SUMMARY:The Silmarillion
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m. | Dinner Provided \nThis event is designated for University of Chicago graduate students. Other students interested in attending should contact William Hurley at whurley@lumenchristi.org. Students will receive a copy of the texts. \nPeter Thiel wants to live forever\, and he’s cited the works of JRR Tolkien as a justification: “why can’t we be elves?” But a careful reader of Tolkien’s works\, especially the cosmological and mythic stories in The Silmarillion\, knows that the answer to that question is very complicated. In this group\, we will discuss what Tolkien has to say about death\, mortality\, and suffering\, along with his rich worldbuilding and epic tales. \nSchedule:\n\nOct 16 – Week One (52 pages): Ainulindalë (pages 13-23)\, Quenta Silmarillion chapters 1-8 (pages 35-77)\nOct 23 – Week Two (52 pages): QS chapters 9-16 (78-130)\nOct 30 – Week Three (56 pages): QS chapters 17-19 (131-187)\nNov 6 – Week Four (49 pages): QS chapters 20-22 (188-237)\nNov 13 – Week Five (45 pages): QS chapters 23-24 (238-257)\, Akallabêth (257-283)
