This beautiful Simarillion edition of Tolkien, with large letters and quality illustrations, beautiful and dreamlike, takes us on a journey through time. From the first song of Illuvatar, the harmonics of Morgoth, the flight of Beren to defeat Sauron, we discover the history of Arda (Earth) through the ages. A complete cosmology, a beautifully narrated genesis, where we learn all the different tribes of the earth, the Elves, the first born to men, pasant by the dwarves. It is a universe that Tolkien sets up in this series of stories that arises as an essential prelude to 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings'. Anyone who really wants to understand the many allusions to stories from the past that are found in Tolkien must read The Silmarillion.
