The bookseller roald dahl pdf

Een man beleeft de schrik van zijn leven als hij een giftige slang aantreft in zijn bed. Roald Dahl, de alom geprezen schrijver van Sjakie en de chocoladefabriek, De GVR, Matilda en vele andere klassiekers voor kinderen, schreef ook bundels met korte verhalen voor volwassenen.

Veel van deze betoverend angstaanjagende verhalen zijn verfilmd, en laten tot op de dag van vandaag iedere lezer huiveren. Dahl kan met recht de grootmeester van het korte verhaal worden genoemd. Now, Connor, Risa, and Lev are free to live in a peaceful future—or are they? Elephant 7th unwound book Make another book please. This short story was absolute first-class! Apr 24, Aine rated it liked it Shelves: short-story. Well-written and well-crafted all the same. Jan 15, Toni rated it it was ok Shelves: audiobook-read.

Another short short with a weird vibe - at least for Roald Dahl in my way of thinking. Sep 09, The Reading Countess rated it really liked it Shelves: adult , audio , short-stories. Great surprise ending! Nov 12, Kinsey rated it liked it. Not my favorite of Roald Dahl's adult short fiction. But a solidly crafted story. A very good short story built around an excellent premise.

Sadly its rather rushed ending and its failure to really delve deep into any of the characters or settings means I'll give it three stars. Mar 03, Kmoroz added it. I've been teaching this short story to my senior level English classes for the past 6 or 7 years I won't speak to what looks like blatant plagiarism by Dahl; however, both short stories are excellent and work well in tandem t I've been teaching this short story to my senior level English classes for the past 6 or 7 years I won't speak to what looks like blatant plagiarism by Dahl; however, both short stories are excellent and work well in tandem to teach elements of a short story, discuss morality both in plot and intellectual property , and 'poetic justice'.

I highly recommend both. Mar 01, Maria Ri rated it it was amazing Shelves: library-book , audio , general-fiction , read-in , overdrive-library-audiobook. Roald Dahl's dark sense of humor come shining through again in this audio of his short story written for adults. The characters are lusciously horrible blackmailers of the rich widows of the recently deceased. His descriptions are so vivd and wonderfully off-putting!

My son and I read the biography of Roald Dahl for school as they were doing a series of Dahl books. The biography was surprisingly interesting so the short story caught my eye when I saw it on the library app. Nice little short story with two absolutely unappealing characters and a dirty little trick.

Great details and a fun ending. I'll make sure to look for more adult Dahl books now! May 08, Helen Hayhurst rated it really liked it. Listened to this as an audiobook while out on a walk. It's only 45min long so i was able to listen start to finish. It was relatively obvious from the beginning that the ending must be something along the lines of what it turned out to be, so no big surprises, but the journey to get there was thoroughly enjoyable!

Apr 21, Lisa added it. The description of the story gave too much away, so the main thing I got from it was the reminder that Roald Dahl could be kind of a sleazebag. Mar 13, Desi rated it liked it. This was a fun short story. Thank you audiobooks for making chores lighter. The 2 main characters aren't what they seem. They are actually a couple of seedy, cheeky, con-artists. This story made me chuckle. Mar 03, Linda rated it really liked it.

I wanted to read some Dahl books that were not for children. This one is short. I would call it a novella. It is an unusual story about a bookseller, but really that business is a front for more nefarious activities. I enjoyed it just because it was so different.
