Jitsusama: The Silmarillion is an essential book to better understand the occurrences surrounding the Children of Hurin. It also contains a slightly shorter version of the tale.
Ludi_Ling: For those less interested in the narrative of epic fantasy fiction, and more in the mythology, history and construction of imaginary worlds, both books serve as interesting and instructive reads.
Les Premiers Jours du Monde étaient à peine passés quand Fëanor, le plus doué des elfes, créa les trois Silmarils. Ces bijoux renfermaient la Lumière des Deux Arbres de Valinor. Morgoth, le premier Prince de la Nuit, était encore sur la Terre du Milieu, et il fut fâché d'apprendre que la Lumière allait se perpétuer. alors il enleva les Silmarils, les fit sertir dans son diadème et garder dans la forteresse d'Angband. Les elfes prirent les armes pour reprendre les joyaux et ce fut la première de toutes les guerres. Longtemps, longtemps après, lors de la Guerre de l'Anneau, Elrond et Galadriel en parlaient encore.

At its best Tolkien's posthumous revelation of his private mythology is majestic, a work held so long and so power fully in the writer's imagination that it overwhelms the reader. Like Tolkien's other books, The Silmarillion presents a doomed but heroic view of creation that may be one of the reasons why a generation growing up on the thin gruel of television drama, and the beardless cynicism of Mad magazine, first found J.R.R. Tolkien so rich and wonderful.
If "The Hobbit" is a lesser work that the Ring trilogy because it lacks the trilogy's high seriousness, the collection that makes up "The Silmarillion" stands below the trilogy because much of it contains only high seriousness; that is, here Tolkien cares much more about the meaning and coherence of his myth than he does about these glories of the trilogy: rich characterization, imagistic brilliance, powerfully imagined and detailed sense of place, and thrilling adventure. Not that these qualities are entirely lacking here.

There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made.

"And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its utternmost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined."
Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that come down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death life that endures.

In the twilight of autumn it sailed out of Mithlond, until the seas of the Bent World fell away beneath it, and the winds of the round sky troubled it no more, and borne upon the high airs above the mists of the world it passed into the Ancient West, and an end was come for the Eldar of story and of song.
[Foreword] In the difficult and doubtful task o preparing the text of the book I was very greatly assisted by Guy Kay, who worked with me in 1974-1975. Christopher Tolkien
Here ends The Silmarillion: If it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred; and if any change shall come and the Marring be amended, Manwë and Varda may know; but they have not revealed it, and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.

This LT Work is for The Silmarillion, a posthumous and highly edited publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's over-arching work on Middle-earth.
Note "Middle-earth" is a word used for the central continent on Tolkien's fictional world, and also a word used for the whole of that world and its mythology.
The book has five chapters.
Chapter 1: Creation myth. Chapter 2: Creation myth continued. Chapter 3: The vast bulk of the book, legends of Mankind and the Elves from the First Age of the world. Chapter 4: A story from the Second Age. Chapter 5: The Third Age which includes the story of Isildur and the Ring, plus a very concise retelling of the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Please do not combine The Silmarillion with The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, or with any other Tolkien work.
Books with titles that include the words "The Later Silmarillion" (Morgoth's Ring, The War of the Jewels) are different works and should not be combined with this.
Unfinished Tales is a different work and should not be combined with this. The Book of Lost Tales is a different work and should not be combined with this. (Both are retellings of the same tales from The Silmarillion but are different works.)

Je l'ai mis de côté afin de m'y remettre plus tard.
J'en ferais une critique le moment venu. (
