Zaïtzeff Flying solo / Roald Dahl

I have a passion planes and war artifacts, but nothing more as I like reading biographies or in this case, autobiographies. Going Solo are the memories of Roald Dahl during his time as an RAF pilot in the Greek theater and later Syria. We face a somewhat romantic vision and a little hiperrrealista man for whom the war was finally made practical, as stated in the following lines "The survival was not so one fight more. I began to realize that the only way behave in a situation in which rained bombs and bullets went whistling, was to accept the dangers and all its consequences as calmly as possible. Distressed and desperate for it was useless. "Viewed from this perspective, the chronicles that Dahl makes his years as a pilot is not only raw but sensitive at a time. Recounts fly low over the prairie, while fleeing the One-Zero-Nine, and manages to see a goat, tells a funny scene about a lion who stole a woman, carrying in its mouth for more than two hundred meters and above all, the work breathes in deep love of a child by his mother, seen from the constant Dahl sent letters to his mother from the various battlefields. The descriptions of the air battles that held are disturbing, as the brief depiction of the Battle of Athens, where the last 15 hurricanes Greece beat defending more than 200 Meschermints 109 and 11th. And Dahl also speaks in the book, to love, aircraft, old Gladiator, the Tiger Moth and reliable terrible Ju 88 bombers. Amid all this paraphernalia of war, however, it is possible to find some stories that would give rise to scenes and stories of his future books. Read Going Solo daily is like entering a friend's friend would not free from controversy in his life, a journal that we are surprised by its simplicity and warmth.

The great cambiazo / Roald Dahl

I've always felt a weakness for short stories long. It is not easy to write. Maintain tension and interest demands a certain quality of work that is not achieved over the years. And also, I've always had a weakness for the work of Roald Dahl, who read it, curiously, in the first instance one of his adult My Uncle Oswald and then took a quantum leap to say its great and sensitive work for adolescents. In The Great cambiazo, spicy Dahl tells four stories about sexual freedom. There are two major daily notes of the libertine Is it right to call rake Uncle Oswald?, Oswald Hendryks Cornelius. The others are sparkling versions of sex. It is curious that the work of a writer can unfold much as the work of the British, who always seems to be jumping, nervous, unexpectedly, from a girl who has magical powers to the irresistible Copper Anna, a woman who lost her husband and flirts with suicide until he meets an old lover who take an unexpected end, in "The Last Act", one of the stories that make up this book. The other texts are: "The Visitor", a chronicle of Uncle Oswald when a mysterious man invites him to his house in the desert, where he met two outstanding women, "The big change had, the story of two husbands who confabulate a plan to exchange wives for a night, "The last act" of which I spoke, and finally the story of "Bitch," another story of Uncle Oswald where he helps a scientist to discover the aroma that can put men in heat, more?, a reader asked wryly. Yes, more. In this case, no matter that they tell stories, read Roald Dahl has a magic invaluable. In making his books are always the most attentive reader so be reading Agu Trot or The big poke.
