Представляем вашему вниманию книгу "Beowulf".

It is a tale that has been retold countless times through the centuries and here, in a new paperback edition illustrated by a noted Tolkien artist, the mighty Beowulf is well set to capture new legions of followers. This contemporary retelling of the ancient epic follows the mythic hero from his disarming of the gruesome Grendel to his sword battle with the monster's sea hag mother to his final, fiery showdown with an avenging dragon. Retold by Nicky Raven.

Never a greater one Of earls o'er the earth have I had a sight of Than is one of your number, a hero in armor. The epic poem Beowulf- the most important surviving piece of Anglo-Saxon literature - tells the tale of a renowned warrior and his battles with mythical beasts across the Scandinavian world. Spanning Beowulf's proud and adventurous life, the poem chronicles his fight with the monster Grendel in aid of the Danish King Hrothgar; his undersea struggle with Grendel's vengeful mother; and fifty years later, as king of Geatland, his final confrontation with a mightily annoyed dragon. Entertaining and epic, Beowulf is at its heart a riveting and lyrical adventure story.

Beowulf is one of the earliest extant poems in a modern European language, composed in England before the Norman Conquest. As a social document this great epic poem is invaluable-reflecting a feudal world of heroes and monsters, blood and victory, life and death. As a work of art, it is unique. Beowulf rings with beauty, power, and artistry that have kept it alive for a thousand years. The noble simplicity of Beowulf's anonymous Anglo-Saxon singer is recaptured in this vivid translation by Burton Raffel. Translated and with an Introduction by Burton Raffel and an Afterword by Roberta Frank.

Of unknown date, and surviving in a tenth-century manuscript, Beowulf is the tale of a young Geatish hero and his struggle with three deadly foes, beginning with the dread monster Grendel, who has been devouring warriors in the hall of the Danish King in their sleep. The most important Old English poem, and the first known major poem written in a European vernacular, Beowulf is a unique and compelling mix of sixth-century historical events, Christian commentary, Germanic myth and Anglo-Saxon culture. The poem is presented here in a dual-text format with a new translation by multi-award-winning translator J.G. Nichols.

Collection dirigee par Michel Zink La collection Lettres gothiques se propose d’ouvrir au public le plus large un acces a la fois direct, aise et sur, a la litterature du Moyen Age. Un acces direct en mettant sous les yeux du lecteur le texte original, un acces aise grace a la traduction en francais moderne proposee en regard, a l’introduction et a des notes nombreuses. Un acces sur grace au soin dont font l’objet la presentation du texte et son commentaire. La collection Lettres gothiques offre ainsi un panorama representatif de l’ensemble de la litterature medievale. Poeme en vieil anglais des environs de l’an mil, Beowulf est le plus ancien long poeme heroique qui nous soit parvenu integralement dans une langue europeenne autre que le latin. Il s’inscrit peut-etre dans une tradition beaucoup plus ancienne encore, puisque Beowulf est presente comme le neveu d’un chef scandinave dont la mort vers 520 est historiquement attestee. Prince modele, fidele a ses souverains et a ses engagements, il affronte des forces mauvaises, ogres et dragons. Il meurt, a la fois victime et vainqueur du dragon, en protecteur de son peuple. La societe decrite, et verifiee par l’archeologie, est paienne, mais le poeme est chretien. La celebration en anglais d’un heros scandinave, l’eloge d’un prince paien par un poete chretien, le melange de fabuleux et d’historique, l’entrelacement des episodes, le style deliberement traditionnel expliquent la fascination exercee par ce chef-d’?uvre. Depuis que sa valeur litteraire a ete reconnue au xixe siecle et sa lecon de courage reaffirmee en 1936 par Tolkien, l’auteur du Seigneur des anneaux, les medias, surtout anglo-saxons, ne cessent de l’exploiter. Ce volume, qui donne a la fois le texte original et une traduction nouvelle d’Andre Crepin, permet au public francophone de le decouvrir.

The finest literary work passed down to us from Anglo-Saxon times, Beowulf celebrates the existence of heroism in a dark world of feuds, violence, and uncertainty. Set in the legendary Scandinavian past, Beowulf comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing the terrifying monster Grendel and its vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulf courageously prepares for another great battle when a fiery dragon threatens his own kingdom. This acclaimed translation contains a critical introduction, a full index of names, and extensive notes.
