Dylan Thomas

Seine Gedichte sind so auffallend anders als die der zu dieser Zeit populären Lyriker der klassischen Moderne wie z.B. T.S. Eliot und W.H. Auden, die eher durch ihre emotionale Zurückhaltung auffielen. Viele Leser fanden seine Gedichte bewegend aber schwer verständlich. Auden und Eliot schrieben noch auf eine irgendwie als Lyrik erkennbare Art und waren noch irgendwo verständlich. Was man bei Dylan Thomas zu lesen bekamt, war aber komplett neu.

Mit einer schlichten Sprache erwecken seine Gedichte Vorstellungen und Erlebnisse, wie wenige englische Dichter vor und nach ihm, die immer wieder um Sterblichkeit, die schon in der Geburt unausweichlich vorbestimmt ist, kreisen. Die Condition humana, die "Geworfenheit" des Menschen, wie sie allgemein und unabhängig von der persönlichen Lebenszeit und den persönlichen Lebensumständen des Individuums gilt, ist sein großes Thema: Der König muss genauso sterben wie der Bauer.

Die späteren Gedichte nutzen virtuos auch komplizierte Reimschemata und strengere Formen, von klassischen Formen bis zu modernen Formexperiementen.

Damit steht er auf eine Ebene mit Ezra Pound, W.H. Auden und T.S. Eliot, denn grade durch den Unterschied von deren und Dylan Thomas Lyrik wird seine Neuartigkeit und Eigenständigkeit deutlich: Dylan Thomas ist kein intellektueller Weltbürger oder politisch engagierter Mensch, sondern steckt tief in der Landschaft und Tradition seiner Heimat und bleibt als solcher ein Außenseiter in der Welt, der auf seinen spontanen Visionen und Empfindungen besteht.

Lektüreempfehlungen mit Werken von und über Dylan Thomas

: Dylan Thomas (€ 62,99)
`That brilliant commentator on Dylan, John Ackerman' - Andrew Sinclair, Dylan Thomas: Poet of his People John Ackerman's highly acclaimed study of the poems and prose works of Dylan Thomas traces his development as a writer, linking this for the first time with his Welsh background. The formative influence of Swansea on the young poet, his family roots in West Wales and the childhood visits to Fernhill farm and the nearby Blaen Cwm cottage are all included, together with the Boat House anhd Laugharne, the absorbing village life and the inspiration of its now famous land- and sea-scapes. The impact of Welsh nonconformity and the chapel, and the radical politics of Wales are also explored as important influences on the poet's career. The 1994 preface, together with the introduction, throws new light on later poems like 'Prologue', the poet's work in film, broadcasting, as reader and as lecturer, while his own newly-discovered words, sharp and witty and with a poet's eye highlight his life, times and craft. The kaleidoscope of his changing worlds is seen in his homes in Wales and England, and his need in each one for a separate place to write, whether the hillside shed in Laugharne or a gypsy caravan in Oxfordshire or Camden,

: Reading Dylan Thomas (€ 33,00)
A collection of essays on Dylan Thomas, reading culture and his place in modernist studies Reclining quietly with a book, an ear glued to the Hi-Fi, sifting a library stack, the TV flickering, a website gone live ... Few poets have inspired such remarkable scenes and modes of interpretation as Dylan Thomas. Our means of access and response to his work have never been more eclectic, and this collection sheds new light on what it means to 'read' such a various art. In thinking beyond the parameters of life writing and lingering interpretative communities, Reading Dylan Thomas attends in detail to the problems and pleasures of deciphering Thomas in the twenty-first century, teasing out his debts and effects, tracing his influence on later artists, and suggesting ways to understand his own idiosyncratic reading practices. From short stories to memoirs, poems to broadcasts, letters to films, manuscripts to paintings, the material considered in this volume lays the ground for a new consideration of Thomas's formal versatility, and his distinctive relation to literary modernism. ,

: An Encounter with Dylan Thomas (€ 49,60)
Abadan, 1951. Iran and Britain are bracing for battle over the continued British monopoly of Iran's oil. Twenty-nine-year-old Ebrahim Golestan, who was to become a towering figure in Iranian cinema and literature, encounters Dylan Thomas, the famous Welsh poet, who died two years later at the age of thirty-nine from bronchial disease and pneumonia. More for his celebrity than an intimate knowledge of the subject, Thomas had been sent to Iran by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company to write a script for a propaganda film about the company's supposedly salutary role in the country. But for a few hours, Golestan and Thomas pause amidst the escalating standoff between their two countries and speak candidly about poetry, history, philosophy, and the perils of translation. Published here for the first time is the English translation (with facing pages in the original Persian) of Golestan's unflinching portrayal of that encounter, revealing, all too clearly, how unsuited Thomas was for the task in hand.Accompanying the translation is an account of Thomas's time in Iran, written by Abbas Milani, Director of the Iranian Studies Program at Stanford University, together with Alina Utrata, a Ph.D. candidate and Gates Cambridge scholar. Based on the poet's letters, journals, and archival material in England and Wales, it helps to shed further light on an episode long shrouded in mystery and plagued by controversy. Publication of this book coincides with the hundredth birthday in October 2022 of Ebrahim Golestan. To mark the occasion, Professor Milani has included a personal and erudite introductory essay on Golestan's life and work, examining his pioneering approach to film and his important contribution to Iranian literature, despite living in exile for most of his adult life. With a filmography and selected bibliography of the works by or about Golestan, this multifaceted volume offers not only a striking commentary on Iranian arts, politics, and history, set against the tense backdrop of the impending geopolitical clash between Britain and Iran, but also a commemoration of the work of one of the most eminent and influential representatives of Iranian culture in modern times. ,

: The Poetry of Personality (€ 54,20)
Even lovers of Dylan Thomas's poems are often puzzled by his habits of language, which sometimes take the form of unusual diction and unique perceptions. This study, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth, is a must-read for both Thomas's fans and newcomers interested in an introduction to his works and the unique sensibility that created them. Chapters are devoted to his poetic perspectives, ranging from the microscopic to the cosmic, his unusual perceptions of the world, which some critics have described as those of an almost altered reality, his diction, or working vocabulary, his penchant for refurbishing clichés, his hilarious sense of humor and linguistic playfulness, his development as a poet, and his concern for sound, often resulting in a lofty, at times Biblical, though secular, tone. In summary, the study fully explores the heart and mind behind the poems, and shows why his work will always remain in the top rank of English poetry. ,

: Dylan Thomas (€ 33,60)
Since the Bible appears so frequently in Dylan Thomas' work, some critics have decided that he must be a religious poet. Others, noting blasphemous statements and certain irreligious aspects of Thomas' personal life, contend that he was no such thing. Rushworth M. Kidder, investigating this problem, looks below the surface of the obviously religious imagery and discovers a more profound poetry. The first part of this book discusses the nature of religious poetry and the application of that term to Thomas' work, it then develops the necessary background based on his letters and prose comments to provide a foundation for the study, and finally it examines the relationship between the religious aspects of his poetry and his well-known ambiguity. The author re-defines the vocabulary for dealing with religious imagery by establishing three distinct categories of imagery: referential, allusive, and thematic. This original technique is used to examine critically Thomas' poems to show the development of his religious and poetic thought. There are numerous close, sensitive readings of individual poems to show how his poetry, like the Bible, teaches by parable, speaking deliberate ambiguity rather than simple dogma. This strategy inspired poetry that is technically complex but thematically simple, a mode of verse that became more explicitly religious in the poet's final years. Originally published in 1973.

: Das Wales des Dylan Thomas (€ 18,00)
Ich bin ein Waliser. Ich bin ein Trinker. Ich bin ein Menschenfreund. Der walisische Dichter und Essayist Dylan Thomas (1914 - 1953) blieb Zeit seines Lebens mit der walisischen Landschaft verbunden. In seinem Geburtsort Swansea, einer Hafenstadt an der walisischen Südküste, wurde schon früh seine Fantasie beflügelt. Er strich durch den imaginierten Dschungel im Park gegenüber dem Elternhaus und schrieb schon als Jugendlicher Gedichte und Erzählungen. Zunächst als Reporter und als Laienschauspieler tätig, entwickelte er sich bald zu einer ganz eigenständigen Stimme in der englischsprachigen Lyrik. Sein Vokalstück Unter dem Milchwald wurde zu einem Welterfolg. Mit seiner Frau Caitlin und ihren drei Kindern zog der Dichter weiter nach Westen in das Hafendorf Laugharne. Dort bewohnten sie das Boathouse , von dem aus sie einen weiten Blick über die Mündung des Flusses Taf hatten, eine weitläufige Wasserlandschaft, die innerhalb von Minuten ihr Gesicht ändern kann. Eine ehemalige Garage, von ihm The Shack genannt, diente ihm als Schreibwerkstatt. Meist ging er dann hinüber zu Brown's Hotel, um zu trinken und den kolossalen Lügnern an der Theke zu lauschen. Sein Alkoholismus trug vermutlich auch zu seinem frühen Tod bei. Auf einer Lesereise nach Amerika starb Dylan Thomas im Alter von nur 39 Jahren. Eine große Waliser Stimme war erloschen. ,

: Dylan Thomas (€ 18,18)
The renowned literary biographer offers a thoroughly well-written chronicle of the legendary Welsh poet's life that is rich in anecdote (The New Yorker). Dylan Thomas is as legendary for his raucous life as for his literary genius. The author of the immortal poems Death Shall Have No Dominion, Before I Knocked, and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, as well as the short story A Christmas in Wales, and the play for voices Under Milk Wood, published his first book, 18 Poems, in 1934, when he was only twenty years old. When he died in New York in 1953, at age thirty-nine, the myths took hold: he became the Keats and the Byron of his generation-the romantic poet who died too young, his potential unfulfilled. Making masterful use of original material from archives and personal papers, Andrew Lycett describes the development of the young poet, brings valuable new insights to Thomas's poetry, and unearths fascinating details about the poet's many affairs and his tempestuous marriage to his passionate Irish wife, Caitlin. The result is a poignant yet stirring portrait of the chaos of Thomas's personal life and a welcome re-evaluation of the lyricism and experimentalism of his literary legacy. This is the best biography of the poet I have ever read. -Robert Nye, The Scotsman ,

Bislang gab es nur eine schmale Auswahl aus dem dichterischen Werk des genialen walisischen Rimbaud. Mit dieser Ausgabe wird zum ersten Mal das ganze Panorama der ungestümen Begabung von Dylan Thomas sichtbar: die Mythologie seines Selbst und der Landschaft, deren Märchen und Mythen der Stoff seiner Gedichte sind. Klaus Martens setzt den Grundton für eine übersetzerische Vielstimmigkeit, die überraschend viele neue Töne zur Sprache bringt.

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 Heidenreich Das 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.
