You all know at least a story invented by the author's great, thanks to adaptations of his books to the screen, either ' Matilda', ' Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ' or more recently 'Fantastic Mr Fox '.
All books by Roald Dahl (Norwegian name of his paternal family) are readable by adults, and the incredible stories and the many characters he has invented can please every reader, the hallmark of this tireless storyteller being an explosive mix between very funny and very sordid. Feel free to read everything he wrote.

If you are curious about the author, I recommend his autobiography, check out my message of June 24, 2009.
If you like the most sordid, read the following book:
' Tales of the Unexpected ' by Roald Dahl (1979 -280 pages)
Minimum level required: B2 (to determine your level of reading, see the pages of June 09 of this blog)
is a series of 16 new plots all over the stripping each other. They are masterfully articulated around a priori characters that are harmless and meek finally diabolically ruthless and cynical.
All differ on the merits, but they compete with cruelty and horror perfectly performed ... An English (or Norwegian! - a little blood Viking, No Doubt ;-).
