Sophie ne rêve pas, cette nuit-là, quand elle aperçoit de la fenêtre de l'orphelinat une silhouette immense vêtue d'une longue cape noire et munie d'une curieuse trompette. Une main énorme s'approche et la saisit. Et Sophie est emmenée au pays des géants. Terrifiée, elle se demande de quelle façon elle va être dévorée. Mais la petite fille est tombée entre les mains d'un géant peu ordinaire : c'est le B.G.G., le Bon Gros Géant, qui se nourrit de légumes, et souffle des rêves dans les chambres des enfants...

Le Bon Gros Géant

Captured by a giant! The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, or any of the other giants-rather than the BFG-she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that they are flush-bunking off in England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Le bon gros géant

Matilda is a little girl who is far too good to be true. At age five-and-a-half she's knocking off double-digit multiplication problems and blitz-reading Dickens. Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world. For starters she has two of the most idiotic, self-centered parents who ever lived. Then there's the large, busty nightmare of a school principal, Mrs. ("The") Trunchbull, a former hammer-throwing champion who flings children at will and is approximately as sympathetic as a bulldozer. Fortunately for Matilda, she has the inner resources to deal with such annoyances: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and an innate predilection for revenge.She warms up with some practical jokes aimed at her hapless parents, but the true test comes when she rallies in defense of her teacher, the sweet Miss Honey, against the diabolical Trunchbull. There is never any doubt that Matilda will carry the day. Even so, this wonderful story is far from predictable. Roald Dahl, while keeping the plot moving imaginatively, also has an unerring ear for emotional truth. The reader cares about Matilda because in addition to all her other gifts, she has real feelings.

Voici quatre nouvelles où l'on retrouve avec bonheur l'inimitable humour et les dons de conteur de Roald Dahl.À Londres, il pleut souvent. Au beau milieu d'une averse, si un vieux monsieur d'allure distinguée vient offrir à une dame un parapluie, celle-ci, malgré sa méfiance initiale, l'acceptera avec joie. Et ce sera le début d'une histoire aussi stupéfiante qu'amusante.Monsieur Botibol, bien que propriétaire d'une affaire considérable, est demeuré, à l'âge de cinquante ans, un homme complexé et solitaire. Mais la musique fait soudain irruption dans sa triste existence, et la transforme en une succession d'apothéoses quotidiennes, toutes plus éblouissantes les unes que les autres.Ainsi, dans tout ce livre, Roald Dahl se montre décidément au sommet de son art. Avec lui, nous tenons à la fois un moraliste impitoyable démasquant nos petits travers, un humoriste toujours raffiné et, surtout, un merveilleux écrivain.
