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 mítica, por el personaje público, va mucho más allá. Sus versos siguen manteniendo vivo el original canto de libertad, de búsqueda, de alegría desesperada que convirtió a Dylan Thomas en uno de los renovadores de la poesía inglesa. Navidad de un niño en Gales (inédito hasta ahora en castellano) es uno de los ejemplos más claros del credo poético de Dylan Thomas, en el que se entrelazan vigorosamente la pasión por la lengua y la nostalgia por el paraíso perdido.
As the inhabitants of Llareggub lie sleeping, their dreams and fantasies deliciously unfold. There is Captain Cat surrounded by fish that 'nibble him down to his wishbone', Mog Edwards, 'a draper mad with love' for shy dressmaker Miss Price, Organ Morgan, listening to the music in Coronation Street with 'spouses ... honking like geese and the babies singing opera', while at the sea-end of town, Mr and Mrs Floyd lie in their bed 'side by wrinkled side ... like two old kippers in a box'. Waking up, their dreams turn to bustling activity as a new day begins.

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.
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.
