Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Covering the whole range of Dylan Thomas's writing--both poetry and prose--Walford Davies's Dylan Thomas is an accessible appraisal of the work and achievement of this major and dynamic poet. Davies analyzes Thomas and his work in light of his Welsh background, while simultaneously illustrating Thomas's wide knowledge of and impact on the long and varied tradition of poetry in English. In that connection, Davies delineates and delimits Thomas's relationship to surrealism, compares and contrasts his work with that of other poets of the 1930s and '40s, and shows how the power of his writing survives to this day, long after his untimely death in 1953. This new edition offers an updated bibliography and Davies's own commentary on the previous edition.

Priestley and Cyril Connolly, Coombes gave voice to men who had previously been silent, and this volume, with its mix of fiction, nonfiction, and autobiography, offers contemporary readers a way in to the experience of Welsh miners--the hard labor, danger, and community that were central to their experience of life and work.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Australians remember the dead of 25 April 1915 on Anzac Day every year. But do we know the name of a single soldier who died that day What do we really know about the men supposedly most cherished in the national memory of war Peter Stanley goes looking for the Lost Boys of Anzac: the men of the very first wave to land at dawn on 25 April 1915 and who died on that day. There were exactly 101 of them. They were the first to volunteer, the first to go into action, and the first of the 60,000 Australians killed in that conflict.Lost Boys of Anzac traces who these men were, where they came from and why they came to volunteer for the AIF in 1914. It follows what happened to them in uniform and, using sources overlooked for nearly a century, uncovers where and how they died, on the ridges and gullies of Gallipoli - where most of them remain to this day. And we see how the Lost Boys were remembered by those who knew and loved them, and how they have since faded from memory.
