Finally Ukraine too meets the first book of “adult” stories by Roald Dahl (1916—1990), an award winning writer, one of the most significant English writers of XX century, whose centennial has been widely celebrated all over the world.
The books comprises Dahl’s stories that have already become classics in Western Europe and in the U.S. Roald Dahl is known as a master of dark humour, a “gentle misanthrope” whose primary goal is storytelling – often quasi- burlesque, quasi-detective, quasi-fictional. A lot of his novels – both children’s and adult, have been made into films, and his every book has been a great success. The writer makes a reader ravenously devour page after page waiting for a tricky ending – a brilliant final surprise.
Ukrainians know Dahl primarily by his outstanding children’s novels – “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “Matilda”, “The BFG” and others, all published by A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA Publishers.
