Dylan Thomas," A History "(1953)

a few writers of this century is known and is written as much as Dylan Thomas (Swansea 1914 - New York 1953). Extraordinary attraction has led to concern him at all that was pervaded by a sense of legend. So it is that every writer aspires to in some way to tell her about the author, as is evident in my case. In other cases, I think of Bob Dylan, has taken the name of the author to make his stage name, or-as is the case of Dylan Dog, you is inspired by the title of a comic book. This author would like to tell the many. Unfortunately, as in the case of an extensive article published in Peter Cited The Republic a couple of years ago, each describing the poet in his own way, care about what happened in the life of Thomas and his work. From one point of view, this position is legitimate, to the extent that you want to feel alive in the shadow of self-propelled one of the great bards of the twentieth century, playful and ridanciano and gloomy like few other colleagues. Moreover, the character seems to come out of a film poor in the barrel, drunkard, womanizer, who lived in a remote Welsh village of two hundred souls, and become famous all over the world.

Known primarily as a poet, Thomas is the author of a series of lively stories, whose jocular vein becomes tender and nostalgic aspects. His narrative language, which was attentive to the recitation the author, he plays chords a mo 'for bold buffoon, to indulge soon after, cadence, to the tenderness of whom, including the daydreams of men, is evidence of the fraternal piety, as in the extraordinary story "A story." Few writers have been able to convey anger, tenderness, pity and mockery as this writer Welsh. If his poems are known for a heavy gloom, from the vibrant tone and impeccable and the biblical narrative, the stories are the place for alleviating those situations in which love and death are the two dominant themes of the poetic tension. The life of every day becomes a new narrative context, with small towns in Wales, the unique native hills and funny characters. These stories throb of agony caricature of a place (South Wales) in which the characters become the peasants tender and grotesque bestiary of humanity, surrounded by shadows and childhood fears of his place of birth, almost a counterpoint to the experience vessel and exotic Joseph Conrad in the "heart of darkness" of the Congo. The world of the unknown, says Thomas, part of his childhood home and to extend into later life, in a universe whose boundaries are not marked.

The protagonist is almost always a boy (Dylan) who lives the world governed by adults almost in silence, a small little curious about his surroundings. Thomas, withdrawing child (and we know it, as well as from the stories, the many testimonials from his fellow students of Swansea), also tells his pranks, giving the main character is a disillusioned realism that is striking for its bluntness. In fact, Thomas splits himself: the story of the child is told through the quiet chatter and irreverent mocking of the adult writer, a linguistic process which highlights how the world of childhood is overwhelmed by the structures and mechanisms of adult mental. To relieve the mind of the child, Thomas takes all its verve superadulto, provided that the adult expression of dexterity and cognitive experiences that surpass the language of the common man, making the characters live in retaliation for teasing (but keep) to rehabilitate the expression repressed childhood. The stories of Dylan Thomas have recently been restated by Einaudi in portrait of the author as a puppy and other stories .
