This Proud and Savage Land

Description

Mae stori Hywel Mortymer yn cychwyn yn 1800 ag yntau’n un-ar-bymtheg oed ac yn cael ei orfodi i weithio ym myd peryglus a chaled y pyllau glo. Dyma nofel sy’n cyflwyno darlun manwl o fywyd ar ddechrau’r 19ef ganrif yng Nghymru, ac sy’n rhagarweiniad campus i’r gyfrol boblogaidd Rape of the Fair Country.
Hywel Mortymer’s story begins in 1800 when he is sixteen and a dramatic change in fortune leads him, innocent and inexperienced, to a brutal and dangerous life working in the coal mines. This is a brilliantly detailed chronicle of early nineteenth- century Wales and a prelude to the bestselling Rape of the Fair Country.
