Publisher : William Morrow; Second edition (November 15, 2004) Hardcover : 416 pagesItem Weight : 3.25 poundsDimensions : 7.38 x 1.37 x 9.63 inches The tales of The Silmarillion were the underlying inspiration and source of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imaginative writing; he worked on the book throughout his life but never brought it to a final form. Long preceding in its origins The Lord of the Rings, it is the story of the First Age of Tolkien’s world, the ancient drama to which characters in The Lord of the RIngs look back and in which some of them, such as Elrond and Galadriel, took part. The title Silmarillion is shortened from Quenta Silmarillion, « The History of the Silmarils, » the three great jewels created by Feanor, most gifted of the Elves, in which he imprisoned the light of the Two Trees that illumined Valinor, the land of the gods. When Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, destroyed the Trees, that light lived on only in the Silmarils; Morgoth seized them and set them in his crown, 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 people against the gods, their exile in Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroisim of Elves and Men, against the great Enemy. The book includes several other, shorter works beside The Silmarillion proper. Preceding it are « Ainulindale, » the myth of Creation, and « Valaquenta, » in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is set forth. After The Silmarillion is « Akallabeth, » the story of the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age; completing the volume is « Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age, » in which the events of The Lord of the Rings are treated in the manner of The Silmarillion. This new edition of The Silmarillion contains the revised and corrected « second edition » text and, by way of introduction, a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1951, which provides a brilliant exposition of his conception of the earlier Ages. It also contains almost fifty full-color illustrations by the artist Ted Nasmith, many of which appear for the first time.

Book 1: The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an ancient collection of spells, prayers and incantations designed to guide the departed through the perils of the underworld, ultimately ensuring eternal life. This beautifully illustrated edition contains images from the exquisite Papyrus of Ani, an ancient Egyptian scroll. Its accompanying hieroglyphic text has been translated by acclaimed Egyptologist E.A Wallis Budge, narrating the journey of Theban scribe Ani through the underworld. Book 2: This classic Buddhist text has its origins in the ‘treasure texts’, said to have been hidden away by Padmasambhava, the Lotus Guru, in Tibet in the 8th century AD so that they could be revealed at an appropriate later time. As a funerary text and guide to the afterlife, The Tibetan Book of the Dead was read aloud to the dying or recently deceased so that they could recognize the true nature of the mind and thus attain enlightenment and liberation from the suffering associated with the endless cycle of death and rebirth. This special collector’s edition is sumptuously illustrated in full color, translated by Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup and introduced by John Baldock.
