Probably the best way to read this rather demanding piece. The translation is very nicely done. Especially as each chapter starts with a short summary of what is going to happen in today's language And throughout the text unfamiliar words are explained at the page boarders right next to it.
The story itself is rather well-known I think :)

This showed me that I‘m not a poetry person. Was a nice change for once, but I wouldn‘t read it again. Story itself is interesting and captivating, but without the summaries at the beginning of each chapter I would be lost.

Interessantes Epos über den Helden Beowulf, der die Kraft von 30 Männern besitzt. Durch die Erklärungen am Rand der Ausgabe ist es leicht verständlich.
Ich habe das Buch gelesen, um das Hintergrundwissen zu haben, damit ich die Neuerzählung "Grendel" von John Gardener lesen kann. Darauf freue ich mich nach Beenden des Epos sehr.
