內容簡介

《精靈寶鑽》於1977年首次出版時,曾獲得以下的佳評:
「這本一個人寫作超過半世紀的作品,竟成為一群人的創作源頭,這是怎麼辦到的?」 ─衛報

「原本抱著創作英文神話的雄心,最後卻成了偉大的真神話!」 ─金融時報

「一部非凡絕美的創作……在其最佳時刻展現壯麗風華。」 ─華盛頓郵報

「一本嚴酷、悲傷、細密構思而又美麗不已的書,充滿著英雄主義與希望。」─多倫多環球郵報

此書敘述中土世界第一紀元的故事,遠比《魔戒》的時代古老許多,《魔戒》中的人物,如愛隆與凱蘭崔爾,都在這齣古老的戲劇中扮演了重要的角色。

書名《精靈寶鑽》是「精靈寶鑽爭戰史」的簡稱,描寫最有才能的精靈--費諾所造三顆偉大寶石的故事;他將照亮諸神所居之地維林諾的雙聖樹的光芒收存到寶石之中。當黑暗之王魔苟斯摧毀了雙聖樹後,那璀璨的光芒唯獨活在精靈寶鑽中;魔苟斯奪走了寶石,將它們鑲在他的王冠上,他在中土大陸北方的堡壘,固若金湯的安格班中稱王。《精靈寶鑽》記載費諾與其族人背叛了諸神,流亡到了中土大陸,對魔苟斯這位巨大而可怕的敵人發動戰爭,寫下一連串精靈與人類絕望又英勇的故事。

本書除了最主要的「精靈寶鑽爭戰史」,還包含其他短篇:敘述創造之始的〈埃努的大樂章〉,描述諸神特性與力量的〈關於維拉與邁雅的記載〉,述說爭戰史之後的短篇〈努曼諾爾淪亡史〉,講述在第二紀元末努曼諾爾島上的王國沈淪滅亡的故事;最後,讓本書大功告成的短篇是〈魔戒與第三紀元〉。

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, illustrated throughout in colour by J.R.R. Tolkien himself and with the complete text printed in two colours.

The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashioned by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor. But the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within his iron crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth.

The Silmarillion is the history of the rebellion of Fëanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroism, against the great Enemy. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part.

The book also includes several shorter works: the Ainulindalë, a myth of the Creation, and the Valaquenta, in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor 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.

Tolkien could not publish The Silmarillion in his lifetime, as it grew with him, so he would leave it to his son, Christopher Tolkien, 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.

This definitive new edition includes, by way of an introduction, a letter written by Tolkien in 1951 which provides a brilliant exposition of the earlier Ages, and for the first time in its history is presented with J.R.R. Tolkien’s own paintings and drawings, which reveal the breathtaking grandeur and beauty of his vision of the First Age of Middle-earth.

作者介紹

J. R. R. Tolkien

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on the 3 January 1892 at Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State, but at the age of four he and his brother were taken back to England by their mother. After his father’s death the family moved to Sarehole, on the south-eastern edge of Birmingham. Tolkien spent a happy childhood in the countryside and his sensibility to the rural landscape can clearly be seen in his writing and his pictures.



His mother died when he was only twelve and both he and his brother were made wards of the local priest and sent to King Edward’s School, Birmingham, where Tolkien shone in his classical work. After completing a First in English at Oxford, Tolkien married Edith Bratt. He was also commissioned in the Lancashire Fusiliers and fought in the battle of the Somme. After the war, he obtained a post on the New English Dictionary and began to write the mythological and legendary cycle which he originally called The Book of Lost Tales but which eventually became known as The Silmarillion.



In 1920 Tolkien was appointed Reader in English Language at the University of Leeds which was the beginning of a distinguished academic career culminating with his election as Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford. Meanwhile Tolkien wrote for his children and told them the story of The Hobbit. It was his publisher, Stanley Unwin, who asked for a sequel to The Hobbit and gradually Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings, a huge story that took twelve years to complete and which was not published until Tolkien was approaching retirement. After retirement Tolkien and his wife lived near Oxford, but then moved to Bournemouth. Tolkien returned to Oxford after his wife’s death in 1971. He died on 2 September 1973 leaving The Silmarillion to be edited for publication by his son, Christopher.
