ಇಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯ | ಇಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯ (ರೂವಾಲ್ಡ್ ಡಾಲ್ ಅವರ ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ ಕೃತಿಗಳು)

Roald Dahl's every story is different in terms of subject matter. In one, the human brain is at the center of the story, in another, a rat, and in yet another, a tortoise. In this regard, Dahl is a professional writer. He does not allow repetition in his narrative. He has an estimate of what elements can entertain people and make them curious. However, he does not follow the formula of popular commercial Hollywood films. He has woven stories with some entertaining elements that are present in modern narratives. Prominent among them are the bizarre ending or the reader's 'disillusionment'. Another is to go to an extreme beyond reality. Thus, he is a writer who does not miss his mark in his craft and has created his own path in narrative.

G.V. Carlo, who is captivated by Dahl's magic, is publishing the present volume by translating his eleven stories. It contains stories of diverse themes, styles, and narratives. They are embodied in Dahl's usual skillful narration, telling the story tastefully without breaking the suspense. For Carlo, Dahl is a writer who has become ingrained in his blood. Knowing all his skills, tricks, and nuances, he has reflected them in the mirror of Kannada. It is my belief that this crystal clear reflection can captivate and delight Kannada readers for a long time.
