Overview
Read an updated translation of the classic English epic poem, and discover what happens next in the two exciting sequels, all collected here in one edition.
About one and a half millennia ago, an anonymous author gave the worldĀ Beowulf, the first great epic written in what would become the English language. The poem follows the adventures of Beowulf, hero of the Geats, as he battles the monstrous Grendel, Grendelās fearsome mother, and a deadly dragon. After the hero meets his death, readers are left with the question: What will happen now? Without their champion, hero, and king, the Geats are defenseless against their enemies.
WithĀ The Beowulf Trilogy, author Christopher L.Ā Webber shares his own translation of the original epic and also answers the question of what happens next with two epic poems of his own. InĀ Beyond Beowulf, follow the Geats as they welcome a new leader, Wiglaf, the young warrior who aided Beowulf in his encounter with the dragon. He helps the tribe search or a new home while contending with threats from storms, trolls, and the Saxon army. Then, inĀ Yrfaās Tale, Webber looks beyond the warriorās viewpoint to give a perspective from Wiglafās wife and family, and the emotional toll of their struggle.
InĀ The Beowulf Trilogy, Webber gives readers a complete picture of Beowulfās world, a somber and magical land full of adventure and turmoil.
