"First there was Eru, that is, Iluvatar..."
What is Middle Earth and how was it created? When did evil begin? How were races born? The Silmarillion is an introduction to Tolkien's fantasy universe where you can get answers to all these questions, and in my opinion, it is a great history book. The work describes a long period of time, starting with the creation of Arda, that is, the world, until the Eldar, that is, the firstborn, left Middle-earth. Since Tolkien passed away before finishing the book, his son Christopher Tolkien put together the book from his father's notes. The most striking parts of the work consist of 5 parts;
“Music of the Ainur”
“Of Beren and Lúthien”
“Of Turambar Túrin”
“Of Tuor and the fall of Gondolin”
“Of the journey of Earendil and the War of Wrath”
Tolkien's writing is so impressive that you can hear the melody of the Ainur or the light of the silmarils dazzling your eyes. Although the language used was a bit harsh at first, I was able to read it easily with the help of the Middle Earth map and family trees, which you can easily find on the internet, but I very rarely needed this support. I never got bored or left it unfinished, on the contrary, I both enjoyed reading every sentence and was filled with sadness that it would end. You should definitely read this Middle Earth encyclopedia.
