Dylan Thomas
-
Poète « météorique », mort à 39 ans, Dylan Thomas s'est représenté dans ces dix nouvelles autobiographiques, écrites entre 1936 et 1940. Images et souvenirs d'enfance se mêlent aux visions de l'âge mur, présentant ainsi une sorte de fresque aux teintes douces, d'une inspiration souvent épique, où le poète reprend les thématiques essentielles de son ouvre (naissance, sexualité, mort).
Poète, nouvelliste et dramaturge gallois (1914 - 1953), Dylan Thomas connut une carrière littéraire fulgurante. Il est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des plus grands poètes lyriques du XXe siècle. Ce monde est mon partage et celui du démon est disponible en Points Poésie.

À l'ombre du bois lacté, le petit port gallois de Llareggub s'endort au crépuscule sans lune. Saisies au coeur de leurs songes, les voix villageoises s'élèvent, se mêlent et tissent une danse lyrique : il y a là l'instituteur et le tavernier, le facteur et le cordonnier, les épouses, les jeunes filles et la femme de peu, le vieux marin et ses fantômes, une ribambelle de petits mômes, des rêves de mariage et de poison, de poème et de boisson, qui tous disent la beauté fragile du monde, pour nous qui prêtons une oreille indiscrète.

An ideal introduction to the poetry of one of this country's finest ever poets and featuring a bold new livery in celebration of the Dylan Thomas centenary. This collection features perhaps Dylan Thomas' best-known poem, 'Fern Hill' - a profoundly melancholic and wistful meditation on former times; set in the idyllic Carmarthenshire dairy farm owned by his aunt and uncle when he was a boy. Another beloved poem 'Do not go gentle into that good night' was written by the poet for his dying father, exploring the themes of grief, loss and death.
