评分Beowulf, the oldest British literature ever discovered, is a heroic myth about the legendary experience of the warrior Beowulf. In Beowulf, the joy of success was transient. In the first battle against Grendel, Beowulf took one arm of Grendel and hung it h...
评分I like this translation a lot. virtually, the modern day English version seems to flow the same way the old English version does. However... the stroyline is too simple, compare to modern myth such lord of the rings or greek myth such as Iliad and Odyssey.

New York Times bestseller and winner of the Whitbread Award.
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. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in ?Beowulf? and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.

评分语言的优美是不用说的,读不懂原文,也没有发言权。赞颂英雄的诗歌不少,但是优秀的人物和英勇的故事总是值得知道的。Beowulf没有告诉Unferth他的剑没能派上用场,这点打动了我。
