Gwyn Thomas Libri
Gwyn Thomas, acclamato come 'la vera voce delle valli di lingua inglese', ha catturato la vita nel Galles meridionale con arguzia tagliente e profonda empatia. Le sue opere si sono immerse nelle lotte sociali ed economiche della regione, esplorando spesso la resilienza umana di fronte alle avversità. Lo stile distintivo di Thomas, caratterizzato da dialoghi vividi e una prosa ricca ed evocativa, ha dato vita all'atmosfera unica della sua terra natale. Attraverso i suoi romanzi e racconti, ha offerto uno sguardo schietto sulle vite della gente comune e sulla loro persistente ricerca di dignità e significato.
With passion, humour and remarkable insight, Gwyn Thomas captures the world of south Wales in the 1830s during the turbulent years of the Merthyr and Newport Risings. This is a new edition of a novel first published in 1949, with an introduction by Raymond Williams.
