  • Les Gremlins Et La RAF…
    LES GREMLINS DANS LES ARMEES DE L'AIR Etude réalisée par Michel Coste ----- Depuis la nuit des temps, les peuples ont cru à l'existence d'êtres qui peuplaient leur imaginaire. Dénommés Elfes, Lutins, Trolls, Fées, Sylphes, Gnomes, tous sont nés de l'imagination populaire. Dès le Moyen-Age apparaissent les premières attestations de croyance envers ces créatures. À la Renaissance ces créations perdurent. Au XXeme siècle on continue d'y croire. On aurait pu penser de telles croyances en régression ou oubliées, dans ce monde moderne où le rationnel prime sur l’irrationnel. Les Gremlins et la RAF… Comment aurions-nous pu concevoir, qu'au sein de la RAF, l'imagination de ses membres les plus sensés ait pu donner naissance à l'existence d'un petit être espiègle parfois malveillant, ''le Gremlin'', et, de plus, accréditer son existence. La première notion de ''Gremlin'' (ce terme n'est pas encore employé) apparaît parmi les aviateurs au début du XXeme siècle. Le premier article se référant à ces êtres parut dans le journal ''The Spectator'' qui écrivait '' L'ancien Royal Naval Air Service en 1917 et la toute nouvelle Royal Air Force en 1918 apparaissent avoir détecté l'existence d'une horde d'Elfes mystérieux et malveillants dont le but entier était de …..'' Ainsi, dans cet écrit, était mis en exergue la cause (''les Gremlins'') et permettait de trouver une explication à des incidents inexplicables survenant en vol et se multipliant selon l'étrange loi des séries. Le 10 avril 1929 un poème, écrit par des aviateurs en service au Moyen Orient, paru à Malte dans le journal ''Aeroplane'' fait allusion aux Gremlins.

  • The Top Five Films You Did Not Know Were Based on Roald Dahl Stories
    The top five films you didn’t know were based on Roald Dahl stories Many Roald Dahl stories have been turned into family film favourites that we know and love, but did you know there’s more than just the books? Roald Dahl is responsible for a number of classic screenplays and storylines that we wouldn’t normally associate him with. Here’s five of our favourites, which you can enjoy once again on the big screen as part of Roald Dahl on Film: 1. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Roald Dahl was responsible for the screenplay of this truly magical, musical film. In fact, it was Roald Dahl that added in the Child Catcher as an extra character – so he’s responsible for giving us all those nightmares when we were small! 2. 36 hours This war movie released in 1965 was based on the short story ‘Beware of the Dog’ by Roald Dahl, which was first published in Harper’s Magazine in 1946. The story was also said to have influenced television series, The Prisoner. 3. You Only Live Twice The screenplay of this James Bond classic was another of Roald Dahl’s after he was approached by James Bond producers, Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli. The screenplay was the first to stray from Ian Fleming’s original story, as Roald Dahl famously said that the original wasn’t Fleming’s best work. 4. Gremlins The 1984 Steven Spielberg film Gremlins features characters developed from one of Roald Dahl’s earliest books, The Gremlins. In fact, there’s every chance that it was Roald Dahl’s first ever book for children! It impressed his bosses at the British Embassy so much that they sent it to Walt Disney to make into a feature film.

  • Roald Dahl - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Roald Dahl - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Roald Dahl(13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) a British novelist, short story writer, fighter pilot and screenwriter. His parents were from Norway, but he was born in Wales, 1916. The family used to spend the summer holidays on a little Norwegian island, swimming, fishing and going by boat. When Roald was four years old, his father died, so his mother had to organise the trip alone for herself and her six children. At school, he was always homesick. At St. Peter's Prep School, all the letters home were controlled by the headmaster, and afterwards at Repton Public School, he had to wear a horrible school uniform [with braces, waist coat, hat and lots of buttons, all black]. The younger boys were often punished by the headmaster and the older boys called prefects. Roald lays much emphasis on describing the school-beatups in his book. You could get beaten for small mistakes like leaving a football sock on the floor, for burning the prefect's toast at teatime or for forgetting to change into house-shoes at six o'clock. The most terrible beatings, however, were given by the headmaster himself, who was also a clergyman. He was so cruel, that he made a pause after each beat to smoke his pipe and talk about sins and wrongdoing, while the boy had to remain kneeling. After ten beats, the victim was told to wash away the blood first, before putting on the trousers.

Another adventure begins. Warner Bros. Recombine in every possible way. Don't expect too much kindness from Mr Dahl though -- the man must have had more than his fair share of demons to exorcise. From the very beginning technological innovation has replaced the delineated notion of "place" with an increasing number of meaningless, formless "spaces. Bates imposes a curfew in the open city of Los Angeles in an attempt to curb resistance activity; Donovan and Ham make plans to hit a Visitors' conference. Domestic Television Distribution. Dec 31, Ignatius Vonnegut rated it liked it. Will have to go out and buy this book as I have to give it back to the library. The women on their balconies are interchangable. Add the first question. Would recommend for those looking for excellent science fiction stories with a more literary bent. See 2 questions about The Complete Short Stories…. The one where two men conspire to sleep with each other's wives without the women's knowledge and therefore consent is hugely problematic and shouldn't be published without context, as it is done in the introduction for another story called 'Bitch'. Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate and sensationalized article about the crash that blinded him, which claimed he had been shot down instead of simply having to land because of low fuel.

  • Roald Dahl Biography
    Name __________________________ date _______ Roald Dahl Biography Roald Dahl was born in Wales on 16th September 1916 to Norwegian parents. His father died when he was 3 years old and he was raised by his mother. He did not enjoy his time at boarding school and his school memories provided some of the inspiration for his later stories. After leaving school he worked for the Shell Oil Company and was based in Africa, until the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when he signed up with the Royal Air Force. Unfortunately, on a flight into enemy territory he ran out of fuel and crashed in the Libyan desert. He was sent to Washington DC to work as an attaché where, almost by accident, he started his writing career. When he was interviewed for an article about his time in action, he offered to write about his experiences. His piece was published in the Saturday Evening Post, who signed him up to write more articles in 1941. In 1943 he wrote his first children’s book, The Gremlins, which was originally intended to be made into an animated film by Walt Disney. The film was not made and instead Dahl turned to writing adult fiction. In 1945 he moved back to the UK, but in the early fifties returned to America, and in 1953 he married his first wife, the actress Patricia Neal. They had five children together but got divorced in 1983. The last years of his life were very happy and he wrote some of his best books during this period: The BFG, The Witches and Matilda.
