Synopsis
Hywel Mortymer's story begins in 1800 when he is 16, and a dramatic change in fortune leads him, innocent and inexperienced, to a brutal and dangerous life working in the coal mines. In the mines children can be horribly maimed in devastating gas explosions, or grow deformed with the burden of their labors. Wales is in turmoil. A tragic divide between rich and poor, the workers powerless, penniless, starving, and diseased, sparks growing unrest as the newly founded Unions move inexorably towards the Chartist Rebellion. This Proud and Savage Land is a brilliantly detailed chronicle of early 19th-century Wales, and is a prelude to the bestselling Rape of the Fair Country.
