Shepherd War Poet, The £6.95 £0.00 - £-6.95 ISBN: 9781845275945 Hedd Wyn Edited by Myrddin ap Dafydd Publication May 2017 Format: Paperback, 150x155 mm, 96 pages A century after his death as a young man on a blood-soaked battlefield far from his mountain farm, Hedd Wyn\'s name remains seared on an entire nation\'s memory. His home has become a place of pilgrimage, and his story continues to sadden, anger and inspire us. This volume comprises a collection of Hedd Wyn\'s poems in English translation by Howard Huws with 54 striking images.Further Information:He was a shepherd, not a soldier. He was also a promising young poet from the heartland of Meirionnydd. He had learned the craft of Welsh poetry and was killed only a few weeks before the National Eisteddfod in Birkenhead in 1917, the Eisteddfod in which his ode had been deemed worthy of its Chair. His story has a cruel twist in its tail and the loss of Hedd Wyn came to embody all the losses of the First World War in Wales. Hedd Wyn was lost far too early but some of his poems are, without a shadow of doubt, among the most famous and most significant Welsh poems of the 20th century. The translated selection in this volume will reach a wider audience who will feel empathy with the grief, but will also appreciate the values embossed in the poems – the love of country, people, friendship and peace. These are the values that we uphold earnestly when we remember and try to understand what happened a century ago.

Le Berger Poéte Combattant £7.50 £0.00 - £-7.50 ISBN: 9781845275952 Hedd Wyn Edited by Myrddin ap Dafydd Publication May 2017 Format: Paperback, 150x155 mm, 96 pages A French version of the poems of Hedd Wyn (Ellis Humphrey Evans, 1887-1917), who died during the Battle of Passchendaele before receiving the chair he had been awarded at the Birkenhead Welsh National Eisteddfod. Un siècle après la mort de ce jeune homme dans la boue et le sang d\'un champ de bataille, loin de sa ferme de montagne, un parmi des milliers tombés ce même jour, le nom de Hedd Wyn reste marqué au fer rouge dans la mémoire d\'une nation tout entière. Sa maison est devenue un lieu de pèlerinage, et son histoire continue de nourrir notre colère et de nous inspirer. C\'était un berger et non un soldat. C\'était aussi un jeune poète plein de promesse venu du cœur du Merioneth. Il était versé dans l\'art de la poésie galloise et il a été tué quelques semaines avant l\'Eisteddfod National de Birkenhead en 1917, Eisteddfod au cours duquel son ode fut jugée digne de mériter le Trône. Son histoire connaît un tour tragique dans son dénouement, et la perte de Hedd Wyn en est venue à incarner toutes les pertes galloises de la première guerre mondiale. Hedd Wyn est mort beaucoup trop tôt, mais certains de ses poèmes figurent, sans l\'ombre d\'un doute, parmi les poèmes gallois les plus célèbres et les plus marquants du vingtième siècle. La sélection traduite de ce recueil permettra d\'atteindre un plus large public qui va éprouver de l\'empathie pour le chagrin mais saura aussi apprécier les valeurs manifestées dans les poèmes – l\'amour de la patrie, des gens, de l\'amitié et de la paix. Ce sont les valeurs que nous affirmons avec force lorsque nous nous souvenons de ce qui s\'est passé il y a un siècle et que nous essayons de le comprendre.
