Beowulf

"Beowulf" – an epic poem created at the turn of the 7th–8th centuries, and one of the most significant texts of Old English literature. Its only surviving manuscript has almost miraculously made it to our days, narrowly escaping destruction in... a fire in 1731.

This is a marvelous world where wise and generous leaders rule, their warriors feast in halls sparkling with light, and heroes challenge giants and dragons – and win at the cost of their own lives. It is not surprising that J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by the plot and characters of "Beowulf" when creating the universe of "The Lord of the Rings".

The book presents the first and only complete translation of the poem into Russian from Old English by Vladimir Tikhomirov. The edition opens with an introductory article by Doctor of Historical Sciences Elena Alexandrovna Melnikova.
