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.
Un valiosísimo volumen que contiene la evolución y el esplendor de la prosa del genial autor galés, muerto prematuramente en Nueva York a caisa del alcohol.
Ésta es la tercer y última entrega de los relatos completos de Dylan Thomas que, traducidos impecablemente por Miguel Martínez-Lange, ha estado publicando Mondadori.
The classic 1963 BBC production starring Richard Burton as the Narrator/First Voice. His voice conjures up the intimate dreams and lives of the inhabitants of a Welsh seaside village in a remarkable way. Its bawdy and beautiful; its colourful language and characters create a rich pastoral which, once heard, touches the listener with its peotry and haunts the imagination for ever.
Dylan Thomas es algo más que un poeta: es toda una leyenda. Su nombre evoca el olor de las tabernas, la bohemia más desenfrenada, la enfermedad y la locura. Pero su poesía no queda atrapada por la figura mitica, por el personaje publico, va mucho mas alla. Sus versos siguen manteniendo vivo el original canto de libertad, de busqueda, de alegria desesperada que convirtio a Dylan Thomas en uno de los renovadores de la poesia inglesa. Navidad de un niño en Gales (inedito hasta ahora en castellano) es uno de los ejemplos mas claros del credo poetico de Dylan Thomas, en el que se entrelazan vigorosamente la pasion por la lengua y la nostalgia por el paraiso perdido.
Une poésie à la fois intime et lyrique, fougueuse et brillante.
Un changement dans les intempéries du cœur
Et l’humide devient sec. Le canon d’or
Tonne dans la tombe glacée.
Une intempérie dans
In 1951, two years before his death, Dylan Thomas wrote of his plan to complete a radio play, 'an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness, of the town I live in, and to write it simply and warmly and comically with lots of movement and varieties of moods, so that, at many levels...you come to know the town as an inhabitant of it'. The work was UNDER MILK WOOD - an orchestration of voices, sights and sounds that conjure up the dreams and waking hours of an imagined Welsh seaside village within the cycle of one day. Includes an introduction, notes, selected criticism and chronology of Thomas's life and times.
One of the great craftsmen of modern poetry in English, Dylan Thomas harnesses the very music of language. The amazing memorability of the poems - the unforgettable phrase, the singing line - comes partly from the Welshness of the craft. But it also comes from the range of the great natural forces that the poems deal with, and which determine all our lives.
Rich and original, vigorous and memorable, these 70 poems are selected from across Thomas' entire poetic career and from both his published and unpublished work. This study edition contains both the
