Bøger af Roald Dahl

Charlies fantastiske oplevelser begynder, da han finder en guldseddel i en chokoladestang. Han er en af de fem heldige, der vinder et besøg i Willy Wonkas mystiske chokoladeimperium og alt det slik, han kan spise i resten af sit liv. Og hvem vil ikke gerne besøge en fabrik, der fremstiller sliktapeter til børneværelser, tyggegummi, der aldrig mister smagen og bolsjer, der skifter farve hvert tiende sekund? Men besøget på chokoladefabrikken er fuld af både overraskelser og farer, og ikke alle fem børn føler sig lige heldige under besøget ? Flere af Roald Dahls moderne klassikere er blevet filmatiseret. Det gælder Mathilda, Heksene og Charlie og Chokoladefabrikken, der nu for anden gang er blevet filmatiseret, denne gang instrueret af Tim Burton med Johnny Depp i rollen som Willy Wonka. Filmen får dansk premiere 30. september 2005. Omslag: TM & copyright: Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (s05)

Dette er ikke et eventyr. Det handler om rigtige hekse. Og rigtige hekse flyver ikke rundt på kosteskafter. Du kan faktisk sidde ved siden af en heks helt uden at vide det. De ser nemlig ud som ganske almindelige, søde damer, men de er ondskabsfulde og beregnende væsner - som i øvrigt afskyr børn! Så meget at de vil gøre alt for at dræbe dem, hvis de opsnuser bare så meget som lugten af et barn. Og nu planlægger Overheksen at gøre det af med alle Englands børn på én gang. Kan nogen mon stoppe hende?Hovedpersonen i Heksene gør, hvad han kan. Hans seje, norske mormor har lært ham alt, hvad hun ved om disse frygtelige væsener. Og alligevel undgår drengen ikke heksenes forbandelse…Heksene er et pragteksempel på Roald Dahls evne til både at fornøje og forskrække, og med John Kenn Mortensens både ildevarslende, skøre og smukke illustrationer kan en ny generation af børn nu gyse over de børnehadende hekse.Pressen skriver: » […] herligt illustreret i en grotesk, humoristisk stil, som klæder en historie, der stadig vil fange børn i målgruppen og være en fornøjelse at læse op.«– Elisabeth Bennetsen, Lektør »Vi elsker Roald Dahl herhjemme. Han er en mester til at fortælle. Du skal købe denne udgave, fordi John Kenn Mortensen har lavet en række helt unikke illustrationer, som understreger historieren til fulde. Han er klart en af Danmarks bedste illustratorer til det lidt uhyggelige.«- Maria Bruun Fanø, Onsdagsavisen»Er man til gys, er Heksene det rigtige valg. De ondskabsfulde damer, som ligner almindelige mennesker, hader børn, og de dræber de unger, de kan få fingre i. Genudgivelsen af den skrækindjagende fortælling er krydret med nye og særdeles skøre samt mareridts-skabende illustrationer af John Kenn Mortensen. Det er i det hele taget en voldsomt uhyggelig historie, som det kræver gode nerver at komme igennem.«**** - Helle Kastholm Hansen, Ekstra Bladet»Heksene af Roald Dahl, er en helt fantastisk bog […] det lettilgængelige sprog med til, at jeg fløj over siderne, og der gik ikke lang tid før bogen var slut.  Alt i alt var bogen en fantastisk oplevelse. Efter jeg læste denne bog, føler jeg mig nu som en ekspert i hekse.«9/10 stjerner - Bookeater »En elsket børnebogsklassiker, som skræmte begge mine børn fra vid og sans. Til deres store fornøjelse!«- Trine Færge Haurits Nielsen, Midtjyllands Avis

The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the first of two unsettling and sinister volumes.'They are brutal, these stories, and yet you finish reading each one with a smile, or maybe even a hollow laugh, certainly a shiver of gratification, because the conclusion always seems so right' Charlie Higson, from his introduction.Roald Dahl is one of the most popular writers of the modern age, effortlessly writing for children and adults alike. In this, the first of two volumes chronologically collecting all his published adult short stories, we see how Dahl began by using his experiences in the war to write fiction but quickly turned to his powerful and dark imagination to pen some of the most unsettling and disquieting tales ever written.In 27 stories, written between 1944 and 1953, we encounter such classic tales as 'Man from the South', featuring a wager with appalling consequences; 'Lamb to the Slaughter', in which a wife murders her husband yet has a novel idea for throwing the police off the scent; and in 'The Sound Machine', the horrific truth about plants is revealed.Enter the sinister, twisted world of Roald Dahl: whether you're young or old, you'll never want to leave.'Roald Dahl is one of the few writers I know whose work can accurately be described as addictive' Irish Times'The great magician' SpectatorLook out for Volume Two, introduced by Anthony Horowitz 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.

Roald Dahls dystermuntre mesterværk, Heksene, er nu endelig tilgængelig som grafisk roman. Kvinden bag er den Eisner-prisvindende kunstner Pénélope Bagieu, der også har skabt Cobolts Skamløs-serie. Hekse findes, og de er meget, meget farlige. De går i almindeligt tøj, har almindelige jobs og de bor i helt almindelige byer verden over - og så er der intet, de foragter mere end børn. Så meget at de har planer om at forvandle alle Englands børn om til mus. Heksenes otte-årige hovedperson og hans norske bedstemor er måske de eneste i verden, der kan forhindre den grusomme plan. De fleste kender historien og det hæsblæsende forløb på et kurhotel i Sydengland. Men at se det i billeder er en anden ting. Pénélope Bagieu fortæller om betydningen af få lov til at genskabe Dahls værk: »Der var nogle specifikke scener, som jeg ikke kunne vente med at tegne, især dem, der havde skræmt mig, da jeg selv var otte år. Heksene er som skabt til at blive omdannet til en grafisk roman; den har alle ingredienserne til det: skøre actionscener, forfærdelige skurke og farverige figurer.«
