A New York Times Notable Book of the Year From the author of The Discoverers and The Creators, an incomparable history of man's essential questions: "Who are we?" and "Why are we here?" Daniel J. Boorstin, the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Americans, introduces us to some of the great pioneering seekers whose faith and thought have for centuries led man's search for meaning. Moses sought truth in God above while Sophocles looked to reason. Thomas More and Machiavelli pursued truth through social change. And in the modern age, Marx and Einstein found meaning in the sciences. In this epic intellectual adventure story, Boorstin follows the great seekers from the heroic age of prophets and philosophers to the present age of skepticism as they grapple with the great questions that have always challenged man.

Readers of Beowulf have noted inconsistencies in Beowulf's depiction, as either heroic or reckless. Heroic Identity in the World of Beowulf resolves this tension by emphasizing Beowulf's identity as a foreign fighter seeking glory abroad. Such men resemble wreccan, "exiles" compelled to leave their homelands due to excessive violence. Beowulf may be potentially arrogant, therefore, but he learns prudence. This native wisdom highlights a king's duty to his warband, in expectation of Beowulf's future rule. The dragon fight later raises the same question of incompatible identities, hero versus king. In frequent reference to Greek epic and Icelandic saga, this revisionist approach to Beowulf offers new interpretations of flyting rhetoric, the custom of "men dying with their lord," and the poem's digressions.

A thirteen hundred year old poem… A lost Anglo-Saxon funeral ship… The tragic death of a beautiful young woman… When Anna Warne and Ben Elias are invited to spend a bank holiday weekend at one of Suffolk’s statelier private homes, they believe it is to give a talk on their recent discovery of King John’s lost crown jewels. But their host Hector Brook has a different and far more perilous task in mind for them – to help him find out which of their fellow guests killed his beloved fiancée Charlotte Ash five years before. As the party gathers, whispers start to spread of a spectacular new Anglo-Saxon funeral ship to match or even surpass the one found across the river at Sutton Hoo. No-one seems to know where it is, however, or which great lord or king could possibly lie buried there. But, as the danger and the body count both mount, Anna and Elias come to realise that the key to solving the separate mysteries might lie encoded in the lines of an ancient poem.
