Best Selling Books by Dylan Thomas

This unique edition presents the complete span of Thomas''s short stories, from his urgent hallucinatory visions of the dark forces beneath the surface of Welsh life to the inimitable comedy of his later autobiographical writings. With PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG DOG and ADVENTURES IN THE SKIN TRADE, Thomas found a new voice for his irreverent memories of lust and bravado in south-west Wales and London, leading to a sequence of classic evocations of childhood magic and the follies of adult life.

Perhaps most famous for UNDER MILK WOOD and his poems ''Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night'', and ''Death Shall have no Dominion'', Dylan Thomas was a hugely colourful and iconic poet whose work was greatly admired by contemporaries such as Edith Sitwell and Sylvia Plath. He wrote well over 380 published poems as well as 50 journal-published poems, pastiches, poems from letters and radio plays. This new edition of the author''s poems looks at his body of work in a new light, including material that was previously overlooked or excluded from collections, as well as bringing to bear advances in critical theory. Most importantly it emphasises how accessible and immediate his work was, demonstrating its relevance to a contemporary audience.

The works of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas are celebrated for their comic exuberance, rhapsodic lilt and endearing pathos. He led a personal life that was never far from the public eye, punctuated by notorious bouts of drinking. His enduring masterpiece, ‘Under Milk Wood’ is a seminal classic of twentieth century literature. The radio play subtly evokes the lives of the inhabitants of a small Welsh town, teeming with imaginative language, dramatic characterisation and an inimitable breadth of comic invention.
