Sobre este artículo
Faber & Faber. First edition published by Faber and Faber in 1999. This is a near fine copy. The jacket is in excellent condition with very little if any wear. It has not been price clipped and there is no fading. The blue cloth boards have no marks. The front two corners are gently pushed. The pages have started to yellow as is common with this title. Overall a near fine copy and rare to find signed by the Nobel Laureate poet, to the title page without dedication. A key Seamus Heaney title. His translation of the great anglo-saxon epic poem. It has become increasingly rare to find signed. [Brandes & Durkan A72]. . Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1999.
Sinopsis
Beowulf, composed between the seventh and tenth centuries, 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 returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid battle against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and living on in the exhausted aftermath. Heaney's celebrated translation honours what is remote and intuits what is uncannily familiar, at the end of the twentieth century, in this founding masterpiece of English poetry. Now, for the first time, the Old English text - which survived only in a single scorched manuscript, now held in the British Museum - can be read in conjunction with the translation on facing pages. Includes bibliographical references (p. 251-255).
