Sinossi
Il "Silmarillion", iniziato nel 1917 e la cui elaborazione è stata proseguita da Tolkien fino alla morte, rappresenta il tronco da cui si sono diramate tutte le sue successive opere narrative. "Opera prima", dunque (ma anche "ultima", e di tono assai diverso, ben più elevato delle altre), essa costituisce il repertorio mitico di Tolkien, quello da cui è derivata, direttamente o indirettamente, la filiazione delle sue favole, da "Lo Hobbit" a "Il Signore degli Anelli", da "Il cacciatore di Draghi" ai racconti di "Albero e foglia". Si tratta di un'opera che, nella vasta produzione di Tolkien, occupa una posizione di primato, non soltanto temporale, ma anche e soprattutto tematica e formale. Vi si narrano gli eventi della Prima Era, alla quale di continuo si rifanno, come a un necessario antecedente e a una chiave interpretativa, i personaggi e le avventure de "Il Signore degli Anelli". (Marco Respinti)

Writing a review of the Silmarillion is like trying to review the Bible. Where do you even start? There’s just so much story in here. Any attempt to convey it in a review would be to do the book a massive disservice. There would only ever be enough space to talk about one or a few elements of the wo Leggi tutto
She went then to the gardens of Lórien and lay down to sleep; but though she seemed to sleep, her spirit indeed departed from her body, and passed in silence to the halls of Mandos. The maidens of Estë tended the body of Míriel, and it remained unwithered; but she did not return. Then Finwë lived Leggi tutto
Buddy re-read with Shii! I’ve been contemplating whether or not to tackle the challenge of actually reviewing this masterpiece for quite some time now.

How To Build A Truly Convincing Fantasy World 1. It's all about the language. Make sure your world's language is convincing, and you're pretty much there. Conversely, if your language sucks then everything else will. 2. Your book can't include more than a few sentences in your invented language withou Leggi tutto
"Oh woe-begotten spirit, fall now into dark oblivion, and forget for a while the dreadful doom of life." I must admit. I struggled. Though I love the Lord of the Rings and the Middle Earth Universe with all of my heart, tackling a large part of its history in this manner was tough going. The world To Leggi tutto
