A l`âge de cinq ans, Matilda sait lire et a dévoré tous les classiques de la littérature. Pourtant, son existence est loin d`être facile, entre une mère indifférente, abrutie par la télévision et un père d`une franche malhonnêteté. Sans oublier Mlle Legourdin, la directrice de l`école, personnage redoutable qui voue à tous les enfants une haine implacable. Sous la plume acerbe et tendre de Roald Dahl, les événements se précipitent, étranges, terribles, hilarants. Une vision décapante du monde des adultes!
In this award-winning Dahl title Matilda invents a game of punishing her parents when they treat her badly. She soon discovers that she has supernatural powers. New Quentin Blake cover as well as a whole new exciting end section about Roald Dahl and his world.

At Deverill Hall, an idyllic Tudor manor in the picture-perfect village of King`s Deverill, impostors are in the air. The prime example is man-about-town Bertie Wooster, doing a good turn to Gussie Fink-Nottle by impersonating him while he enjoys fourteen days away from society after being caught taking an unscheduled dip in the fountains of Trafalgar Square. Bertie is of course one of nature`s gentlemen, but the stakes are high: if all is revealed, there`s a danger that Gussie`s simpering fiancee Madeline may turn her wide eyes on Bertie instead. It`s a brilliant plan - until Gussie himself turns up, imitating Bertram Wooster. After that, only the massive brain of Jeeves (himself in disguise) can set things right. Формат...

In fact, Matisse`s stylistic liberation actually goes one step further in the pursuit of his own personal goal - the perfect synthesis of line and color - by which he sought revolutionary approaches to the great tradition of French painting by drawing upon its classical aspects. For those who wish to know more about this lodestar of modern art and follow the adventurous path of his creative career, this publication is surely the most comprehensive and informative source available. Lavishly illustrated, its authoritative commentaries trace the...
