About this item
BEOWULF HC SANTIAGO GARCIA and DAVID RUBIN unite to bring forward the myth of Beowulf, which has endured for a thousand years and inspired anepic poem of the same name, became a foundational piece of English literature, and inspired generations of authors, from Tolkien to a goodnumber 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, hasarrived in the kingdom of the Danes, devouring its men and women for 12 years until Beowulf arrives to save them.GARCIA and RUBIN faithfully follow the original story for a new version that is neither revisionist nor postmodern, but captures the tone andimportant details of the poem, translating its potent, epic resonance and melancholy into a contemporary comic that isn't standard swords andsorcery or heroic fantasy fare, but rather an ancient story with a modern perspective that remains respectful of the source material.
About the Author
David Rubin is a former mayor of Shiloh, Israel - in the region of Samaria, which together with Judea, is known to much of the world as the West Bank. He is founder and president of Shiloh Israel Children's Fund (SICF) - dedicated to healing the trauma of child victims of terrorist attacks, as well as rebuilding the biblical heartland of Israel through the children. SICF was established after Rubin and his three-year-old son were wounded in a vicious terrorist attack while driving home from Jerusalem. Rubin vowed to retaliate - not with hatred, nor with anger, but with compassion - to create positive change for Israel and its children.Rubin has become an unofficial spokesman for Israel, with his books that speak the truth about what's really happening in Israel and the Middle East. Rubin also has written extensively about the Israel-US relationship, as well as the very real threat of Jihadist Islam to Judeo-Christian civilization. In addition to his new book, "Trump and the Jews", these books have included, "The Islamic Tsunami", and "Peace For Peace". Rubin appears as a frequent commentator on Fox News, Newsmax TV, and many other television and radio networks, while his articles have appeared in the Jerusalem Post and Israel National News, as well as many American publications and online media.
