Dylan Thomas, página 2 de 4

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

Dylan Thomas, one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, captures a child''s eye view of a magical Christmas Day in a small Welsh town, with uncles and aunties, sing songs, presents (some useful, some not) and lots of snow. The beautiful, lyrical prose is vividly brought to life by Edward Ardizzone''s wonderful line illustrations. This modern classic which celebrates 50 years since first publication, will delight everyone with its marvellous tales of the fun and excitement of what it is like to be a child at Christmas.

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.

Bajo el bosque lácteo es un guión radiofónico que Dylan Thomas dejó sin finalizar. El subtítulo, "Comedia de voces", hace justicia a este alucinado contrapunto que rehíla una obra cuyos personajes proceden de no sabemos que mundos, en cualquier caso ingravidos y muy lejanos. Llegan envueltos en un silencio amniotico, solo interrumpido por las sorprendentes apariciones de los habitantes de un pueblo imaginario llamado Llareggub, que Thomas convierte en real para todo aquel que adivine en la literatura un pais donde la vida es posible. Es facil imaginar la ilusionada espera de los oyentes, ya de noche, a que sonasen en las radios de los hogares ingleses las voces de esta alocada trama de personajes que espolean la imaginacion, pero tambien la melancolia de un lugar que nunca sera posible visitar, por mas que la primera voz fuera, en aquella velada de 1954, la de Richard Burton. Thomas trabajo en el texto con una cierta intensidad entre 1952 y 1953, por lo que dejo una version casi definitiva antes de embarcar hacia Estados Unidos, donde leyo el guion en un auditorio de Cambridge (Massachusetts) atestado de publico. Poco despues, lo grabo en el centro cultural 92nd Street Y, en Nueva York, en el Upper East Side de Manhattan, todavia existente. El eco de la obra no quedo apagado, por lo que en 1972 una produccion cinematografica recreo este onirico bosque y reunio, entre otros, al mencionado Richard Burton, a Elizabeth Taylor y a Peter OToole. Las escenificaciones teatrales de Bajo el bosque lacteo se han sucedido, y en mas de una ocasion han encontrado en Anthony Hopkins al narrador de la primera voz, esa que comienza diciendo: "Para empezar por el principio: Es una noche de primavera, sin luna, sin estrellas, negra como una Biblia en las silenciosas calles empedradas del pueblo".

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.

Orrialde autobiografiko hauetan ageri da Thomasen mundua bere osotasunean eta bertan bizi dira, haur edo gazte jakin-min begizabal baten jiran, haurtzaroko eta gazte garaiko pertsonaiak eta lekuak.

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.

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.

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.
