J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings set the standard for the fantasy genre, influencing books, movies, and more. While some may see Tolkien's work as childish compared to darker tales like Game of Thrones, The Silmarillion tells the story of Túrin Turambar, a hero as dark and complex as any in modern fantasy.
Túrin's life is filled with tragedy and revenge, leading to a series of devastating events. His story delves into themes of bloodshed, pain, and despair, far darker than the sanitized battles of The Lord of The Rings. Túrin's tale reveals the depth and maturity of Tolkien's writing, offering a tragic narrative that rivals the best of literature.
