معرفی کتاب  : ( Beowulf ) حماسه ی بیوولف

بیوولف (Beowulf ) که در اواخر هزاره اول نوشته شده ، روایتی مرثیه ای از ماجراهای بیوولف Beowulf ، شخصیت قهرمان اسکاندیناوی است که مردم دانمارکی را از دست هیولایی ظاهرا شکست ناپذیر به نام گرندل (Grendel) و بعد از او از دست از مادرش نجات می دهد. سپس به کشور خودش برمی گردد و در دوران پیری در جنگی سخت علیه اژدها می میرد.

این کتاب شعر در مورد مواجهه با هیولا ، شکست دادن او  ، و سپس ادامه زندگی در دوران پیری و خستگیست. در طول این داستان ، شیموس هینی ، بزنده جایزه نوبل ادبیات ، با توجه به آنچه وی در بیوولف  Beowulf “چهارگوشی بودن بیان” (four-squareness of the utterance) و اعتبار عاطفی بسیار زیاد آن خوانده است ، به این ویژگی های حماسی واقعیتی جدید و قانع کننده برای خوانندگان معاصر می بخشد.

متنی از اول کتاب حماسه ی بیوولف  Beowulf به انگلیسی :

So. The Spear-Danes in days gone by
and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness.
We have heard of those princes’ heroic campaigns.

The Danes have legends about their warrior kings. The most famous was Shield Sheafson, who founded the ruling house

There was Shield Sheafson, scourge of many tribes,
a wrecker of mead-benches, rampaging among foes.
This terror of the hall-troops had come far.
A foundling to start with, he would flourish later on
as his powers waxed and his worth was proved.
In the end each clan on the outlying coasts beyond the whale-road had to yield to him
and begin to pay tribute. That was one good king.
Afterwards a boy-child was born to Shield,
a cub in the yard, a comfort sent
by God to that nation. He knew what they had tholed,the long times and troubles they’d come through
without a leader; so the Lord of Life,
the glorious Almighty, made this man renowned.
Shield had fathered a famous son:
Beow’s name was known through the north.And a young prince must be prudent like that,
giving freely while his father lives
so that afterwards in age when fighting starts
steadfast companions will stand by him
and hold the line. Behaviour that’s admired
is the path to power among people everywhere.

Shield’s funeral

Shield was still thriving when his time came
and he crossed over into the Lord’s keeping.
His warrior band did what he bade them
when he laid down the law among the Danes:

they shouldered him out to the sea’s flood,
the chief they revered who had long ruled them.
A ring-whorled prow rode in the harbour,
ice-clad, outbound, a craft for a prince.
They stretched their beloved lord in his boat,
laid out by the mast, amidships,
the great ring-giver. Far-fetched treasures

were piled upon him, and precious gear.
I never heard before of a ship so well furbished
with battle tackle, bladed weapons

and coats of mail. The massed treasure

was loaded on top of him: it would travel far
on out into the ocean’s sway.
They decked his body no less bountifully
with offerings than those first ones did
who cast him away when he was a child
and launched him alone out over the waves.
And they set a gold standard up
high above his head and let him drift
to wind and tide, bewailing him

and mourning their loss. No man can tell,

no wise man in hall or weathered veteran
knows for certain who salvaged that load.
Then it fell to Beow to keep the forts.
