About the Author

Roald (pronounced "Roo-aal") was born in Llandaff, South Wales. He had a relatively uneventful childhood and was educated at Repton School. During World War II he served as a fighter pilot and for a time was stationed in Washington, D.C.. Prompted by an interviewer, he turned an account of one of mostrar mais his war experiences into a short story that was accepted by the Saturday Evening Post, which were eventually collected in Over to You (1946). Dahl's stories are often described as horror tales or fantasies, but neither description does them justice. He has the ability to treat the horrible and ghastly with a light touch, sometimes even with a humorous one. His tales never become merely shocking or gruesome. His purpose is not to shock but to entertain, and much of the entertainment comes from the unusual twists in his plots, rather than from grizzly details. Dahl has also become famous as a writer of children's stories. In some circles, these works have cased great controversy. Critics have charged that Dahl's work is anti-Semitic and degrades women. Nevertheless, his work continues to be read: Charlie and Chocolate Factory (1964) was made into a successful movie, The BFG was made into a movie in July 2017, and his books of rhymes for children continue to be very popular.

Elisabete Correia (CCFAS2020), 2020: "Quando entramos numa sala encontramos vários pequenos mundos, alunos que vindos de famílias tão diferentes enfrentam a vida e esperam dela o melhor. Muitas vezes é difícil para os alunos sentirem-se compreendidos. Sentem que, muitas vezes, são os únicos a viverem certas situações e ficam fechados em si mesmos. Os livros e as histórias ajudam-nos muitas vezes a encontrar-nos. Conhecer outras realidades que, afinal, têm sempre algo de idêntico com a nossa. Matilda nasceu no seio de uma família cujo talento principal é ignorá-la e desprezá-la. A mãe passa as tardes no bingo, o pai os dias a arranjar estratagemas para enganar os seus clientes no negócio e, finalmente, o seu irmão que a ignora e menospreza. Matilda encontra nos livros um escape para esta família. Ser uma menina inteligente e observadora faz com que perceba que tem de encontrar um escape à negligência e às noites sem fim em frente à televisão com pais que nem olham para ela. Primeiro, o seu refúgio é na biblioteca e, depois, na escola onde desenvolve uma relação muito especial com a sua professora. Esta torna-se a primeira pessoa adulta que a valoriza e a compreende. A leitura deste livro tira-nos gargalhadas mas também nos faz pensar e levar os alunos a trocar experiências de vivências, culturas e expetativas muito suas.
