THE EPIC LEGENDARY PRECURSOR TO THE LORD OF THE RINGSThe tales of “The Silmarillion” are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.
Included on the recording are several shorter works. The “Ainulindale” is a myth of the Creation and in the “Valaquenta” the nature and powers of each 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 narrated in The Lord of the Rings.
This brand-new unabridged recording is read by the acclaimed actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.
