Sex, murder, and a devastating, humour mark these three novellas that Gwyn Thomas wrote in 1946.
Gwyn Thomas Livres
Gwyn Thomas, salué comme 'la véritable voix des vallées anglophones', a capturé la vie dans le sud du Pays de Galles avec un esprit vif et une profonde empathie. Ses œuvres se sont plongées dans les luttes sociales et économiques de la région, explorant souvent la résilience humaine face à l'adversité. Le style distinctif de Thomas, caractérisé par des dialogues vifs et une prose riche et évocatrice, a donné vie à l'atmosphère unique de sa patrie. À travers ses romans et nouvelles, il a offert un regard sans concession sur la vie des gens ordinaires et leur quête persistante de dignité et de sens.
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.
