Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl bol britský spisovateľ, známy hlavne od roku 1940 tvorbou pre deti i dospelých. K jeho najznámejším dielam patrí "Charlie a továreň na čokoládu" , "Matilda", "Čarodejnica" a "Jakub a obrovská broskyňa". Z jeho tvorby pre dospelých je asi najznámejšia kniha poviedok "Ľúbostné rošády".

Roald Dahl sa narodil 13. septembra v roku 1916 v Spojenom kráľovstve. Jeho rodičia sa tam prisťahovali z Nórska. Keď mal  4 roky, umrel jeho otec na zápal pľúc, predtým prišiel o sedemročnú sestru Astri. Jeho matka ostala na Britských ostrovoch. Bol výborným športovcom, hral za školský futbalový tím a bol aj kapitánom školského sqauhového tímu.

Po skončení školy sa stal obchodným zástupcom firmy Shell pre oblasť východnej Afriky. V roku 1939 nastúpil do Royal Air Force, kde získal hodnosť Pilot Officer. Pri havárii jeho litedla v Lýbii sa zranil, mal fraktúru lebky a dočasne oslepol. V nemocnici v Alexandrii sa zamiloval do sestričky, keď sa mu však vrátil zrak, zistil, že láska nie je slepá a uvedomil si, že bol zamilovaný len do jej hlasu. V roku 1941 sa vrátil do Británie, pretože ho bolesti hlavy  prinútili zavesiť kariéru pilota na klinec.

Roald Dahl začal písať po prevelení do Washingtonu. V roku 1953 sa v New Yorku oženil s herečkou Patriciou Nealovou, boli svoji 30 rokov a mali päť detí: Oliviu (zomrela v siedmich rokoch), Tessu, Thea, Opheliu a Lucy. Olivii neskôr venoval knihu Kamoš obor. S manželkou sa rozviedli v roku 1983, dôvodom bola o 22 rokov mladšia  Felicity d'Abreu Crosland,ktorú si po rozvode vzal.

Zomrel 23. novembra v roku 1990 na leukémiu vo svojom dome v Great Missendene, Buckinghamshire. Jeho vdova pokračovala v jeho neúnavnej charitatívnej činnosti prostredníctvom nadácie nesúcej jeho meno.

Milostné rošády 7. vydání


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.
