xxx, 213 hal.; 21 cm The mighty hero triumphs over evil and saves the people from utter destruction. Sound familiar? Of course it does, it’s the basic plot line of the cliche hero’s tale that everybody knows. However, all of these tales most likely spawned from Beowulf, the oldest surviving English poem written in Anglo - Saxon around the 11th Century A.D. Beowulf is an epic poem that begins with Hrothgar, King of the Danes. Hrothgar’s people live in peace when they are attacked and threatened by a monster named Grendel, who kills off the Danes everynight in their mead-hall, Heorot. So in comes Beowulf son of Ecgtheow, a mighty warrior from Geatland who promises to defeat Grendel and bring prosperity back to the Danes. Beowulf is an amazing poem as it not only tells the classic tale of the epic hero and his journey, but contains hidden meanings aside from literal. Beowulf has no known author, but contains elements of factual history, which tells us this may be a tale describing actual events. This piece of literature is a traditional master piece and should be preserved as an example of how words and tales can evolve over decades. beowulf puisi inggris 821 9780393320978 PERPUSTAKAAN SMA REGINA PACIS SURAKARTA HUMANIS DAN BERWAWASAN GLOBAL - NPP : 3372011e2000003 /JAM BUKA Senin - Jumat : Open : 06.45 WIB /Close : 14.45 WIB / SABTU (Minggu ke 2) Open : 07.00 WIB /Close : 12.00 WIB 821 HEA b 24SR02813 My Library (800) 821 HEA b photo_6269481534725667355_y.jpg.jpg 16196 2024-02-29 06:55:55 2024-02-29 10:12:32 machine generated
