Rustica Editorial Ilustrada. Condition: Excelente Estado. Dust Jacket Condition: Sin Sobrecubiertas. 4ª. 229pp, EN INGLES. SOBRE EL AUTOR:: Dylan Marlais Thomas (Swansea, Gales, 27 de octubre de 1914 Nueva York,9 de noviembre de 1953) fue un poeta, escritor de cuentos y dramaturgo galés.1 Si hay que hablar de figuras poéticas que reverdecieron la literatura inglesa de la primera mitad del siglo XX, hay que remitirse obligadamente a la figura de Dylan Thomas (1914-1953). Famoso por ser un bohemio y un borracho redomado, famoso también por su vozarrón cautivante, que atraía, cual cantante juvenil, a cientos de personas a sus recitales poéticos, o a pegarse al receptor cuando hablaba en la BBC. Poeta precoz y repentinamente fallecido, el caos y el exceso fueron su camino a la genialidad.La obra de Thomas no es copiosa, pero es de una calidad y una frescura inusitadas. Fueron cuatro los ámbitos literarios en los que incursionó: el cuento corto, el guion teatral, el guion para radio y cine, y, finalmente, la poesía. Es éste último ámbito en el que más se le ha reconocido. En mayo de 1933, tras partir de Swansea hacia Londres el año anterior, Thomas publicó en el New English Weekly varios de los poemas por los que es más reconocido: "And death shall have no dominion" "Before I Knocked" and "The Force That Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower". En 1934 comenzó a publicar sus poemas en ''The Listener'' y para el 18 de diciembre de ese mismo año publicó su primer libro: Eighteen Poems (1934), por el que ganó el concurso organizado por The Sunday Referee. Ya había ganado renombre con publicaciones de los poemas que se reunirían en sus primeros libros en diversas revistas, tales como New Stories, New Verse, Life and Letters Today, The Criterion (donde era director el escritor T. S. Eliot). El lirismo apasionado y la musicalidad de la poesía de Thomas contrastan con el resto de la poesía de su tiempo, más preocupada por cuestiones sociales o por la mera experimentación modernista de la forma. Thomas evidencia en estos poemas la influencia del surrealismo inglés, y también recoge influencias de la tradición celta, bíblicas o bien símbolos sexuales. Para Thomas "la poesía debe ser tan orgiástica y orgánica como la cópula, divisoria y unificadora, personal pero no privada, propagando al individuo en la masa y a la masa en el individuo" La actividad de Thomas no cesa. Ya se había afincado en la capital inglesa, además de procurarse, mediante su poesía, un círculo de lectores y de amistades literarias. En 1936 contrae matrimonio con Caitlin MacNamara, al tiempo que publica su segundo libro Twenty-Five Poems, que no hace sino consolidar su reputación entre la crítica y los lectores. Con todo, las cosas no van bien económicamente. Sumido en una pobreza exasperante, el alcoholismo lo ha tomado por completo y es mediante la bebida como encuentra la lucidez que le permite crear las imágenes oscuras y delirantes que hicieron famosa su poesía. Hacia 1939 Europa empieza a vivir el horror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Dylan Thomas quiere alistarse, pero se le declara no apto para el combate (bajo el estatuto C3, que lo coloca en el último grupo susceptible de ser llamado a la guerra). Entonces empieza su carrera radiofónica, para la cual demostró un particular talento, especialmente como guionista y locutor. Realizó alrededor de 200 grabaciones para la BBC y escribió el guion de al menos cinco películas en 1942 auspiciadas por Strand Films (e.g.This Is Colour, New Towns For Old, These Are The Men and Our Country). En la radio de la BBC su labor es el comentario de documentales cinematográficos, pero también tendría reservados otros proyectos, como el poema dramático Under Milk Wood (Bajo el bosque lácteo, póstumo, 1954). Aparecen sus libros The World I Breath y The Map of Love (El mapa del amor). En 1946 aparece la que es considerada su obra cumbre Deaths and Entrances (Muertes y entradas). Viaja a Estados Unidos donde incursiona en el guion de cine, que no llegará a ver en pantalla. En 1952 se publica una recopilación de sus poemas entre 1934 y 1.
