Detailní informace

The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the first of two unsettling and sinister volumes.''They are brutal, these stories, and yet you finish reading each one
with a smile, or maybe even a hollow laugh, certainly a shiver of
gratification, because the conclusion always seems so right''
Charlie
Higson, from his introduction.Roald Dahl is one of the most
popular writers of the modern age, effortlessly writing for children and
adults alike. In this, the first of two volumes chronologically
collecting all his ...published adult short stories, we see how Dahl began
by using his experiences in the war to write fiction but quickly turned
to his powerful and dark imagination to pen some of the most unsettling
and disquieting tales ever written.In 27 stories, written
between 1944 and 1953, we encounter such classic tales as ''Man from the
South'', featuring a wager with appalling consequences; ''Lamb to the
Slaughter'', in which a wife murders her husband yet has a novel idea for
throwing the police off the scent; and in ''The Sound Machine'', the
horrific truth about plants is revealed.Enter the sinister, twisted world of Roald Dahl: whether you''re young or old, you''ll never want to leave.''Roald Dahl is one of the few writers I know whose work can accurately be described as addictive''
Irish Times''The great magician''

for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed
and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald
Dahl''s Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl''s stories continue to make readers shiver today.Více...
