Story4 out of 5 stars 10
Manfred is a dramatic poem written in 1816–1817 by Lord Byron. It contains supernatural elements, in keeping with the popularity of the ghost story in England at the time. It is a typical example of a Romantic closet drama. Manfred was adapted musically by Robert Schumann in 1852, in a composition entitled Manfred: Dramatic Poem with music in Three Parts.

Great but the music ruins it.

Would you listen to Manfred: Dramatic Poem with Music in Three Parts again? Why?
probably not, because I just bought it so I didn't have to read it for a class
What three words best describe the narrators’s voice?
Passion, volume, Perfect
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yup, its short and sweet
Any additional comments?
The musical bits really do ruin this audio book. You cannot understand a single word. I had to take out my book whenever they started up a song and I still couldn't follow a long. It was beautiful to listen to, but if you're listening to the audible book for content you're not going to get that.
