Penguin Student Editions have been specifically designed for readers who are studying a text in detail. They include a helpful introduction and explanatory notes, character sketches, a text summary, a chronology, language notes, a selection of questions and topics for disussion and analysis, as well as suggestions for further reading. There is no modern short story writer anywhere to be compared with Roald Dahl. Each of his stories is so clever and has such a startling twist at the end of it, that it leaves the reader gasping. The ten stories in this book may depict human nature at its darkest, but they are also brilliantly funny and completely unforgettable.
Poor James has to go and live with his beastly aunts, Sponge and Spiker. Then something very peculiar and magical happens. James discovers an enormous peach growing in the garden, a peach so large that he can climb inside. And soon James is whisked away from his wretched existence and taken on an unbelievable journey.
Irakurle, seguru asko oso pertsona serio eta formala zara eta ez duzu sorginengan sinesten. 'Utikan, asmazio horiek!', esaten duzu serio asko. Sorginen kontu horiek guztiak ez dira txoriburuen gorabeherak besterik. Sorginak! Puaf! Kontu aldrebesagorik! Bada, sentitzen dugu esan beharra, baina egon badaude. Irakurri besterik ez duzu, bestela, Roald Dahl-en liburu hunkigarri hau: berehala pasatuko zara zure irribarre ironiko horretatik sorpresara, eta sorpresatik gorputz guztia dardarizoka jarriko dizun trantze urdurira. Sorginengan ez duzula sinesten? Bada, beldurti baten aitzakia da hori, liburu hau irakurtzera ausartzen ez den kakajario batena.
