Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

"Dylan Thomas, a Biography" by Paul Ferris, was published in 1977 in hardcover format. This is a book club edition, issued the same year. The previous owner had saved a number of clipping of book reviews concerning Dylan Thomas, and we have kept them with the book. The dust-jacket (parts of which had been trimmed and saved) contains the following write-up : "Few poets have excited such extremes of admiration and hostility as Dylan Thomas, the Welshman who was perhaps the greatest lyric poet of our century [the twentieth]. Thomas persisted to the end in fostering an image of the poet as an intense and decadent individual. He lived in poverty despite his considerable income and shocked his public with his love affairs and drinking, while demanding recognition as an artist. But whenever this difficult man read his works, he was accepted on his own terms — his audiences were enthralled." "Paul Ferris's authoritative biography is based on a wealth of previously unpublished material (including two poems) gathered by the author in more than two hundred interviews and extensive research in Britain and America. In his beautifully written narrative Mr. Ferris gives us new insights into Thomas's childhood and adolescence, his arrival on the London literary scene, his marriage to Caitlin Macnamara, his wartime career as a film writer, his visits to the United States, his death. This work has been hailed in England as the definitive biography, a gold mine for scholars as well as for the general reader."
