About the author
Roald Dahl
1,544 books27.5k followersRoald Dahl was a beloved British author, poet, screenwriter, and wartime fighter pilot, best known for his enchanting and often darkly humorous children's books that have captivated generations of readers around the world. Born in Llandaff, Wales, to Norwegian parents, Dahl led a life marked by adventure, tragedy, creativity, and enduring literary success. His vivid imagination and distinctive storytelling style have made him one of the most celebrated children's authors in modern literature.
Before becoming a writer, Dahl lived a life filled with excitement and hardship. He served as a Royal Air Force pilot during World War II, surviving a near-fatal crash in the Libyan desert. His wartime experiences and travels deeply influenced his storytelling, often infusing his works with a sense of danger, resilience, and the triumph of the underdog. After the war, he began writing for both adults and children, showing a rare versatility that spanned genres and age groups.
Dahl's children's books are known for their playful use of language, unforgettable characters, and a deep sense of justice, often pitting clever children against cruel or foolish adults. Some of his most iconic titles include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr Fox, and The Witches. These works are filled with fantastical elements and moral undertones, empowering young readers to challenge authority, think independently, and believe in the impossible.
Equally acclaimed for his work for adults, Dahl wrote numerous short stories characterized by their macabre twists and dark humor. His stories were frequently published in magazines such as The New Yorker and later compiled into bestselling collections like Someone Like You and Kiss Kiss. He also wrote screenplays, including the James Bond film You Only Live Twice and the adaptation of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Despite his literary success, Dahl was a complex and sometimes controversial figure, known for his strong opinions and difficult personality. Nonetheless, his books continue to be treasured for their wit, originality, and the sense of wonder they inspire. Many of his stories have been adapted into successful films, stage plays, and television specials, further cementing his legacy.
Dahl's impact on children's literature is immeasurable. His ability to connect with young readers through a mix of irreverence, heart, and imagination has made his stories timeless. Even after his death, his books remain in print and continue to be read by millions of children worldwide. His writing not only entertains but also encourages curiosity, courage, and compassion.
Roald Dahl's work lives on as a testament to the power of storytelling and the magic of a truly original voice. He remains a towering figure in literature whose creations continue to spark joy, mischief, and inspiration across generations.

Aquesta recopilació se m'ha fet pesada de llegir. Mentre que l'"Intercanvi de parelles" pot semblar una gràcia, fa apologia a la cultura de la violació. L'espatlla de xai és un thriller agradable, "l'home del sud" podria arribar a ser realisme màgic sinó fos per l'escabròs desenllaç (però encara és passable). "El gran gramatitzador automàtic" va del desenvolupament d'un chatGPT mecànic, podia semblar quatre capítols de Black Mirror als anys 70-80, però ara ja no resulta gaire sorprenent.

Realment no m'imaginava que Roald Dahl hagués escrit relats per a adults, però ha estat un gran descobriment. Els quatre són molt imaginatius i n'hi ha des de macabres, crítics fins a més sexuals (el que dona nom al llibre). Tots tenen bons finals i no decepcionen.

Em va sorprendre que el Roald Dahl hagués fet contes per a adults. Originals, fantasiosos i amb bons finals.

En este recopilatorio que sin duda me llamó la atención por su título, hay sólo cuatro relatos de Dahl, así que se lee muy rápido y además es uno de esos libros que se disfruta muchísimo, tanto que una casi tiene la sensación de estar ante un placer culpable, pero esto es una tontería porque, entre otras cosas, los placeres culpables no tendrían que existir, almenos en lo que se refiere a libros. Hay un cuento acerca de un pringado que se quiere acostar con la vecina, para esto decide pasarse de listo y termina saliendo escaldado. En otro, una mujer hace un uso muy especial de una espalda de cordero. En el siguiente dos hombres hacen una apuesta algo macabra. Y en el último, quizás el que tenga más miga y más lecturas escondidas, un escritor fracasado construye una máquina automática para realizar relatos literarios. Todos tienen en común su agilidad, su humor negro y su notable mala leche (algo que se agradece mucho). Son una delicia.
