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 earlier Ages of Middle-earth. 526 0 $a Accelerated Reader AR : $c 7.9 : $d 21.0 : $z 18839. 526 0 $a Accelerated Reader $b Grades 9-12 $c 7.9 $d 21 $x SD $z English fiction, vocabulary quiz available. $z English fiction, vocabulary quiz available. 650 0 $a Middle Earth (Imaginary place) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fantasy fiction, English. 650 0 $a Elves $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Elves $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Baggins, Bilbo (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Fantasy fiction, English. 650 1 $a Epic fiction. 650 1 $a Middle Earth (Imaginary place) $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Terre du Milieu (Lieu imaginaire) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Elfes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Fantasy / Epic. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Elves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908236 650 7 $a Fantasy fiction, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920756 650 7 $a Middle Earth (Imaginary place) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020337 650 7 $a Middle Earth (Imaginary place) $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Epic fiction. 655 4 $a Fantasy fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726607 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921643 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans eÌpiques. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000314 700 1 $a Tolkien, Christopher, $e editor. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0736/2001016971-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/hm021/2001016971.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20221219094617.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D2F7B9A07FAD11EDA612AC93263FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
