Dylan Thomas
Under the Milk Forest
"They were all thrilled by this grandiose classic by the word world champion Dylan Thomas - Bob Dylan (who named himself after him), the Stones, the Beatles, Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton, Igor Stravinsky - and me too!" Elke Heidenreich
"Unter dem Milchwald" is perhaps the most beautiful piece of literature written in Europe in the 20th century. It describes the life and inhabitants of the small fishing village of Llareggub on the Welsh coast. We follow the inhabitants into their dreams, we sit in their parlors, listen to the conversations in a tavern, look into the bridal chambers of unmarried girls, learn about the nightmares of the blind Captain Cat and, in particular, follow the secret lovers up into the milk forest. A unique prose that lives from images, onomatopoeia, wordplay and exuberant fantasies.
