Boy, it sure would be great if I could actually buy this on Audible or iTunes. Alas, that is not the case.

This is from Akallabêth, the Downfall of Númenor

The Silmarillion tells of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's World, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle Earth, and the High Elves made war upon them for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. It is to this ancient drama that the characters in The Lord of the Rings so often look back to.

When I first read this years ago, I was merely thirsty for more of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, etc. So, I was disappointed and even disoriented since this sweep is much more epic and grander. Now, I come to it to appreciate only Tolkien's vision and this triumph by the linguist and fantasist. It is also rather entertaining to read of Balrogs, Elrond, and Galadriel, etc. in their mythic roles during the legendary First Age.

This is my favorite book of all time. Idk what its talking about 'volume 1', the edition I have just has everything from pre creation to the fall of numenor. I can't express properly how much I adore this book, so I won't. Its dense, but totally worth it, it can get taxing when it describes where the elves ended up settling and their names.

This is Middle Earth history, of Biblical proportions. My third time reading the entire thing, but countless times have I pored over my favorite stories within:
The Ainulindale (Creation), Beren and Luthien, Earendil..
Oh, my heart! !

Review of Volume 1 (4 discs unabridged):
I have tried reading this book three times but could never get more than about 50 pages into it before I thought my head would explode. It is one of those really dense books that requires absolute quiet to read in, but I could never get that to properly concentrate on it. The book reads like an Icelandic Creation story with so many names thrown at you that you need a character list to keep them all straight. I could see elements of Christianity, along wit..more
Although a lot of background information was given in this book about the origins of Middle Earth, I had a hard time following the plot lines. There was just too much going on and too many characters to follow. The Silmarillion is very wordy and does not read like a story at all.

“But of Olórin that tale does not speak; for though he loved the Elves, he walked among them unseen, or in form as one of them, and they did not know whence came the fair visions or the promptings of wisdom that he put into their hearts. In later days he was the friend of all the Children of Ilúvatar, and took pity on their sorrows; and those who listened to him awoke from despair and put away the imaginations of darkness.” — 1 likes
