Hoy
debatimos sobre el relato “Skin”
de la compilación de “Tales of the unexpected” de Roald Dahl.
This
collection showcases sixteen of Roald Dahl’s finest tales, taken
from Kiss
Kiss
and Someone
Like You.
There are tales of the risk-takers, such as the man who wagers his
daughter’s hand in marriage to a wine connoisseur, or the traveller
who throws himself overboard on a cruise liner to win a bet. Here too
is the understated cruelty of “Edward the Conqueror,” in which a
mysterious cat seems to threaten domestic life, or the
innocuous-seeming “Landlady,” whose guests stay for longer than
they intend. Not forgetting the satisfyingly shocking tales of
revenge, such as “Nunc Dimittis” or “Lamb to the Slaughter.”
In this collection of stories, Dahl tantalizes, amuses, and sometimes terrifies readers into a sense of what lurks beneath the ordinary. Roald Dahl is a wizard of comedy and the grotesque, an artist with a marvelously topsy-turvy sense of the ridiculous in life.
