New York Times bestseller and winner of the Whitbread Award.
Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf 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 then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in ?Beowulf? and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.
謝默斯·希尼(Seamus Heaney,1939—2013)愛爾蘭詩人。生於愛爾蘭北部德裏郡毛斯邦縣一個虔信天主教、世代務農的傢庭。希尼不僅是詩人,還是一位詩學專傢。1995年獲得諾貝爾文學奬。他的諾貝爾奬演講《歸功於詩》(Crediting Poetry,1996)也是一篇重要詩論。他還寫過一個劇本。希尼把古英語史詩《貝奧武夫》(Beowulf,2000)譯成現代英語,轟動一時。是公認的當今世界最好的英語詩人和天纔的文學批評傢。希尼自小接受正規的英國教育,1961年以第一名的優異成績畢業於貝爾法斯特女王大學英文係。畢業後當過一年中學教師,同時大量閱讀愛爾蘭和英國的現代詩歌,從中尋找將英國文學傳統和德裏郡鄉間生活經曆結閤起來的途徑。1966年,以詩集《一位自然主義者之死》一舉成名。1966年到1972年,希尼在母校任現代文學講師,親曆瞭北愛爾蘭天主教徒為爭取公民權舉行示威而引起的暴亂。2013年8月30日,愛爾蘭詩人謝默斯·希尼逝世,終年74歲。
Epic for a rainy day, which, one would imagine, has gone into mourning for the death of the king.
評分行瞭這學期的reading list全是這些....
評分在火車上讀完瞭《貝奧武甫》。一群人把青春都浪費在說廢話、打怪和報仇互殺上瞭。還是當妖怪比較有齣息,妖怪從來不說廢話。
評分我果然理解無能。
評分蠢
Beowulf, the oldest British literature ever discovered, is a heroic myth about the legendary experience of the warrior Beowulf. In Beowulf, the joy of success was transient. In the first battle against Grendel, Beowulf took one arm of Grendel and hung it h...
評分本书是英语世界最古老、最长的一部较完整的文学作品,所以在英语文学中的地位不言而喻。文章虽成书较早,但也已经展现出了作者丰富的想象力,对抗沼泽恶魔,勇斗会喷火的巨龙,格局宏大,所以是一部英雄史诗。但也正因为其最古老的历史地位,而造成了我个人认为的全书...
評分第一次也估计是我最后一次读Beowulf是在sophomore的literature movement,当时看到老师发下来那一本薄薄是小册子还暗中颇为欣喜,不料其中满满的古英语和方言使得我那两个星期都在哀嚎中度过。 Beowulf的故事主线无非是男主一路打怪升级,从小反派到小反派的妈妈,最后打败大Bo...
