Boewulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem

by Unknown, John Lesslie Hall (Translator)

This work is addressed to two classes of readers. From both of these alike the translator begs sympathy and co-operation. The Anglo-Saxon scholar he hopes to please by adhering faithfully to the original. The student of English literature he aims to interest by giving him, in modern garb, the most ancient epic of our race.

pues al final se muere, hubiera estado bien si el cabrón de Altuna no hubiera destripado el final como 76 veces. una pena q Beowulf no se detone a la madre de Grendel y q el dragon al final se lo lleve a la tumba al pobre Beowulf. se carga a un dragón como con 70 años de edad y con una banda de fecas de la ostia todo hay q decirlo, méritos para el pobre hombre

So technically I did not read this whole book. Only eight popular parts from it but I need it to count because I am way behind on my reading goal. My review is that I liked it and thought it was interesting. The fight with Grendel’s mother felt like a fever dream.
