James and the Giant Peach

In Going Solo, the world's favourite storyteller, Roald Dahl, tells of life as a fighter pilot in Africa.

'They   did not think for one moment that they would find anything but a   burnt-out fuselage and a charred skeleton, and they were astounded when   they came upon my still-breathing body lying in the sand nearby.' In   1938 Roald Dahl was fresh out of school and bound for his first job in   Africa, hoping to find adventure far from home. However, he got far  more  excitement than he bargained for when the outbreak of the Second  World  War led him to join the RAF. His account of his experiences in  Africa,  crashing a plane in the Western Desert, rescue and recovery  from his  horrific injuries in Alexandria, flying a Hurricane as Greece  fell to  the Germans, and many other daring deeds, recreates a world as  bizarre  and unnerving as any he wrote about in his fiction.
 
'Very  nearly  as grotesque as his fiction. The same compulsive blend of  wide-eyed  innocence and fascination with danger and horror' Evening Standard 'A non-stop demonstration of expert raconteurship' The New York Times Book Review 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.

Going solo

How do you outwit a Twit? Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything -- except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don't just want out, they want revenge.

Les Deux Gredins

The Enormous Crocodile is incredibly hungry-and incredibly greedy. His favorite meal is a plump, juicy little child, and he intends to gobble up as many of them as he can! But when the other animals in the jungle join together to put an end to his nasty schemes, the Enormous Crocodile learns a lesson he won't soon forget. Dahl's wicked humor is as delightful as ever in this new, larger edition of a hilarious favorite.  Illustrated by Quentin Blake.

L'énorme Crocodile

Les deux gredins ont plus de défauts que de taches sur leurs oripeaux. Compère gredin ne lave jamais sa barbe, qu'il a d'ailleurs fort longue et drue. Sa commère, cette vieille sorcière, a un oeil de verre et un sale caractère. Les bandits se détestent, se chamaillent. Ils essaient de s'envoyer sur la lune. Mais dès qu'il s'agit de terroriser des enfants ou des animaux sans défense, le vieux bouc et sa chipie d'épouse forment une "formidable" équipe de crapules... Dans ce roman enlevé, Roald Dahl brosse avec un humour décapant les portraits de deux abominables vieillards cent pour cent affreux. Ces retraités, d'un genre particulier, ont un hobby. Au lieu de jardiner, comme tout un chacun, ils sont méchants toute la journée. Entre eux, ils se jouent des tours pendables. Avec les autres, ils sont épouvantables. Heureusement ! Ils sont encore plus bêtes que méchants. Les Deux Gredins est une histoire qui réjouit ou fait grincer des dents. Cela dépend... Cela dépend si on est gentil ou si on est méchant ! --Romat

James's aunts call him names, beat and starve him and make his life a misery. If only his parents hadn't been eaten by an escaped rhinoceros, he wouldn't be in this mess. But one day he meets a man who gives him a bag of magic crocodile tongues and so begins the adventure of his dreams.
