Translated and read by Seamus Heaney.
New York Times best seller and Whitebread Book of the Year, Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney’s new translation of Beowulf comes to life in this gripping audio. Heaney’s performance reminds us that Beowulf, written near the turn of another millennium, was intended to be heard not read.
Composed toward the end of the first millennium of our era, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel’s mother. He then returns to his own country and lives to old age before dying in a vivid fight against a dragon.
The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the end of the twentieth century, Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface.

Cool, Heaney’s was the first version I read. Listen in your smoky Mead Hall, with the wind demons howling outside.

Had the pleasure of meeting Headey for a reading. Damn, he’s good.

Had the chance to meet Heaney for a reading. Damn he’s good.
(Not Heady, not Headley, but Heaney.)

Could anyone upload the AB of Maria Dahvana Headley’s translation? When I read it I imagined Billy Connolly voice.

Great story. Great translation. Great narration. Great quality. Unfortunately, abridged. That’s really disappointing as this is an otherwise stellar recording/torrent. If you want to listen to the unabridged version of Heaney’s translation, you’ll need George Guidall’s recording. It’s on Audible, but I can’t find a torrent.
