Sinossi
Byron Rogers’ biography of Wales’ s national poet and vicar, R.S. Thomas has been hailed as a ‘ masterpiece’ , even as a work of ‘ genius’ , by reviewers from Craig Brown to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Within someone considered a wintry, austere and unsociable curmudgeon, Rogers has unearthed an extremely funny story – ‘ riotously’ so, in Rowan Williams’ words.
Thomas is widely considered as one of the twentieth-century’ s greatest English language poets. His bitter yet beautiful collections on Wales, its landscape, people and identity, reflect a life of political and spiritual asceticism. Indeed, Thomas is a man who banned vacuum cleaners from his house on grounds of noise, whose first act on moving into an ancient cottage was to rip out the central heating, and whose attempts to seek out more authentically Welsh parishes only brought him more into contact with loud English holidaymakers.
To Thomas’ s many admirers this will be a surprising, sometimes shocking, but at last humanising portrait of someone who wrote truly metaphysical poetry.

The Man Who Went Into the West
Da: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spagna
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Como nuevo. : La biografía de Byron Rogers sobre el poeta y vicario galés R.S. Thomas ha sido aclamada como una obra maestra, incluso como una obra de genio. Rogers ha desenterrado una historia extremadamente divertida dentro de alguien considerado un cascarrabias invernal, austero e insociable. Thomas es ampliamente considerado como uno de los más grandes poetas en inglés del siglo XX. Sus colecciones amargas pero hermosas sobre Gales, su paisaje, su gente y su identidad, reflejan una vida de ascetismo político y espiritual. De hecho, Thomas es un hombre que prohibió las aspiradoras en su casa por motivos de ruido, cuyo primer acto al mudarse a una antigua cabaña fue quitar la calefacción central, y cuyos intentos de buscar parroquias más auténticamente galesas solo lo pusieron más en contacto con ruidosos turistas ingleses. Para los muchos admiradores de Thomas, este será un retrato sorprendente, a veces impactante, pero finalmente humanizador de alguien que escribió poesía verdaderamente metafísica.
