“Beowulf” is one of the oldest works of English literature, known for the only manuscript that is dated to the beginning of the XI century.
A millennium, a manuscript, which is filled with fire, tells about one hero – Beowulf – and about his struggle against a mythical monster named Grandel.
This great work inspires people today, including thanks to modern translations: one of them in 1895 was carried out by the poet and artist William Morris, and in 1999 Shemas Khini made a new translation that became a bestseller in English -speaking countries.
This book describes the epic adventures of Beowulf, focusing on the most exciting episodes of ancient tradition. We are moving back, in harsh times, when death was waiting for a person at every step and there were no up to romantic experiences that have bloomed later, in the Middle Ages. Open this book and from the first pages, plunge into the world of strong people and ruthless monsters.
John Hou illustrations have an epic scope and incredible detail.
