The Story of Beowulf Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The Story of Beowulf, first printed in 1815, is an epic Old English poem that dates back to between the eighth and eleventh centuries. The author is unknown, yet The Story of Beowulf is often regarded as one of the single most important works in Old English literature. The poem tells the tale of the protagonist Beowulf, prince of the Geats, and his constant desire to prove his strength. With its exalted poetics and incredible world-building, The Story of Beowulf has inspired readers and writers for centuries. Among some of the most famous is undoubtedly J.R.R. Tolkien-author of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, both of which were heavily influenced by this classic epic. LARGE PRINT EDITION. A Large Print Edition includes text at a size much larger than a typical paperback. The biggest difference in a Large Print Book is the size of the text, which is much larger than a standard print edition. This larger text makes for an easier reading experience, especially for readers with less-than-perfect eyesight. NEW BOOK. NEW READING. NEW JOY.
