Beyond Beowulf - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Beowulf, the oldest saga in the English language, ends with Beowulf's death and premonitions of disaster as his people face their enemies alone. For over a thousand years, the world has waited to hear what happened next. Beyond Beowulf provides the answer. Author Christopher L. Webber provides a flashback to one of Beowulf's adventures in a voyage to the New World and an epic battle with a sea monster. In search of security, Beowulf's people embark on a sea voyage that leads to encounters with trolls and hostile tribes as well as a peaceful reception by monastic communities along the English coast. But this is more than an adventure yarn; along the way the text also confronts us with the very modern problem of refugees and puts forward a poignant appeal for peace.
