Garcia Santiago - Beowulf - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Santiago Garci a and David Rubin unite to bring forward the myth of Beowulf which has endured for a thousand years inspired an epic poem become a foundational piece of English literature and influenced generations of authors: from J. R. R. Tolkien and Seamus Heaney to a multitude of Hollywood screenwriters. Beowulf tells of the tale of a Scandinavian hero in lands that would become what is now Denmark and Sweden. A monster Grendel has arrived in the kingdom of the Danes devouring its men and women for over a decade until Beowulf arrives to save them. Garci a and Rubin faithfully follow the original story for a new version that is neither revisionist nor postmodern but captures the tone and important details of the poem translating its potent epic resonance and melancholy into a contemporary comic that isn't standard swords and sorcery or heroic fantasy fare but rather an ancient story with a modern perspective that remains respectful of the source material.
