"Considered among the greatest poets of the twentieth century Dylan Thomas has suffered, especially in Italy, publishing a strange destiny. Always on the edge: most commonly cited than read, most commented that studied. And to think that as he scored just the few 'imaginary pop the last century. By Robert Zimmerman, the Welsh poet who was born in Swansea in 1914, drew the name of 'art of Bob Dylan to export our comic Dylan Dog by Tiziano Sclavi, there are many tributes that describe the magic of what was the' last poet cursed. In her life story is now Paul Ferris in a biography that, with poems and unpublished manuscripts (some published in these pages), after ten years of study is published in the latest version in Italy. In the United States and in England the book has enthralled thousands of readers have already bought the film rights to draw a film will be directed by Mick Jagger has always been passionate fans inspired by the poet and his verses in many songs of the Rolling Stones. Why Dylan Thomas was also the only true forerunner of rock star: a life at the 'sign of the excesses of the wildest and most seemingly incomprehensible behavior has sacrificed himself for his art.
The fifteen chapters of the biography Dylan Thomas (Mattioli, 1885, 350 pages, € 22, payable Sept. 16) tells how he was a man deeply troubled, often excessive, in most cases the 'single worst enemy of himself: the poetry was his true reality as its unreality was his way of life. is a portrait of an insecure man, always torn between the temptation of a "normal" life ("I would give anything to be a bank employee with a steady job") and the inevitable fate of bohemian poet, an artist who is struggling against all obstinate to be able to make poetry, but to "build a fortress with a bunch of flowers '. Perhaps for this are ever against the hated bourgeoisie, against the "wealthy people, sober, lean, which is desperate for petrol cars and left without playing bridge with ferocity."

For his reading, as expected today expect rock concerts, was paid handsomely, and the economic factor, for an artist always submerged debt, was not a minor thing, and then fulfilled his continuing need to have an audience. Thomas public, depending on the 'mood alcohol, amused or insulted. In the midst of a reading was suddenly able to get on all fours like a dog howling and issue until someone patted him on the head. When critics are allowed to comment on his poetry in public was thrown to the ground and began to writhe like a man possessed. In his biography of
Ferris many of these behaviors are attributed to drunkenness in which the Welsh poet was often. But Thomas 'Drinking has always been the only means necessary to correct the imbalance between the outside and disorder' internal order to me. " What is certain, however, is that Thomas drank destructively. His own death, which occurred in New York in 1953 only thirty years, has always been attributed to alcohol poisoning brain cells. Ferris, however, after extensive research, for the first time shown as yellow on the death is attributable to a medical error: an 'excessive dose of morphine that was struck to death already weakened by a physical' abuse of alcohol and lung problems. Details that might not change his destiny as a poet and his verses that damn too long in a silent 'period when the ferocity of the bridge seems to triumph. "
