly
gems called The Silmarils. Made by Finwe's first son Feanor. The Noldor
persue Melkor back to Middle-Earth, And the majority of the book deals
with the Struggle of Elves and Men against Melkor and his armies, and as
Tolkien himself puts it....
"Hopeless Dispite great Heroism, against
the greatest of Foes."
This book is so Incredibly amazing that it
is Impossible to summarize, If you enjoy reading or history, I would Really
recommend you buy This book.
A Balrog of Melkor Commands the assault of
Gondolin, the last Stronghold of the Noldor Elves in Middle-Earth
