Reseña del editor

Tales and legends chronicling the world's beginnings and the happenings of the First Age set the stage for Tolkien's other classic works and focus on the theft of the Elves' jewels by Morgoth, first dark Lord of Middle-Earth.

Nota de la solapa

lmarillion 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.

Before the world began, the startling beauty of the Holy Ones awakened into song.  The sound, like countless choirs, became an ever-changing melody.  It was the music of the Ainur that set the world spinning within the endless habitation of space.  Music filled the earth with air and fire and water; stone and silver and gold; vast halls and spaces.  And Music it was that caused the Children of Invatar, Men and Elves, to be born.

Of the Elven races, it was the Noldor, the most skilled of Elves in Earthlore, who first achieved the power of making gems.  An
