Beowulf: Translated by Seamus Heaney Free Audiobook Download by Anonymous

George Guidall's narration of Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf is as stunning as the original. The reader's pace is flawlessly set, and Guidall has both the inflection to make you feel every nuance of the tale and enough variety in his voice to create distinct characters. It is clear that not only did he have a deep understanding of Heaney's work, but he also had complete mastery over each nuance in this story.

Beowulf tells the story of a great warrior and his fight against the demonic Grendel. The protagonist fights for victory in order to preserve his people's freedom, even though many of his comrades end up dead. This work is written in Old English language, but it was translated into Modern English by Seamus Heaney who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995.

The "Beowulf" is a very interesting ancient text, and for the first time ever, it was translated by Seamus Heaney. This translation follows the original poem faithfully, but incorporates numerous new insights into the language and culture of ancient England. The script gives an accurate representation of how English sounded at the time, while leaving enough room to make individual words stand out in the flow of prose.

I was surprised to find that the narrator for this audiobook was not George Guidall, but rather a woman named ["Anonymous"]! This is an enjoyable audiobook.

Anonymous creates a new version of the classic poem, but without the author's name. The narrator of the audiobook is George Guidall. Beowulf is a hero who lives in an ancient society that worships war and power. It tells about his journey from youth to old age.

When I first heard about the new audiobook that would be narrated by [George Guidall], I was thrilled. My favorite author, Seamus Heaney, has always been a favorite of mine and I was excited to hear him read his own work. The full story of Beowulf is retold in English verse unlike its original Norse saga, which was told in intricate and riddling prose meant to demonstrate a king's wisdom. The translation uses the English language well and I found it easy to follow along with George as he tells the tale of Hrothgar's kingdom under attack from Grendel's father.
