The Silmarillion is a book of history. It tells of the creation of the world, its beings, and of the creation of the Silmarils. The Exile of the Noldor from Valinor, and the struggle of good and evil for possession of the Silmarils. Most of its events take place in the First Age of the world. It also tells of the Second Age, and the Downfall of Numenor, and of the Rings of Power and the begining of the Third Age. Within all this are several wonderful stories of bravery, love, and treachory.
A book worth reading. |

"thanx guys *and galls* but does no one actually have n e questions they r dying to b answered, no matter how silly!"
Just a polite aside, rainbow, and a welcome to you and Glorious Glorfindel on joining the Moot. However, is there something wrong with your keyboard? I don't quite follow the usage of singular consonants replacing actual words. I know I'm just old, but it seems to make sense to me that if one is discussing the works of an Oxford professor of languages, one might consider using actual English instead of some form of south Mordor Orcish. Glad you folks joined the Moot, and forgive the observation.....just an old coot defending arcane concepts such as "grammar and punctuation".....

"...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160. |
