| Synopsis: |
Goronwy Rees' A Bundle of Sensations (1960) was described as 'an attempt to recover from the past some of the most vivid chapters in the author's life' and in this distinctive autobiography Rees found his true literary voice. By choosing episodes from his life which held wider public significance, he attempted to capture the spirit of the times in which he lived. A Bundle of Sensations describes Rees' wartime experiences and his intelligence work as well as containing essays concerning his chapel childhood and a summer spent in Germany during the days of the Weimar republic. At the heart of A Chapter of Accidents (1972) lies his complex relationship with Guy Burgess, a disastrous entanglement culminating in his acrimonious departure from his position as Principal of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. He also discusses his childhood in Wales and his time at Oxford, making the book, in his words, 'both a chapter of autobiography and a reflection of English (and also Welsh) life between 1930 and 1955'. This edition of Goronwy Rees: Sketches in Autobiography is augmented with extensive introductory matter, full background and explanatory notes, and also includes 'A Winter in Berlin', a brilliantly effective evocation of Berlin under Nazi rule in 1934. |
