Title: The Big Trick - Roald Dahl - book Summary : The author of Bizarre! Bizarre! and Kiss Kiss confirms here that he is one of the masters of humor and the baroque. His four stories are full of sarcasm and fantasy, deliberately implausible, paced at a frenetic pace, built on plots punctuated by twists and turns. Their common theme is a reflection on the flesh, sexual instinct, and pleasure, which transforms them into cruel little fables, imbued with a moral that mocks the conceit of the eternally masculine.

Title: Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson - book Summary : Irony and paradox shape this singular coming-of-age novel, which has become a classic of children's literature, even though it is much more than that.
