Sinossi
Per la prima volta in Italia, vengono raccolti in un unico volume tutti i racconti di Roald Dahl, uno dei grandi maestri della short story, autore di opere di narrativa e di libri per ragazzi di grande successo internazionale. Enigmatiche e illuminanti, le storie di Dahl sono spesso attraversate da una vena di humour macabro tanto più efficace quanto più ispirata da situazioni del tutto normali, che il gusto raffinato e implacabile dell'autore conduce a esiti imprevedibili e non di rado addirittura cinici (ma di un cinismo sobrio, impeccabile). «I suoi racconti» ha osservato Corrado Augias, «sono perfette macchine narrative: la situazione di partenza sembra comune, addirittura banale, ma nel corso della vicenda subentra un piccolo incidente che rovescia in modo sinistro o grottesco i fatti? Dahl ha l'abilità di far diventare la cattiveria una qualità rivelatrice della natura umana.»

Recensioni
Dahl’s adult stories are not as famous as his children’s books. Taken as a whole, The Collected Stories is as impressive as Saki’s Complete Works if you ask me. Many of these stories, for me, were the antidote to reality. His characters, their perpetually gleaming eyes, their moist lips, constantly Leggi tutto
If you really think about it, Roald Dahl is one sick bastard. He has a kid squeezed up a narrow pipe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and experiences an impromptu liposuction. He has two aunts steamrolled by a giant peach in James and the Giant Peach and left for dead. He has a husband and wife p Leggi tutto
Якщо досі читали виключно дитячі книги від Дала, особистий рекомендасйон, почитати його оповідання для дорослих. Геть по-іншому відкривається автор (хоч подекуди і є спільні знаменники в характерах героїв як дитячої так і дорослої прози). Найяскравішим контраст буде після прочитання оповідання Свиня.

This collection took me a really really long time to finish. Can't say that I liked all the short stories but the best was the part of Tales of the Unexpected. This collection contains all the short stories by Roald Dahl,some very interesting enough to keep you interested till the very end. The stor Leggi tutto
By far one of my favorite collections of short stories. If you really enjoyed thinking of Roald Dahl as the sweet children's author of the BFG and Charlie and the Chocolate factory then you shouldn't pick this one up. Dahl shows his truly sick and twisted colors in these wonderfully colorful, tales- Leggi tutto
Mega recopilación de toda la obra corta y adulta de Roald Dahl. Todos los relatos están estupendamente escritos y tienen algo que retiene tu atención. Mis preferidos son los extraídos de “El gran cambiazo” que tienen de protagonista a Oswaldo Cornelius (el mismo de su única novela "Mi tío Oswald") “ Leggi tutto
This book has pride of place on my bookshelf. Now and again I take it down and re-read it. Of all authors, Roald Dahl has been the most influential for my own writing. Many think Dahl writes children's stories, but this collection is strictly for adults. Classy, amusing, gruesome, and with a twist a Leggi tutto
