Beowulf

Oh, this legendary Bee Wolf, better known as Beowulf! Everyone has heard of him, but managing to master one of the most important texts of Old English literature is not something everyone can do. Because reading such an epic poem on your own, even in translation, is not an easy task. Kirill Zakharov and Alexey Oleinikov have done it for you. The world of the work is filled with battles, feats, and feasts. It is historically accurate, but at the same time generously seasoned with mythological motifs. The book will help you navigate this blend of facts and fictions thanks to brief and concise literary comments. And afterward, having absorbed the spirit of the Old English poem, you can enact a scene from Beowulf's life— in a modern way.
