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.

《乳树林下》被一些读者赞誉为托马斯最好的一部作品，时而幽默风趣、时而感人肺腑、时而又轻松欢快。

《乳树林下》完成于1953年，也就是托马斯39岁去世的同一年。他曾想要创作一台广播剧，反映他所了解的威尔士各地，尤其是拉法恩、新码头和斯旺西。

《乳树林下》是一部“反映各种声音的剧著”，是托马斯尝试写作的“威尔士的尤里西斯”。它深受James Joyce(詹姆斯·乔伊斯)杰作的影响，叙述了昏睡的海滨小镇在24小时内的梦想与流言，以及它渐渐苏醒的时刻。

《乳树林下》被BBC新闻主持人Sian Williams(希恩·威廉斯)选为她的威尔士优选书籍。
