Pilla's Reading Corner: J.R.R. Tolkien - The Silmarillion
- by Daniel Pawlik
"And in that land I found what I had not indeed been seeking, but having found it I would not ever give it up." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
J.R.R. Tolkien's work, which was completed and published after his death. A great complement to the world of The Lord of the Rings, a collection of legends and myths that tell of the Elder Days.
Thanks to it, we can go back to the times of the war with Morgoth, the creation of the world by Eru, and the history of the Silmarils.
Proof that Tolkien built his world with great detail and grandeur.
Nothing bad will happen if we place "The Silmarillion" on the same shelf as Greek, Roman, Norse, or Egyptian Myths; I believe it deserves the same place in culture.
Now, let's see what readers on lubimyczytac.pl think about this book:
“
One of my favorite Tolkien books. The world presented, the multitude of characters, the poetic language. I lack words to describe the emotions I felt reading this work! I love it and recommend it to all high fantasy enthusiasts.

I mostly listened to the audiobook, but it was still an interesting and worthwhile collection of stories about all the events before The Lord of the Rings - the author outlined the world as if he were a chronicler who had gone to another world and wanted to tell what happened where he came from, well-drawn background of events, heroes, and the fight between good and evil.

This is not just a book. It is a work of a lifetime. The Bible of Middle-earth. Every page breathes genius, every story resonates with the echo of creation. Tolkien doesn't just write – he creates a reality where myth becomes truth, and language pulses with sacredness. I read with devout reverence, as if every letter were a gift.
I pay homage to the Master. There is no other work like it.

Small Bedroom Ideas – How to Make the Most of a Compact Bedroom
Some of the most memorable bedrooms aren't the biggest ones.

A compact bedroom doesn't need to feel like a compromise. It needs a plan.
