Description
Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. Product Details

About the Author
Anonymous worked in several high-level diplomatic roles for the British government throughout the second half of the twentieth century where he was in close cooperation with the security agencies. The manuscript of A Spy Called Cynthia was given to him by a senior colleague, friend and mentor with the explicit instruction that it not be published until the latter's death. With its publication he is fulfilling that promise.
