Ergebnis für "Beowulf" in Science Fiction & Fantasy

Im ältesten Heldenepos des Nordens entfaltet sich die Welt des frühen Mittelalters, in der Mut, Ehre und das Ringen mit dem Schicksal im Zentrum stehen. Der Held Beowulf kämpft gegen das menschenfressende Monster Grendel, dessen rachsüchtige Mutter und schließlich gegen einen Feuer speienden Drachen – ein Dreiklang heroischer Prüfungen, der das Ende einer Ära markiert. Diese Erzählung beeinflusste nicht nur die englische Literatur maßgeblich, sondern inspirierte auch J. R. R. Tolkien, der selbst ein herausragender Kenner des Beowulf -Epos war.

Stephen Mitchell's marvelously clear and vivid rendering recreates the robust masculine music of the original. It both hews closely to the Old English and captures its wild energy and vitality, not just as a deep "work of literature" but also as a rousing entertainment that can still stir our feelings and rivet our attention today, after more than a thousand years. This new translation - spare, sinuous, vigorous in its narration, and translucent in its poetry - makes a masterpiece accessible to everyone.
