A propos de cet article

First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth lettered in silver to the spine, in the dustwrapper designed by Andrea Purdie showing Will Rowlands' painting 'At the End'. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean and bright throughout. In the dustwrapper, fine except for a short closed tear (c. 1 cm) with associated crease to the lower edge of the front panel and the merest rubbing to corners. Not price-clipped (£20.00 to the front flap). An attractive copy. Originally written in Welsh, Thomas' autobiographical prose, here carefully translated, introduced and annotated by Jason Walford Davies, Lecturer in the Department of Welsh at the University of Wales, Bangor is collected here for the first time. One of the greatest English-language poets of the last century, Thomas' autobiographical prose provides an invaluable background to the poetry, recounting his life as a priest and poet deeply involved with language and the natural world. "This is a thrilling and forthright book, a major poet's 'odi et amo' and a paean to the natural beauty of Wales." (Seamus Heaney). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
