About this product
Product Information
Paris (2013) is William Roberts' most ambitious work to date and can best be described as a contemporary historical vel. It concerns an extended family of Russian emigres struggling to survive in Paris and Berlin during the inter-war years of the last century and examines the difficulty of holding on to one's identity in exile. As the waves of political and ideological turmoil impinge directly on the fate of the characters, we see some of them adapt and flourish despite the hostile environment whilst others are destroyed. Referencing European and Russian prose, both Realist and Modernist, the style nevertheless is that of a quintessentially Welsh sensibility; with a rich mosaic of linguistic influences such as the Mabigion, 16C, and 17C Classical Welsh language writers, as well as 21C Welsh dialect and slang. The result is a highly invative hybrid style, which gives the vel its unique voice.Paris, whilst ostensibly a historical vel, examines themes of crucial contemporary relevance: migration, exile, displacement, and identity. Crossing borders, whether from choice or necessity, is a central feature of the vel.Roberts explores the experience of 'the Other', which in this case, is what it means to be a Welsh speaker. He extrapolates the Welsh condition of internal exile: loss of language, loss of culture, loss of identity to a European, historical setting in order to force his Welsh readers to confront their own predicament from a different historical perspective.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
