Under Milk Wood

Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas' play is the remarkable, lyrical account of the fictional seaside town of Llareggub.

Hailed by some as his finest work, Under Milk Wood is in turn funny, touching, and delighful.

Completed in 1953, the year of his death at the age of 39, Dylan Thomas wanted to create a radio play that reflected the places he knew in Wales - particularly Laugharne, New Quay and Swansea.

A 'play for voices', Under Milk Wood was Thomas' attempt to write a 'Welsh Ulysses'. Heavily influenced by James Joyce's masterpiece, it recounts the dreams, gossip and waking hours of the sleepy seaside village over a period of 24 hours.

Under Milk Wood was chosen by BBC news presenter Sian Williams as her Welsh book of choice.

《乳樹林下》被一些讀者贊譽為托馬斯最好的一部作品，時而幽默風趣、時而感人肺腑、時而又輕松歡快。

《乳樹林下》完成于1953年，也就是托馬斯39歲去世的同一年。他曾想要創作一臺廣播劇，反映他所了解的威爾士各地，尤其是拉法恩、新碼頭和斯旺西。

《乳樹林下》是一部“反映各種聲音的劇著”，是托馬斯嘗試寫作的“威爾士的尤里西斯”。它深受James Joyce(詹姆斯·喬伊斯)杰作的影響，敘述了昏睡的海濱小鎮在24小時內的夢想與流言，以及它漸漸蘇醒的時刻。

《乳樹林下》被BBC新聞主持人Sian Williams(希恩·威廉斯)選為她的威爾士優選書籍。
