Gwyn Thomas Knihy
Gwyn Thomas, označený za 'skutočný hlas anglicky hovoriacich dolín', zachytil život v južnom Walese s prenikavým humorom a hlbokým pochopením. Jeho diela sa ponorili do sociálnych a ekonomických ťažkostí regiónu, pričom často skúmali ľudskú odolnosť tvárou v tvár nepriazni osudu. Thomasov štýl, charakterizovaný živými dialógmi a bohatým jazykom, vyvolával jedinečnú atmosféru jeho domoviny. Prostredníctvom svojich románov a poviedok ponúkol nekompromisný pohľad na životy obyčajných ľudí a ich neustále hľadanie dôstojnosti a zmyslu.
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.
