A number-one New York Times bestseller when it was originally published, THE SILMARILLION is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, a work that he could not publish in his lifetime because it grew with him. Its origins stretch back to a time long before THE HOBBIT. But THE HOBBIT was caught up in what Tolkien called "the branching acquisitive theme" he began in THE SILMARILLION, and eventually THE LORD OF THE RINGS emerged from this as well. Tolkien considered THE SILMARILLION his most important work, and, though it was published last and posthumously, this great collection of tales and legends clearly sets the stage for all his other works. This is the story of the creation of the world and the happenings of the First Age, 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 three Silmarils were jewels created by Feanor, the most gifted of the Elves. Within them was imprisoned the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before the Trees themselves were destroyed by Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. Thereafter, the unsullied Light of Valinor lived on only in the Silmarils, but they were seized by Morgoth and set in his crown, which was guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. THE SILMARILLION is the history of the rebellion of Feanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all their heroism, against the great Enemy. The book includes several other, shorter works in addition to THE SILMARILLION. Preceding it are "The Ainulindale," a myth of the Creation, and "The Valaquenta," in which the nature and power of the gods is set forth. After THE SILMARILLION comes "The Akallabeth," a tale of the downfall of the kingdom of Numeno, and finally "Of the Rings of Power," the connecting link to THE LORD OF THE RINGS. This second edition features a number of minor textual corrections along with a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien describing his intentions for the work, written more than twenty-five years before its eventual publication. As described by Christopher Tolkien in the preface, it serves as a brilliant exposition of his conception of the earlier Ages of Middle-earth.
这个版本是台湾联经出版社出版的,此版本非大陆译林出版社的版本 看到这么多的差评,是在不忍心,特此上来说明。 联经的版本翻译的非常好,语言也很优美,千万不要弄混淆了呀 但是非常可惜的是在国内找不到这个版本的书,淘宝上的代购价格比原版都贵,所以索性买了英文版本的。...
评分在忙论文的时候看完这本书,总是看了一段后红肿着眼下楼买饭,满脑子精灵和艾代英,是楼管阿姨眼中的怪咖。始终认为,能触动读者内心最柔软部分的书,就是可爱的,书因感人而可爱。 打算忙完这段后马上看第二遍,即那本据说封面很蛋疼但翻译更优质的邓版。看李尧这个版本...
评分读了很多<<译林》,每期有个长篇,几乎最后都出了单行本,发现翻译是每下愈况。自此,《译林》不买了,那些单行本就更算了。 上他们的网站,等写完评论,他告诉你时间到了,你得重新登录,换个方法,写完COPY,结果不能COPY,倒。BYE-BYE 吧,您哪!
评分这是一则与其说是歌颂英雄主义与希望的神话,不如说是一部书写邪恶构成的哲学之书,虽然结局自然是英雄们取胜,然而在托尔金编织的这一神话体系当中,邪恶注定轮回不休。这也是一本黑暗基调的书,托尔金让我们了解了邪恶的本源、形式、结局,此为阅读本书最大的收获与最...
评分我买之前对版本上网问过,貌似之前的翻译版本已经烂的登峰造极了。 所以一直等邓嘉宛的这版,一出就马上去亚马逊买了,本人虽然不如好多大大对魔戒这么了如指掌,不过也算是有一点了解了吧,看起来挺好的,大部分翻译人名和地名虽然有一些出入,不过可以接受吧,个别单词不好翻...
