Book Description
Due racconti pieni di ironia sul mondo dei libri. Qual è il segreto che consente a un (apparentemente) rispettabile libraio antiquario londinese di condurre una vita lussuosa e spregiudicata con la sua amante segretaria? Di che cosa trattano quei libri che tanti clienti rispettabili gli richiedono con la massima discrezione? Nel secondo racconto, "Lo scrittore automatico", un giovane aspirante scrittore, rifiutato da tutte le riviste letterarie e da tutti gli editori, inventa una strana, misteriosa macchina... Due racconti intelligenti e divertenti, tipici di quell'affilata vena ironica e satirica che contraddistingue le opere di Dahl.
Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.
Dahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. S. Forester, was Shot Down Over Libya. Today the story is published as A Piece of Cake. The story, about his wartime adventures, was bought by the Saturday Evening Post for $900, and propelled him into a career as a writer. Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate and sensationalized article about the crash that blinded him, which claimed he had been shot down instead of simply having to land because of low fuel.
