The Beowulf story retold from the monster's point of view reveals the darker side of human nature and values.\u003c\/p\u003e   \r\nGrendel is a beautiful and heartbreaking modern retelling of the Beowulf epic from the point of view of the monster, Grendel, the villain of the 8th-century Anglo-Saxon epic. This book benefits from both of Gardner's careers: in addition to his work as a novelist, Gardner was a noted professor of medieval literature and a scholar of ancient languages.     ***  \r\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Gardner (1933–1982) was born in Batavia, New York.
