註釋

James Harris's 1888 translation of the classic Welsh novel by Daniel Owen.Three young men of similar parentage choose contrasting paths through life. Will Bartley, mischievous and charming, sets his sights on success in business, while Robert Lewis the mineworker, unjustly excluded from the Methodist chapel, begins a political crusade against injustice. Meanwhile, Robert’s younger brother, Rhys, has set his heart on becoming a preacher. This classic novel, teeming with strikers, shop-keepers, farmers and thieves, provides a vivid cross-section of Wales at a turning point in its history, and a profound meditation on the conflict between the strictures of morality and the goodness of the heart.Daniel Owen (1836-1895), the son of a coalminer killed in a mining accident, and the apprentice of a draper and Methodist elder, became a poet and short-story writer, and one of the first and greatest of Welsh-language novelists.
