Recenzii

Michael Alexander is much the best translator from Old English. His Penguin Beowulf is much to be recommended

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath.
