The Ballad of the White Horse
Gelesen von Joshua B. Christensen
G. K. Chesterton
(4,902 Sterne; 51 Bewertungen)
An English epic poem that follows the exploits of Alfred the Great in his defense of Christian civilization in England from the heathen nihilism of the North. Following a string of defeats at the hands of the invading Danes, a vision from heaven in the river island of Athelney fills Alfred with joy and hope. Though it gives no promise of victory in the coming struggle, it inspires him to rally his chieftains for a last stand against the invading hordes. His adventures lead throughout the country as he gathers his men, and take him through the Danish camps disguised as a minstrel before culminating in the Battle of Ethandune and the prophesying of the enemy's subtle return in the ages to come. (Summary by Joshua B. Christensen) (1 hr 54 min)

The reader was amazing. If he’s not doing readings professionally he should be. I will listen to this poem over and over as I go the sleep and maybe my dreams will take me there.

This is Chesterton’s most beautiful and moving poem. It’s a must read for fans of Chesterton, and medieval enthusiasts and English patriots would also enjoy it. The reader of this LibriVox recording does a superb job.
