Dylan Thomas

DURANTEURANTE LOS PRIMEROS DÍAS de noviembre de 1953, murió en Nueva York, a la edad de treinta y nueve años, uno de los mejores poetas que escribían entonces en lengua inglesa, y cuya obra y facultades constituian una esplendida y reconocida realidad, a la vez que una prometedora esperanza. Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) habia vivido siempre bajo el hechizo de dos motivos poeticos de primer orden: el amor y la muerte, y estas fuerzas, que en la inspiracion del poeta actuaban generalmente entrelazadas, envuelven casi toda su obra, oponiendose y completandose. Parece que el poeta tuviera el presentimiento de que, como a tantos de su vocacion, la muerte tenia que alcanzarle prematuramente.

6ª edición.Poemas de Dylan Thomas escritos entre los años 1934 y 1952.

A unique recording with Dylan Thomas reading his own work, as he meant it to be read. Because Dylan Thomas often wrote as much for the sound of his poetry as for its meaning, he was extraordinarily well-suited to the task of interpreting his own works on audio, the more so for his unforgettably rich, magical voice and dramatic style. This recording is the preservation of a unique literary resource, a fascinating introduction to the complete experience of Dylan Thomas' manipulation of language. The poems in this collection are those that he most often chose for his famous public readings and can therefore be considered the ones Dylan Thomas himself wanted us to know. Includes such favourites as Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, Fern Hill, And Death Shall Have no Dominion plus many more.

Dylan Thomas is one of the 20th century's most celebrated poets. His rich rhetoric created poems of magical imagery - nowhere is language more rich and fantastic than in his best-known work, Under Milk Wood. He was also a popular radio entertainer and the BBC Archives contain a wealth of material featuring Dylan Thomas - not only readings of his own work, but also dramatic readings of other work such as Dr Faustus. These, together with interviews with the poet, form a fascinating audio portrait of a brilliant man. Dylan Thomas at the BBC is presented by Paul Ferris, biographer of Thomas and editor of his letters.

Dylan Thomas's letters to the many women in his life are among the most beautiful and lyrical he wrote. Provoked mostly by separations, they are cajoling, apologetic, uninhibited, tactical and loving. This collection includes letters to Pamela, his first love, to Caitlin, his equally flamboyant wife, and to later loves like Elizabeth Reitel, the woman who was with him on the night he died in New York. Like most great letter writers, Thomas had the gift of writing as if his correspondent stood in front of him. He could also use his letters to accomplish a number of tasks - to secure forgiveness, to make excuses, to amuse or deflect, to give an impression of confidence and ease. Sensual and earthy, like so much of his poetry, they were all designed to secure Thomas's place in his lover's heart and memory - the purpose of all true love letters.
