About the author
Roald Dahl
1,508 books26.9k 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.

داستانهایی فوقالعاده گیرا و هیجان انگیز با پایانهایی هیجانانگیزتر!

چقدر دلم برای خواندن داستانهای کوتاهی از این دست تنگ شده بود. داستانهایی که واقعا ایده دارد، داستانی برای گفتن، که به سادگی روایت شده است و آخرش میگویی اوه نه! داستانها را با لحاظ کردن زمانه دال، میتوان کاملا «مدرسهای» دانست؛ تقریبا در همه داستانها فضایی بسیار دلچسب ساخته شده و دست آخر با عنصر شگفتی پایان یافته است. البته که داستانها را باید در زمانه خود سنجید و بسیاری از ایدههای داستانها بعدها بارها بازآزموده شدهاند. خلاصه که جهان رولد دال جهان خوشی است و جهان قصهی ناب خواندن. قصه گفتن بی دغدغه فرم و روایت کاری است که رولد دال خوب بلد است و ما اغلب اصلا بلد نیستیم. باقی کتابهای او را هم خواهم خواند.

I have read The Landlady and I loved it! I read it for school and went home and read it two more times. It is so creepy. I love how the ending makes you think and it doesn't tell you exactly what happened. I would have liked it less if it had a complete ending. All in all, this book is a great book that everyone should read!! :)

Really creepy but awesome to read. I love how there is no real ending because that makes you think about what is going to happen with Billy.
