Boy: Tales of Childhood
Autor Roald Dahlen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2011
'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.

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.
