Descrição do produto

Contracapa

If you could see with your eyes closed . . . Would you use your power for good or for personal gain? That's what Henry has to decide in "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar", one of the seven short stories in this extraordinary collection. A giant turtle and a very special boy who can talk to animals, a cunning hitchhiker and the curious driver who picks him up, and a very lucky plowman who finds a fabulous fortune but loses a golden opportunity are only a few of the characters you'll meet. A clever mix of fact and fiction, this collection also includes the story of how master storyteller Roald Dahl became a writer (and a wealth of tips for aspiring authors). With Roald Dahl, you can never be sure where reality ends and fantasy begins.

Sobre o Autor

Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. He spent his childhood in England and, at age eighteen, went to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. When World War II broke out, he joined the Royal Air Force and became a fighter pilot. At the age of twenty-six he moved to Washington, D.C., and it was there he began to write. His first short story, which recounted his adventures in the war, was bought by The Saturday Evening Post, and so began a long and illustrious career.

After establishing himself as a writer for adults, Roald Dahl began writing children's stories in 1960 while living in England with his family. His first stories were written as entertainment for his own children, to whom many of his books are dedicated.

Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of our time. Although he passed away in 1990, his popularity continues to increase as his fantastic novels, including James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, delight an ever-growing legion of fans.

Great but not recommended for children

In this collection of stories baRoald Dahl you will find great ficitional and non-fictional stories.

In this book you will find seven stories by Roald Dahl (1916-1990). And although the illustration on the cover by Quetin Blake suggests this might be a book for children the stories are definitely not. And the reason is not that there are not more illustrations in the book.
In the story „The Swan“ a young boy is tormented by other children. Not just with words, „Shut your mouth...Nobody‘s askin‘ yout opinion“ but also with violence, „Peter saw the gun coming up to the shoulder. It was pointing straight at him.“ This world pictured is hard and cruel but if you have in mind that this cannot be suitable for children it really is a great story. A story that left me breathless after reading it. Full of magic and love like the other six ones.
Roald Dahl is a well known writer of fiction stories for adults like the stories about uncle Oswald. Yes it is the man who is a sex maniac and gets therefore in a lot of trouble. But the welsh author is by far more known for his children stories, like the BFG or Charlie and the chocolat factory. Many storiers by Dahl have been made into fantastic movies.
Of the seven stories in this book three are not fiction. This is very uncommen for Dahl. „For me, the pleasure of writing comes with inventing stiories.“ Dahl tells how it came that he became a writer. He even gives the reader advice how to start as a writer.
As you might heard he was a pilot for the Royal Air Force in the second World war. And before that he worked in East Africa for the Shell Oil Company. About his life as a young boy at the boarding school he cites a school report, „His punches are not well-timed and are easily seen coming.“
Whether the masters, like teachers have been named in this time, didn‘t see his talent or he was really worse, is unclear. But i doubt he was such a bad writer. You can check this on your own in reading his first ever published story which he wrote in 1942, „ piece of cake“. C.S. Forester says about this story, „It is the work of a gifted writer“. The story might be the weakest in this collection of stories, but here and there you can find the gifted writer.
The title story „The wonderful Story of Henry Sugar“ is about a man who with the help of yoga learns to see with his eyes closed and what he uses it for is another great story.
