Roald Dahl (Author)
(Wales,
1916 - Oxford, 1990) Roald was born into a wealthy family of Norwegian
origin. At the age of four, he lost his father and at seven, he came
into contact with the strict British educational system, which he
reflected in books like Matilda and Boy. After finishing high school, he
started working at the Shell company in Africa, where he was caught by
the Second World War. After brief training, he became a pilot for the
Royal Air Force. He was assigned to Washington, where he began writing
about his war adventures. His foray into the world of children's
literature was motivated by the stories he told his four children. His
first work was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He also wrote scripts
for movies and some of his works have been adapted into films.
Charlie Bucket's life is about to change forever, thanks to one miraculous moment!
Willy Wonka, chocolate maker extraordinaire, has hidden five golden tickets in five ordinary bars of chocolate, and any child who finds one will get the chance to visit his incredible factory.
And Charlie has found one . . . But so have . . .
Augustus Gloop - a glutton for chocolate
Veruca Salt - a spoiled and selfish brat
Violet Beauregarde - a repulsive gum-chewer
Mike Teavee - a television fiend
With a chocolate river, delectable confectionery and mysterious Oompa Loompas, Mr Wonka's factory is the most wondrous place Charlie has ever seen.
" O que Charlie mais adora no mundo é chocolate.
O cheiro e o sabor fazem as suas maravilhas, mas são também a sua tortura.
A fábrica do senhor Wonka, o melhor e mais prestigiado inventor de
chocolate do planeta, encontra-se fechada há muitos anos, mas vai
permitir a visita a cinco sortudos. Quem encontrar os cinco Bilhetes
Dourados, emitidos e escondidos nos diversos chocolates, irá visitá-la e
receberá todos os tipos de doces Wonka, para o resto da vida.
Para um amante de chocolate como Charlie, este é o melhor prémio do mundo! "
