About the book: 2010 / "The Night Guest" is a collection of stories by the mysterious Roald Dahl, an author not very well known in our country, but deeply revered abroad. After all, it was he who once created the bloodthirsty teethers and the colorful Charlie, the owner of a chocolate factory. Dahl himself is a very colorful person. His work cannot be described in a few words. “Most of all, this is similar to Pelevin’s stories: half-detective, half-joke - on the verge of fantasy; The plot here easily and quite naturally triumphs over language. Another thing that comes to mind is Edgar Allan Poe, whose name Roald Dahl has received awards more than once" (Lev Danilkin, Afisha columnist). The collection includes four "most fascinating" and "seductive" stories, which - interesting fact - were first published in England in magazine... "Playboy"»!
