Boy: Tales of Childhood

Autor Roald Dahl
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2011
Boy is Roald Dahl's extraordinary glimpse into his childhood and early life.

'An autobiography is a book a person writes about his own life and it is usually full of all sorts of boring details. This is not an autobiography. I would never write a history of myself. On the other hand, throughout my young days at school and just afterwards a number of things happened to me that I have never forgotten . . .'
Boyis a funny, insightful and at times grotesque glimpse into the early life of Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors. We discover his experiences of the English public school system, the idyllic paradise of summer holidays in Norway, the pleasures (and pains) of the sweetshop, and how it is that he avoided being a Boazer.
This is the unadulterated childhood - sad and funny, macabre and delightful - that inspired Britain's favourite storyteller and also speaks of an age which vanished with the coming of the Second World War.

'As frightening and funny as his fiction'The New York Times Book Review
'Superbly written. A glimpse of a brilliant eccentric'New Statesman

Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author ofCharlie 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 Talesby Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.

Notă biografică

Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in 1916 in Wales of Norwegian parents. He was educated in England before starting work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa, and began writing after a 'monumental bash on the head' sustained as an RAF fighter pilot during the Second World War. He worked in a tiny hut in the apple orchard of his house in Buckinghamshire until his death in 1990 at the age of 74. Roald Dahl's many books continue to be read by children the world over who delight in the magic of his marvellous storytelling. His books continue to be bestsellers, despite his death in 1990, and total sales are 100 million worldwide!

A shimmering fabric of his yesterdays, the magic and the hurt
Brilliantly coloured, sometimes grotesque and sometimes magical
As frightening and funny as his fiction
