Beowulf by Francis Barton Gummere ~ Full Audiobook [folklore]

Beowulf by Francis Barton Gummere audiobook.

Genre: folklore

In Francis Barton Gummere's classic English rendering of Beowulf, an ancient world of mead-halls, sea-roads, and oath-bound warriors comes vividly to life. The Danes are beset by a night-stalking monster, and their great hall, Heorot, has become a place of dread. Across the whale-road comes Beowulf, a young Geatish champion driven by duty, fame, and loyalty to his lord. With a small band of men and an iron resolve, he offers his strength to King Hrothgar and prepares to face a terror that ordinary weapons cannot easily master. But victory in this harsh landscape is never simple: pride, fate, and the old codes of honor press on every choice, and darker forces wait beyond the first battle. As songs of past deeds echo through torchlit feasts, Beowulf must prove what kind of hero he will be, and what the cost of glory may be for himself and for the people who depend on him.
