The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien is the mythic history of Middle-earth, presenting creation myths, heroic legends and tragic wars long before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It centres on the Silmarils, radiant jewels whose fate drives pride, rebellion and sorrow among Elves, Men and Gods. Written in an epic, biblical style, the book explores themes of power, loss, fate and the enduring struggle between light and darkness that shape the world’s ancient destiny forever.
