The Old English epic poem Beowulf has an established reputation as a canonical text. And yet the original poem has remained inaccessible to all but experienced scholars of Old English. This book aims to present the poem to readers who want to know what makes it such a remarkable work of art, and why it is of such cultural significance. Most readers will only have encountered Beowulf through one of its many translations or adaptations; others have had to take on this unique survivor from a past era as a challenging translation exercise, part of their academic study of the poem. This book sidesteps scholarly debates about the poemâ ™s unknowns â “ its date, provenance or author â “ and focusses instead on its poetic artistry, its interleaving of heroic pasts and Christian present, and its poetâ ™s extraordinary breadth of reference, from biblical history to Old Norse myth. But the strange intricacies of Old English metre and poetic language are explained, and the poetâ ™s evocation of the ethics and material world of an imagined pre-Viking Scandinavia is explored. Beowulf: Poem, Poet and Hero follows the story of the poem through its many interwoven voices from different times and places, and the poem emerges as a work of reflective beauty, its human characters full of touching pathos and wisdom, its notorious monsters still speaking to our own societiesâ ™ abiding insecurities. The final section, on post-medieval responses to Beowulf, shows how the poem has been taken up as a European cultural icon. This book restores its status as a literary masterpiece.

The translation of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien was an early work, very distinctive in its mode, completed in 1926: he returned to it later to make hasty corrections, but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition is twofold, for there exists an illuminating commentary on the text of the poem by the translator himself, in the written form of a series of lectures given at Oxford in the 1930s; and from these lectures a substantial selection has been made, to form also a commentary on the translation in this book. From his creative attention to detail in these lectures there arises a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if he entered into the imagined past: standing beside Beowulf and his men shaking out their mail-shirts as they beached their ship on the coast of Denmark, listening to the rising anger of Beowulf at the taunting of Unferth, or looking up in amazement at Grendel s terrible hand set under the roof of Heorot. But the commentary in this book includes also much from those lectures in which, while always anchored in the text, he expressed his wider perceptions.He looks closely at the dragon that would slay Beowulf snuffling in baffled rage and injured greed when he discovers the theft of the cup ; but he rebuts the notion that this is a mere treasure story , just another dragon tale . He turns to the lines that tell of the burying of the golden things long ago, and observes that it is the feeling for the treasure itself, this sad history that raises it to another level. The whole thing is sombre, tragic, sinister, curiously real. The treasure is not just some lucky wealth that will enable the finder to have a good time, or marry the princess. It is laden with history, leading back into the dark heathen ages beyond the memory of song, but not beyond the reach of imagination. Sellic Spell, a marvellous tale , is a story written by Tolkien suggesting what might have been the form and style of an Old English folk-tale of Beowulf, in which there was no association with the historical legends of the Northern kingdoms.

Beowulf is the greatest surviving work of literature in Old English, unparalleled in its epic grandeur and scope. It tells the story of the heroic Beowulf and of his battles, first with the monster Grendel, who has laid waste to the great hall of the Danish king Hrothgar, then with Grendel s avenging mother, and finally with a dragon that threatens to devastate his homeland. Through its blend of myth and history, Beowulf vividly evokes a twilight world in which men and supernatural forces live side by side. And it celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in a transient world. Alexander s translation is marked by a conviction that it is possible to be both ambitious and faithful [and] ...communicates the poem with a care which goes beyond fidelity-to-meaning and reaches fidelity of implication. May it go on ... to another half-million copies. - Tom Shippey, Bulletin of the International Association of University Professors of English

A GUARDIAN, NEW STATESMAN, SPECTATOR, AND IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A new, feminist translation of Beowulf by the author of the acclaimed novel The Mere Wife. Nearly twenty years after Seamus Heaneyâ ™s translation of Beowulf â ” and fifty years after the translation that continues to torment students around the world â ” there is a radical new verse interpretation of the epic poem by Maria Dahvana Headley, which brings to light elements never before translated into English. A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. These familiar components of the epic poem are seen with a novelistâ ™s eye towards gender, genre, and history. Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment â ” of powerful men seeking to become more powerful and one woman seeking justice for her child â ” but this version brings new context to an old story. While crafting her contemporary adaptation, Headley unearthed significant shifts lost over centuries of translation.

Composed towards the end of the first millennium, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf is one of the great Northern epics and a classic of European literature. In his new translation, Seamus Heaney has produced a work which is both true, line by line, to the original poem, and an expression, in its language and music, of something fundamental to his own creative gift.The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on, physically and psychically exposed, in that exhausted aftermath. It is not hard to draw parallels between this story and the history of the twentieth century, nor can Heaney s Beowulf fail to be read partly in the light of his Northern Irish upbringing. But it also transcends such considerations, telling us psychological and spiritual truths that are permanent and liberating.

The instant New York Times bestselling author of Bad Mormon and breakout star of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City returns with a hilarious, illustrative, and deeply reflective book about life and love as a former Mormon, mother, and reality TV star.In Bad Mormon, Heather Gay pulled back the veil on her orthodox adolescence and marriage in the Mormon Church, and the painful process of leaving it all behind. Becoming a successful business owner and reality TV star gave the single mom of three a second lease on life. After years of living in an insular bubble, Heather emerged bright-eyed, eager to take on the world…no matter how ill-equipped her upbringing may have left her. Now, in this provocative and laugh-out-loud funny book, the mother of three proves that she isn’t just a Bad Mormon; she’s also a Good Time Girl! With her “thoughtful, smart, and funny” (Kirkus Reviews) writing, Heather recounts the humorous trysts, mishaps, and serendipitous success she’s found as a life-long reveler in all things indulgent. Coming off the heels of the most-watched RHOSLC episode of all time, Heather gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the receipts, proof, timeline, and screenshots of that fateful night in Bermuda.

Kniha - autor Jan Čermák, 464 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Nejstarší z velkých básnických skladeb anglické literatury vznikla patrně na přelomu osmého a devátého století v anglosaské Anglii (jejíž dějiny se tradičně rámují lety 449–1066) a dochovala se v jediném rukopisu z doby kolem roku 1000. Děj skladby vyrůstá ze starogermánských lidových pověstí a využívá motivů z mýtů i povětšinou ústně předávaných hrdinských písní (řada z nich se objevuje i v literárních památkách germánského Severu po roce 1200). Osu děje představují tři hrdinské souboje starogermánského válečníka Béowulfa, který dal básnické skladbě jméno: nejprve s obrem Grendelem, posléze jeho matkou a nakonec s ohnivým drakem. Děj skladby zasadil její neznámý tvůrce do meditativního rámce, jehož tématem je vztah anglického křesťana sklonku prvního tisíciletí ke vznešené, avšak pohanské starogermánské minulosti.

IN THE RHODODENDRONS is vital consolation, amidst the amidst. It s a triumph, an instant classic. Christle has become one of our art s most urgent living practitioners Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.On a recent visit to London s Kew Gardens, Christle s mother revealed details of a painful story from her past that took place there, under circumstances that strangely paralleled Heather s own sexual assault during a visit to London as a teenager.Her private, British mother s revelation - a rare burst of vulnerability in their strained relationship - propels Christle down a deep and destabilising rabbit hole of investigation, as she both reads and wanders the streets of her mother s past, peeling back the layers of family mythologies, England s sanctioned historical narratives, and her own buried memories. Over the course of several trips to London, with and without her mother, she visits her family s birthday hill in Kew Gardens, the now-public homes of the Bloomsbury set, the archives of the British Library, and the backyard garden where Woolf wrote her final sentence. All the while, she finds that Woolf and her writings not only constantly seem to connect and overlap with her mother s story, but also that the author becomes a kind of vital intermediary: a sometimes confidante, sometimes mentor, sometimes distancing lens through which Christle can safely observe her mother and their experiences.Wide-ranging and prismatic, the fruit of an insatiably curious, delightfully brilliant mind, In the Rhododendrons is part memoir, part biography of Virginia Woolf, part reckoning with the things we cannot change and the ways we can completely transform, if we dare. This utterly original book will stir readers into new ways of seeing their own lives.

From international bestselling author Heather Morris comes the breath-taking conclusion to The Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy. When they are girls, Cibi, Magda and Livia make a promise to their father - that they will stay together, no matter what. Years later, at just 15 years old, Livia is ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Cibi, only 19 herself, remembers their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister, or die with her. In their hometown in Slovakia, 17-year-old Magda hides, desperate to evade the barbaric Nazi forces. But it is not long before she is captured and condemned to Auschwitz. In the horror of the death camp, these three beautiful sisters are reunited. Though traumatised by their experiences, they are together. They make another promise: that they will live.

Determined to begin again, they embark on a voyage of renewal, to the new Jewish homeland, Israel. Rich in vivid detail, and beautifully told, Three Sisters will break your heart, but leave you amazed and uplifted by the courage and fierce love of three sisters, whose promise to each other kept them alive.

Od edenu po armagedon. Před 6000 lety první světová civilizace, Sumerové, zaznamenávala příběhy o podivných nebeských bozích, kteří podle sumerské víry sestoupili z nebe, aby stvořili lidstvo. Tito bohové, známí jako Anunnakové, jsou historiky hlavního proudu velmi často opomíjení. Samotní Sumerové jsou tak záhadní, že vědci jejich původ charakterizovali slovy sumerský problém . Z našich učebnic dějepisu se toho o starých Sumerech moc nedozvíme, a proto se objevují četné alternativní teorie. Mnoho lidí se tak zamýšlí nad tím, jaký je skutečný příběh Sumerů a jejich nadpozemských bohů, Anunnaků. Dr. Lynnová mapuje při své práci vývoj těchto mezopotamských bohů na starověkém Blízkém Východě, analyzuje sumerské náboženství, mýty, umění a symbolismus a zabývá se otázkami: • Kdo jsou Anunnakové? • Jak přesné jsou současné překlady sumerských textů a jak můžeme vědět jistě, komu věřit? • Existuje spojení mezi Anunnaky a ostatními bohy dávnověku? • Kde jsou Anunnakové teď? Bude jejich případný návrat znamenat konec světa? Dr. Heather Lynnová je historička, rebelující archeoložka a zastánkyně klasického vzdělání. Ve dne profesorka humanitních věd, v noci zapálená hledačka pravdy. Heather jde za svým životním posláním objevovat a sdílet ztracenou moudrost dávnověku a zpochybňovat obecně přijímané pojetí dějin v našich učebnicích dějepisu.

Lidé se nerodí jako nepopsaný list papíru, na který společnost píše podle své libovůle. Příroda nám dala do vínku povahu, s níž musíme umět pracovat. Zároveň jsou lidé úžasně flexibilní ve schopnosti adaptovat se na neznámé a využívat nově nalezené příležitosti. Ovšem tato schopnost má své limity. Průvodce lovce-sběrače po 21. století pojednává o výzvách hyper-novosti moderní společnosti a o tom, jak to, co v minulosti vedlo k ohromnému pokroku lidstva, může současného člověka vést k životu, který je zesláblý, zmatený a nezdravý. Heather Heyingová a Bret Weinstein jsou evoluční biologové, kteří nám připomínají, že ignorovat lidskou povahu se nevyplácí, pokud je naším cílem, aby společnost udržitelně prospívala do budoucna. V knize rozkrývají delikátní snoubení přírody a kultury a zabývají se praktickými důsledky evolučních východisek na celou řadu oblastí - výchova, dospívání, škola, vztahy a mnoho dalších. Průvodce lovce-sběrače po 21. století je příběh člověka převyprávěný krásným jazykem a s dojemnými metaforami. Heyingová a Weinstein jsou učenci v tom nejlepším slova smyslu: jsou příkladem intelektuální pokory, sofistikovaného myšlení a lásky k učení, jež by to nejlepší humanitní vzdělání mělo pěstovat. Každý, kdo vychovává nebo vzdělává děti nebo kdo chce změnit společenské systémy, by si měl nejprve přečíst tuto knihu. -Jonathan Haidt, autor knih Morálka lidské mysli a Hypotéza štěstí Bret a Heather jsou vysoce uznávanými evolučními biology, velmi prozíravými mysliteli a popularizátory, a jak dokládá nechvalná událost, jíž je vystavila škola, kde učili, je pro ně důležitější vědecká pravda než politická korektnost. -Robert Sapolsky, autor knihy Chování: Biologie člověka v dobrém i ve zlém

What can the fall of Rome teach us about the decline of the West today? A historian and a political economist, both experts in their field, investigate Over the last three centuries, the West rose to dominate the planet. Then, suddenly, around the turn of the millennium, history reversed. Faced with economic stagnation and internal political division, the West has found itself in rapid decline.This is not the first time the global order has witnessed such a dramatic rise and fall. The Roman Empire followed a similar arc from dizzying power to disintegration - a fact that is more than a strange historical coincidence. In Why Empires Fall, historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley use this Roman past to think anew about the contemporary West, its state of crisis, and what paths we could take out of it.In this exceptional, transformative intervention, Heather and Rapley explore the uncanny parallels - and productive differences - between the two cases, moving beyond the familiar tropes of invading barbarians and civilizational decay to learn new lessons from ancient history. From 399 to 1999, the life cycles of empires, they argue, sow the seeds of their inevitable destruction. The era of western global domination has reached its end - so what comes next?
