Bücher von Gwyn Thomas

Gwyn Thomas was born in the Rhondda Valley, in 1913. After a scholarship to Porth County School he read Spanish at St Edmund Hall, Oxford. Mass unemployment and widespread poverty in South Wales deepened his radicalism. After working for the Workers' Educational Association he became a teacher, first in Cardigan and from 1942 in Barry. In 1962 he left teaching and concentrated on writing and broadcasting. His many published works of fiction include 'The Dark Philosophers' (1946); 'The Alone to the Alone'(1947); and 'All Things Betray Thee'(1949). He also wrote several collections of short stories, six stage plays and the autobiography 'A Few Selected Exits'(1968).
