5/29/2023 0 Comments Tolkien the silmarillion![]() ![]() True enough, every chapter and page written in the book were all conceived by J.R.R. One of course has to keep in mind that the book has been edited by Christopher Tolkien and is not what Tolkien himself (the father) saw as a finished product. I’ve always seen ‘The Silmarillion’ as a chronicle of events, rather than a novel. It’s not just one story, but rather a series of inter-connected narratives within a whole world, whose history (from the first to the last page), spans the length of a couple thousand years. ![]() I’ve said this before: it’s dense, deep and downright intricate. ‘The Silmarillion’ might not be a very pleasant reading experience at first. Forget what you’ve read in ‘The Hobbit’ or ‘The Lord of the Rings’ (actually, it would be wise to remember everything), cleanse your mind of any thoughts, sit down and start (or try) reading ‘The Silmarillon’…Ĭomplicated book, complicated (and long) blog post. (Above: This is my last attempt in trying something like this … I promise!) ![]()
