Gwyn Thomas

    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.

      Offers the underlying meaning of South Wales' history. This title, with its plural narration, presents a choric commentary on human illusion and knowledge, on power and its attendant deprivation, on dreams and their destruction. It is History as Carnival and a comic vision of humanity that recognises no geographical boundaries.
