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.
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.
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and memorable, these 70 poems are selected from across Thomas' entire poetic career and from both his published and unpublished work.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
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.
Publicado originalmente en 1940,Retrato del Artista cachorro es la unica coleccion de relatos que Dylan Thomas reunio como tal a lo largo de su vida.Basados en sus experiencia biograficas-aunque mas que intentar arrojar luz sobre su vida,la transfigura y la convierte en material literario-.Estos diez cuentos son posiblemente la cima de la narrativa de Thomas,el "Rimbaud de Cwmdonkin Drive",el hacedor de palabras y de emociones que supo extraer de sus raices galesas la savia de la universalidad.
