Dylan Thomas
Informazioni sul libro
A Child's Christmas in Wales is a piece of prose by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas recorded by Thomas in 1952. Emerging from an earlier piece he wrote for BBC Radio, the work is an anecdotal reminiscence of a Christmas from the viewpoint of a young boy, portraying a nostalgic and simpler time. It is one of Thomas's most popular works. Dylan Thomas (1914–1953) was a Welsh poet and writer, best known for his vivid and highly imaginative poetry. Born in Swansea, Wales, Thomas showed an early interest in literature and began writing poems during his teenage years. His early exposure to the works of poets like Gerard Manley Hopkins and W.B. Yeats influenced his poetic style. Dylan Thomas led a tumultuous and bohemian lifestyle, marked by heavy drinking and a reputation for being a charismatic and passionate performer during his poetry readings. He spent much of his career in London and the United States. Unfortunately, his life was cut short at the age of 39 when he died in New York City in 1953.
