Title: Wonderful translation but bad Kindle version
Product review: I have the hard cover version of Heaney's "Beowolf" and the Kindle version. In the hard cover, the pages on the left have the original Old English text and the pages on the right have their translation into English. It is wonderful to be able to look at the original, to try and pronounce it, and then to read it in modern English.The Kindle version gives you the modern English translation only. The Old English is entirely absent. Thus you are getting only half the book if you buy the Kindle version and you are not able to do a side-by-side text comparison as you go.If you would like to read Seamus Heaney's amazing translation, and you'll be glad you did, then don't buy it on Kindle. Get the hard cover.
