Abstract

Silmarillion je zbirka radova J. R. R. Tolkiena koju je nakon autorove smrti priredio i izdao njegov sin Christopher R. Tolkien godine 1977. Zbirka je to pripovjednih mitoloških tekstova u pet dijelova koji zajedno s njegovim najpoznatijim djelima Hobit i Gospodar prstenova čine svojevrsnu zaokruženu cjelinu. Silmarillion opisuje nastanak čitavog univerzuma i Međuzemlja, izmišljenoga Tolkienova svijeta, u kojem se odvijaju radnje njegovih dvaju navedenih romana. Naizgled jednostavno, Silmarillion je zapravo kompleksno djelo u kojemu se mogu primijetiti biblijski i epski utjecaji te utjecaji grčke i nordijske mitologije.
U radu će se predložiti moguća interpretacija djela Silmarillion i metodički pristup djelu. Iznijet će se kompozicija, elementi povijesne i fantastične građe te će se pokušati proučiti njegova povezanost s Biblijom i mitološko-epskim temama. Rad će u metodičkom djelu sadržavati prijedlog izvedbe nastavnog sata prema interpretativno-analitičkome sustavu i pisanu pripremu za nastavni sat književnosti. S obzirom na to da mnogi učenici za izbornu lektiru biraju Hobita i/ili Gospodara prstenova, izvedba ovog nastavnog sata može poslužiti kao uvod u ta djela i cjelokupan žanr fantastike te kao pokušaj da se učenici zainteresiraju za takvu građu.

Abstract (english)

The Silmarillion is a collection of J.R.R. Tolkien's works that was edited and published after the author's death by his son Christopher R. Tolkien in 1977. It is a collection of short, sometimes longer, narrative mythological texts in five parts, which form a whole together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, his most famous works. The Silmarillion describes the creation of the entire Tolkien's fictional universe and Middle-earth, in which the two mentioned works take place. Seemingly simple, the Silmarillion is actually a complex work where biblical, epic, as well as Greek and Norse mythology influences can be observed.
The paper will propose a possible interpretation of The Silmarillion and a methodical approach to it. It will present the composition of the work, elements of historical and fantastic structure, together with the attempt to connect The Silmarillion with Biblical and mythological-epic themes. In the methodological part, the work will contain a proposal for the lesson performance according to the interpretative-analytical system and a written preparation for the literature class. Given that many students choose The Hobbit and/or The Lord of the Rings as their elective reading, this proposal for the lesson performance can serve as an introduction to these works and the entire fantasy genre, and as an attempt to get the students interested in that type of genre.
