Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas's best-known and best-loved work, his radio play completed in 1953 at the very end of his life.

New annotated edition of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog by Dylan Thomas. It has proven to be second only in popularity to the author's masterpiece, Under Milk Wood, demonstrating that Thomas was as much a master of prose as he was of poetry.

'It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black...'Under Milk Wood tells the story of a Welsh village during one spring day. It is populated by some of the best-loved characters in British literature. Lyrical, funny, moving, it is rooted in place but with a universality that has spoken to generations of readers. A Welsh epic, a work of poetic genius, a modern classic.'A tour de force of oral poetry which oozes word pictures and onomatopoeic musicality' Guardian

This gathering of all Dylan Thomas's stories-ranging chronologically from the dark, almost surrealistic tales of Thomas's youth to such gloriously rumbustious celebrations of life as "A Child's Christmas in Wales" and "Adventures in the Skin Trade"-charts the progress of "The Rimbaud of Cwmdonkin Drive" toward his mastery of the comic idiom. Here, too, are stories originally written for radio and television and, in a short appendix, the schoolboy pieces first published in the Swansea Grammar School Magazine. A high point of the collection is Thomas's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog," a vivid collage of memories from his Swansea childhood that combines the lyricism of his poetry with the sparkle and sly humor of Under Milk Wood. Also here is the fiction from Quite Early One Morning, a collection planned by Thomas shortly before his death.Altogether there are more than forty stories, providing a rich and varied literary feast and showing Dylan Thomas in all his intriguing variety-somber fantasist, joyous word-spinner, and irrepressible comedian of smalltown Wales.

"Von diesem grandiosen Klassiker des Wortweltmeisters Dylan Thomas waren sie alle begeistert- die Stones, die Beatles, Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton, Igor Strawinsky - und ich auch!" Elke HeidenreichDas legendäre Werk des walisischen Dichters Dylan Thomas in einer neuen, funkelnden Übersetzung von Jan Wagner, der ,Unterm Milchwald' als das schönste Stück Literatur bezeichnet, "das jemals über den Äther lief". Der Morgen beginnt in dem kleinen Fischerdorf Llareggub an der walisischen Küste. Wir folgen den Bewohnern in ihre Träume, wir sitzen in den Stuben, hören die Gespräche in einer Schenke, lugen in die Brautkammern unverheirateter Mädchen, erfahren von den Wünschen des blinden Kapitäns Cat und folgen insbesondere den heimlichen Liebespaaren hinauf in den Milchwald. Eine einzigartige "Prosa mit Blutdruck", die von Bildern, Lautmalereien, Wortspielen schier zu bersten scheint.
