Dylan Thomas

A groundbreaking new edition of Dylan Thomas's collected poetry.

Here we are nibbling away all day and night, Mrs Dacey. Nibble nibble. No sense, no order, no nothing, we’re all mad and nasty.Samuel Bennett leaves his home in South Wales to pursue a career in London. Setting out with an attitude of reckless, nihilistic purpose, he encounters a nightmarish city with an assortment of bizarre characters and an embarrassing first sexual experience. Join Samuel as he meanders through this dreamlike world, all with a beer bottle stuck on his little finger.Dylan Thomas’s gloriously surreal coming-of-age and unfinished novel is given new life by acclaimed writer Lucy Gough.Originally premiered in Wales in 2014, the adaptation was then performed in both Sydney and Melbourne, Australia in 2015. It is published here in Methuen Drama's Plays for Young People series, pitched at ages 16-18. It features an introduction by Sam Mackie, Head of Drama in the English Faculty at The Peninsula School, Victoria.

A reminiscence of Christmas, from the viewpoint of a young boy, that has been a holiday favorite for decades. In rich, humorous, magical prose, poet Dylan Thomas recalls the church-going, the tree-trimming, the food, the carols and games of his childhood Christmases. And, of course, Mrs. Prothero and the firemen. It is one of Thomas' most popular works. Always on Christmas night there was music, he writes. An uncle played the fiddle, a cousin sang "Cherry Ripe," and another uncle sang "Drake's Drum." It was very warm in the little house. Auntie Hannah, who had got on to the parsnip wine, sang a song about Bleeding Hearts and Death, and then another in which she said her heart was like a Bird's Nest; and then everybody laughed again; and then I went to bed. Looking through my bedroom window, out into the moonlight and the unending smoke-colored snow, I could see the lights in the windows of all the other houses on our hill and hear the music rising from them up the long, steady falling night. For this edition, Edward Ardizzone created the perfect accompaniment in 30 delightful watercolors and drawings. This is a timeless classic--a wonderful evocation of a gentle and seemingly endless Christmas made charming and endearing through language. Published in a format for reading aloud to young people, this is truly a book for all ages.

La Navidad de un ni o en Gales es uno de los escritos mas l ricos y evocadores de la producci n po tica de Dylan Thomas, est repleto de reminiscencias de la infancia, de recuerdos de la memoria de las navidades de otras pocas, en un lenguaje po tico original y riqu simo, casi a modo de poema en prosa o casi cuento que por su lirismo extremo resulta prosa po tica. En una especie de recuerdos de la infancia, el autor nos evoca los paisajes nevados, los vientos de los arrecifes, las colinas de Gales, los regalos de la navidad, los barcos y los sue os de invierno cual reminiscente cajita de m sica que de repente nos transportara a nuestra infancia, a los recuerdos de las navidades casi olvidadas en la memoria. Dylan Thomas, del que en Octubre este a o de 2014 se cumple el centenario de su nacimiento, morir a con apenas 39 a os, en New York casi un a o despu s de esta creacion de esta mavavillosa obra que presentamos en traducci n al castellano por ngel Recas. En 1954 ser a publicada en su primera edici n y desde entonces se convertir a en un xito editorial recurrente y muy valorado, sobretodo en el mundo anglosaj n. Como en la mayor a de su poes a, La Navidad de un ni o en Gales, no se ajusta a una estructura narrativa fija, sino que contiene pasajes descriptivos l ricos dise ados para crear un estado de continuo sentimiento emocional de nostalgia. La historia est narrada desde el punto de vista del autor rememorando una navidad de un ni o en su Gales natal de manera y en evidente estilo autobiogr fico. Ya desde el principio nos evoca los espacios y los lugares de su pueblo natal, de su amad sima Gales, Nevaba, siempre nevaba en Navidad... El mundo de las navidades del pasado de las que Dylan Thomas evoca est muy lejano del actual, lejos de los ruidos descontrolados, de las prisas, lejos del frio mundo de los ordenadores y de los advances tecnol gicos y de la desgarradora e inhumana sociedad de consumo de nuestros d as. Entonces todo suced a con m s naturalidad, con m s ingenuidad y con la pureza de los sentimientos de que todo, principalmente desde el punto de un ni o, es nuevo. Y ese asombro maravilloso ante lo que nos rodea, como dir a el gran Facundo Cabral, nos condena benditamente al descubrimiento gozoso de lo que alrededor acontec a; sentimientos id nticos ante cualquier celebraci n navide a de ahora y como desde siempre, las familias que se re nen, las vueltas y viajes a casa desde lejos, los intercambios de regalos, las comidas, las canciones y los villancicos, las reuniones en las que todos juntos siempre se come y se bebe, y se canta felizmente junto al calor de la chimenea, mientras que los ni os contemplan todo eso con su inocente mirada, con la sorpresa continua ante lo que siempre cada d a acontec a siempre en Navidad, pensando en escapar a la m nima a la calle para jugar con la nieve, con los amigos, y divertirse gastando ing nuas bromas navide as a los vecinos y acabar fantaseando con enormes hipop tamos. La emoci n l rica, con la que Dylan Thomas recuerda, con nostalgia cualquier pasado infantil, los a os felices de las navidades pasadas, cargadas de maravillosas y entra ables vivencias que se vuelven determinantes en la formaci n de cualquier ni o, es una de las caracter sticas estil sticas m s conmovedoras de este encantador relato que presentamos aqu cuando se cumple en este a o 2014 el primer centenario del nacimiento de Dylan Thomas.

23 av Dylan Thomas' dikt i gjendiktning ved Åsmund Bjørnstad, i anledning Thomas' 100-års fødselsdag. Dette var skogane elva havet der ein gut i den lydande sommaren til dei døde kviskra si sanne glede ut til tre og steinar og fisken i båra. Og i fuglar og vatn var gåta atter nær og nynnande. Der kunne eg undra min fødselsdag vekk, men veret slo om. Og den sanne gleda til eit lenge dødt barn song glødande i sola. Det var mitt trettiande år til himmelen, stod berre der med min sommardag, om byen der nede låg bladd i oktobers blod. Å må mitt hjartas sanning igjen bli sunge i høgdene her når eit nytt år flør.
