Rhys Lewis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhys Lewis is a novel by Daniel Owen, written in the Welsh language and first published in 1885. Its full title is Hunangofiant Rhys Lewis, Gweinidog Bethel ("The autobiography of Rhys Lewis, minister of Bethel").[1] It is generally agreed to be the first significant novel written in the Welsh language, and is to date one of the longest.
The novel has been adapted for Welsh-language television (S4C).[2]
"If we are some imperfection on this beautiful earth then who are we to dictate its future. Or if we truly are the masters then why do the trees not obey us? And why can we not magically have peace for all human kind? The day we can answer these questions and many more is the day we die."
