A number-one New York Times bestseller when it was originally published, THE SILMARILLION is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, a work that he could not publish in his lifetime because it grew with him. Its origins stretch back to a time long before THE HOBBIT. But THE HOBBIT was caught up in what Tolkien called "the branching acquisitive theme" he began in THE SILMARILLION, and eventually THE LORD OF THE RINGS emerged from this as well. 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 works. This is the story of the creation of the world and the happenings of the First Age, 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, the 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. The book includes several other, shorter works in addition to THE SILMARILLION. Preceding it are "The Ainulindale," a myth of the Creation, and "The Valaquenta," in which the nature and power of the gods is set forth. After THE SILMARILLION comes "The Akallabeth," a tale of the downfall of the kingdom of Numeno, and finally "Of the Rings of Power," the connecting link to THE LORD OF THE RINGS. This second edition features a number of minor textual corrections along with a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien describing his intentions for the work, written more than twenty-five years before its eventual publication. As described by Christopher Tolkien in the preface, it serves as a brilliant exposition of his conception of the earlier Ages of Middle-earth.
读了很多<<译林》,每期有个长篇,几乎最后都出了单行本,发现翻译是每下愈况。自此,《译林》不买了,那些单行本就更算了。 上他们的网站,等写完评论,他告诉你时间到了,你得重新登录,换个方法,写完COPY,结果不能COPY,倒。BYE-BYE 吧,您哪!
评分很多人都说这本书看不懂,但我非常喜欢它,因为我把《精灵宝钻》一书当作了架空世界的神话传说。我最喜欢的章节是“贝伦与露西恩”以及“图林·图伦拔”。 有人说托尔金神话体系的创世是基督教式的,创造出的世界是北欧的。我也有这种感觉。
评分《精灵宝钻》能重新出版,并且修订工作有这么多民间高手前来相助,委实出乎我意料之外。大家对托老的爱,化为当今最好的宝钻中译本,这不但是全球华文读者之福,托老在天上肯定也很开心。 首先,本书能如此又快又好地修订完毕,我要感谢龙骑士堡的喷泉(Ecthelion t...
