Sinossi

Under Milk Wood is a radio drama written by Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas. It was first broadcast on the BBC in 1954, after Thomas's death in 1953. The play is set in the fictional Welsh seaside village of Llareggub (read backward, it spells "bugger all"), and it provides a portrait of the town's inhabitants as they go about their daily lives.

The play is known for its lyrical and poetic language, capturing the dreams, desires, and inner thoughts of the characters. Thomas narrates the play, providing a rich and vivid description of the various residents and their activities, both during the day and at night. 

Dylan Thomas (1914–1953) was a Welsh poet and writer, best known for his vivid and highly imaginative poetry. Born in Swansea, Wales, Thomas showed an early interest in literature and began writing poems during his teenage years. His early exposure to the works of poets like Gerard Manley Hopkins and W.B. Yeats influenced his poetic style.

Dylan Thomas led a tumultuous and bohemian lifestyle, marked by heavy drinking and a reputation for being a charismatic and passionate performer during his poetry readings. He spent much of his career in London and the United States. Unfortunately, his life was cut short at the age of 39 when he died in New York City in 1953.

Mary Shelly: FRANKENSTEIN

Mary Shelley

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, and this audiobook is read from that text. Shelley's name appeared on the revised third edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein" (especially in films since 1931), despite this being the name of the scientist, and the creature being unnamed in the book itself. Frankenstein is a novel infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully-realised science fiction novel and raises many issues still relevant to today's society
