<em>Beowulf </em>is a heroic poem - it tells the deeds of a hero - written in Old English that could date from the 8th century. Originally it did not have a title, but later on it was named after Beowulf, a Scandinavian legendary hero. It is considered the oldest European vernacular epic (vernacular means colloquial and epic is poetry that is about heroes) and one of the most important works in Old English literature.

Geoffrey Chaucer (1340/44-1400) is known as the Father of English Literature. He wrote in the English vernacular (colloquial), even though his contemporaries were still writing in Latin, and is one of the most important English poets from the Middle Ages. One of his most well-known works is <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>.

Dante Alighieri (circa 1265-1321) is the author of a true masterwork of the literature of all times: the epic poem <em>The Divine Comedy</em>, an autobiographical work, to a certain extent, written in the vernacular Italian, instead of in Latin or Greek, which were more common at that time. By choosing the vernacular Italian, he was able to share his work with a wider audience.

Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) is, together with Dante and Petrarch, one of the fathers of Italian literature. One of his most famous famous works is the <em>Decameron</em>, a book that includes short stories and novels, with actions that took place in the course of ten days - Decameron means "ten days" in Greek. The book was very influential (it influenced <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>, for instance).

Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) was Boccaccio's fellow poet and humanist. He was a priest, but after seeing a woman seemingly named Laura for the first time he abandoned that vocation and devoted most of his career to write poems for her. Petrarch coined the famous (although not true) term or expression "Dark Ages" in reference to the period that preceded the Renaissance (that is, the Middle Ages).

How did germany's allies benefits from germany's reduction
vlabodo [156]
At the beginning of the spring of 1945 everything was now ready for a decisive action by the Allies that would put an end to the war. In January, the Allies had rejected the Ardennes offensive, the last major German attack on the Western front.

After the failure of this operation the German army was almost exhausted and the remaining German forces were unable to resist the Allied counteroffensive in Europe. Moreover, in February-March 1945 the advance in the Rhineland had allowed the Allies to seize the bridge of Ludendorff, in Remagen (which would have allowed the Anglo-American troops to easily cross the Rhine river) and to inflict enormous losses on the Wehrmacht (about 400,000 soldiers killed in combat and 280,000 taken prisoner).

On the eastern front the Red Army had conquered most of Poland and was pushing towards Hungary and Czechoslovakia stopping on the Oder-Neisse line. The advance of Soviet troops had engulfed many German combat units limiting the ability of Hitler and the German generals to provide reinforcements for defense on the Rhine.
