( ) La Navidad para un niño en Gales es uno de los mejores relatos de Dylan Thomas y nos hará revivir nuestros recuerdos de la infancia. Dylan Thomas es algo más que un poeta: es toda una leyenda. Este relato nos lleva a un pueblo de la costa de Gales, lleno de gatos, carteros y niños ansiosos por jugar con la nieve, que cayó «durante seis días con sus noches cuando yo tenía doce años, o durante doce noches y doce días cuando tenía seis», según nos cuenta el autor al principio del libro. Thomas's classic essay cum novella is rendered in larger-than-usual font with lots of white space, making it good for group readings. The illustrations "done in ink, torn paper, and gouache" are well-suited to the text, but are not to my personal taste. See copy-1 also. Introduction: A Child's Christmas in Wales was originally two separate pieces. One, "Memories of Christmas,' was a BBC radio broadcast in 1945. The second, an article Thomas wrote for Picture Post in 1947, was called "Converstion about Christmas." In 1950, he edited them into one essay, which was published in Harper's Bazaar as "A child's Memories of Christmas in Wales." The version used here, and the one most widely known, was published posthumously in book form, in 1954, by New Directions, where it finally gained the title A Child's Christmas in Wales. Dylan Thomas wrote this short collection of jumbled memories in English, although he was Welsh in heritage and sensibilities. The first episode is the one most-often read at our (American) Welsh Society Christmas Tea, but all of them are humorous evocations of a now distant world that would be familiar to most children of any age that live in the snowy Anglo-American lands. Although usually classified as an essay, I think it is a fanciful memoir more akin to fiction. See copy-2 also. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
