Including brand-new paintings, this is a fully illustrated new
edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings. The
Silmarillion fills in the background which lies behind the more
popular work, and gives the earlier history of Middle-earth,
introducing some of the key characters. The Silmarillion is the
core of J.R.R.Tolkien's imaginative writing, a collection of
narratives ranging in time from the Elder Days of Middle-earth,
through the Second Age and the rise of Sauron, to the end of the
War of the Ring. They are set in an age when Morgoth, the first
Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the Elves made war upon him
in his impenetrable fortress in Angband for the recovery of the
Silmarils, three jewels containing the last remaining pure light of
Valinor, seized by Morgoth and set in his iron crown. Accompanying
these tales are several shorter works.The Ainulindale is a myth of
the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of the
gods is described. The Akallabeth recounts the downfall of the
great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age and Of
the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the
Third Age, as told in The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien could not
publish The Silmarillion in his lifetime, as it grew with him, so
he would leave it to his son, Christopher, to edit the work from
many manuscripts and bring his father's great vision to publishable
form, so completing the literary achievement of a lifetime.This
special edition presents anew this seminal first step towards
mapping out the posthumous publishing of Middle-earth, and the
beginning of an illustrious forty years and more than twenty books
celebrating his father's legacy. Also included is a letter by
J.R.R. Tolkien written in 1951 which provides a brilliant
exposition of the earlier Ages, and almost 50 full-colour paintings
by Ted Nasmith, including some which appear here for the first
time.
Dlhoočakávané finále jednej z najúspešnejších fantasy sérií,
závislosti, ktorej prepadli čitatelia po celom svete, Trón zo skla!
Aelin Galathynius sa zaprisahala, že zachráni svoj ľud, aj keď
cena, ktorú za to treba zaplatiť, je nepredstaviteľne vysoká. Keď
ju kráľovná férov Maeve uväzní v starodávnej železnej truhle a
niekoľko mesiacov mučí, jedinou nádejou na prežitie je len Aelinina
ohnivá vôľa a strašná istota, že ak ju Maeve zlomí, bude to
znamenať skazu pre jej milovaných. S každým ďalším dňom však jej
pevné odhodlanie nepoddať sa čoraz viac slabne... Kým je Aelin v
zajatí, jej priateľov a spojencov osud zaveje na všetky svetové
strany. Niektoré putá sa posilnia, iné sa spretŕhajú naveky. A keď
sa ich cesty znovu spoja, všetci musia bojovať, ak Erilea nemá
padnúť. V napínavom záverečnom diele svetového bestselleru od Sarah
J. Maas bude musieť Aelin zviesť posledný, najťažší boj pre
záchranu seba samej – a pre prísľub lepšieho sveta.
