Roald Dahl strana 14 z 26

Danny valóban szupersrác. Persze ezt be is kell bizonyítania! Ehhez szüksége van, csínykedvelő apukájára, nagyképű szomszédra, egy fura doktorra és persze csillogó tollú, jól megtermett fácánokra... Hogy a hajmeresztő kalamajkából kisül-e valami, arról "meghökkentő" és vicces Roald Dahl gondoskodik.

Vonka úr találmányai fantasztikusak. Csodálatos csokigyárában minden elképzehető édességet feltalált, de senki nem látta még se Vonka Vilmos urat, se a gyárat belülről. Charlie maga sem hisz a szerencséjében, amikor nyer egy aranybilétát, ami élete legnagyobb élményéhez segíti: körülvezetik a híres csokoládégyárban. De arra álmában sem gondolt, hogy odabent mi minden vár rá!

A nyolcéves Georgie egy napon egyedül marad zsémbes és kötekedő nagymamájával. Szülei a lelkére kötik, hogy ne felejtse el időben beadni a nagymama gyógyszerét. Ehelyett Georgie kotyvaszt egy csodaszérumot. Amint elkészül, megitatja a nagyival. A hatás minden várakozást felülmúl...

Môže malé dievčatko zvíťaziť nad hroznými, ozrutnými obrami - ľudožrútmi, ktorí šíria strach po celej krajine? Máte pravdu - nemôže. Iba ak ... iba ak by jej pomohol dobrý kamarát, rovnako veľký ako oni - Kamoš obor. A nemyslite si, že malá Sophia prežíva v príbehu iba strach a napätie. Kamoš obor je totiž veľmi zábavný spoločník a Sophiu i vás často rozosmeje. No a pretože má rád deti, určite sa stane aj vaším kamarátom. V knihe sa stretnete dokonca aj s anglickou kráľovnou. Ilustroval Quentin Blake.

Pokračovanie príbehu malého Charlieho z továrne na čokoládu. Nik nepochybuje o tom, že pán Wonka je úžasný čokoládový mág, ale Charlie i jeho rodina ani trochu nedôverujú jeho pilotným schopnostiam, najmä ak tá vec, ktorú pilotuje, je veľký sklený výťah, stúpajúci do stratosféry. No život s pánom Wonkom nikdy nie je nudný, a ak aj niekoho nechtiac dostane do problémov, určite ich nakoniec aj hravo vyrieši... alebo nie?

Malý Jakub je sirota. Jeho dve tety, Chuduľa a Bacuľa, s ktorými žije, sa k nemu veru nesprávajú práve najlepšie - vytrpí si od nich dosť ústrkov, nadávok ba i bitky. Jeho život plynie bezútešne, plný tvrdej práce medzi múrmi záhrady a domu, bez jediného priateľa. Jednej noci sa však všetko zmení: v záhrade vyrastie broskyňa obrovská ako dom. Kto býva v kôstke tejto rozprávkovej broskyne, by vás deti, ani vo sne nenapadlo. Tiež by ste si iste nepomysleli, že tieto prečudesné a na prvý pohľad strašné tvory sa stanú Jakubkovými najlepšími priateľmi, s ktorými prežije fantastickú cestu ponad oceán. Tento čarovný príbeh je ilustrovaný originálnymi kresbičkami Quentina Blaka, jedného z najuznávanejších britských ilustrátorov. Kniha zaujala aj amerických tvorcov animovaných filmov a tak si Jakubove dobrodružstvá môžete vychutnať aj vo filmovej podobe. Ilustroval Quentin Blake.

Karlík Bucket, chlapec z chudé rodiny, souhrou šťastných náhod získá los, který mu umožní spolu s dalšími dětskými výherci navštívit továrnu na čokoládu pana Willyho Wonky. Návštěva se pro všechny děti kromě Karlíka promění v hrůzný zážitek, protože Umpa-lumpové, kteří sladkosti vyrábějí, je postupně vytrestají za jejich špatné vlastnosti – jedno spadne do čokoládové řeky, další zfialoví a ještě jiné je svrženo do odpadní šachty. Nakonec zbývá jen Karlík. Pan Wonka pro něj coby výherce přichystal nebývalé překvapení. Podle příběhu byl natočen film s Johnny Deppem v roli pana Wonky.

Zatímco autorovy slavné hororové povídky charakterizuje jedovatá bizarnost, čtyři příběhy ze sbírky Milostné rošády jsou precizně komponované originální anekdoty s překvapivou, až šokující pointou - povídky o "bezbolestné bolesti", v různých hávech obměňující české přísloví "kdo jinému jámu kopá, sám do ní padá"… Jsou to mistrné, dějově sevřené grotesky naplněné černým humorem, které často připomenou vycizelované arabesky Poeovy.

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". (Spectator). Look out for Volume Two, introduced by Anthony Horowitz Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories 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.

The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the second of two unsettling and sinister volumes. "Dahl finds the child in the adult and the adult in the child and, with a little smile, he sticks the knife in both". (Anthony Horowitz, from his introduction). Roald Dahl is one of the world's most popular writers, equally at home writing for both children and adults. In this, the second of two volumes chronologically collecting all his published adult short stories, we experience Dahl's dark and powerful imagination in full flight in 28 stories written between 1954 and 1988 (including eight tales which are not available in any other printed edition). Here, in 'Parson's Pleasure', a piece of furniture is the subject of a deceitful bargain; in 'William and Mary', a wife revenges herself on her dead husband; and in 'Royal Jelly' some new parents find an unusual and unsettling way to give their newborn its start in life. Whether you're young or old, once you've stepped into the brilliant, troubling world of Roald Dahl, you'll never be the same again. "One of the most widely read and influential writers of our generation". (The Times). "The absolute master of the twist in the tale". (Observer). Look out for Volume One, introduced by Charlie Higson. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories 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.

Matilda - Roald Dahl's best-loved story - is an unbelievable 25 years old yet it's as fresh, funny and poignant as when it was first published in 1988. The story of a child genius, it has been adapted into film and, most recently, a hugely successful, award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin. To celebrate her birthday we've created this gorgeous pink slipcase edition with 6 full colour plates of Quentin Blake's iconic illustrations. Matilda's parents have called her some terrible things, but the truth is she's a genius and they're the stupid ones. Underestimating Matilda proves to be a big mistake as they, along with her spiteful headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, soon find out when Matilda discovers she has a very special power. Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after "a monumental bash on the head", sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. His books continue to be bestsellers, despite his death in 1990, and total sales are over 100 million worldwide! Quentin Blake is one of Britain's most successful illustrators. His first drawings were published in Punch when he was sixteen. He has illustrated nearly three hundred books and he was Roald Dahl's favourite illustrator. He has won many awards including the Whitbread Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal. Besides being an illustrator he taught for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art and in 1999 he became the first ever Children's Laureate!
