Profedigaethau Enoc Huws (Daniel Owen)

“Mi a wn ei fod yn bwnc tyner a llednais i’w grybwyll – mi a wn mai mwy hyfryd i’r teimlad yw gwrando ar leisiwr da yn canu, ‘Cymru Lân, gwlad y gân,’ a rhoi encore iddo, ac iddo yntau drachefn roddi i ni ‘Hen wlad y menig gwynion.’ Ond ynfytyn a fyddai y dyn a dybiai ei fod wedi cael holl hanes Cymru yn y ddwy gân.”

Despite his outward respectability, Captain Richard Trefor's luck is running out, and his debts are being called in. His only hope is to start up a new venture, and find someone rich enough - and naive enough - to invest in it. Perhaps the prim, comfortable shopkeeper Enoc Huws will do? Of course, he's deep in love with Susi, the Captain's daughter. What will run out first - Enoc's money, Susi's patience, or Captain Trefor's mischief? 

Daniel Owen (1836-1895) was the first great novelist to write in Welsh, and Enoc Huws he is at the peak of his satirical and literary powers, producing one of the acknowledged high points of Victorian literature in Welsh. A social comedy, its humour and wit are masterfully interwoven with subtle social commentary, and its attack on hypocrisy remains as relevant as ever. This new edition presents the full Welsh unabridged text of Daniel Owen's classic.
