Product Description

Book Description

   「醜い考えを抱き続けると、いつかは顔に出てしまう。それが毎日、毎週、毎年と続くにつれ、顔はどんどん醜さをましていき、最後には醜さのあまり、その顔を正視できなくなる」

   どうしたら、トゥイットの鼻をあかせるだろう? トゥイット夫妻は、世界中で一番くさくて、醜い人間だ。夫妻には好きなことなんて何ひとつない――しいていえば、互いに悪口を言い合ったり、罪のない鳥をつかまえてパイにしたり、飼っているサルの一家を一日中逆さづりにすることぐらい。そのサルの一家も、もはや我慢の限界にきた。だけど逃げ出すだけじゃ気がおさまらない。いまにお返ししてやるぞ。 --This text refers to the ハードカバー edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars 意外な展開!?, 2003/5/27
初めて買った洋書がこの本です。本の薄さと文字の大きさから、初めてだけど読めるかもっと思って挑戦したのがこの本でした。

最初の何ページか読むうちに思ったことは、「なんだ?!この主人公。きたないことばっかり。。。」と思って、あまりいい気分はしなかったのですが、後半から動物も登場してきて少しずつ話の展開がかわってくるのです。意外な展開に最後には大笑いしてしまいました。

難しい単語がいくつかありましたが、挿絵もあってわかりやすいので、すぐに読めてしまうと思います。今は、初めて挑戦した洋書がこの本でよかったなと思ってます。

5.0 out of 5 stars 原書で読もうかなと思っている方へ, 2003/2/28
薄い本で、文字は大きく、挿絵もたくさん、、、、ですが、
決して侮れません。単語も構文もけっこう手ごわいです。
でも、内容はすばらしい。
はちゃめちゃなストーリーと”おち”を楽しんでください。
鍵となる単語がわからないと、おもしろさが半減するところも
あるので、要所、要所で辞書を使ってもいいと思います。

初めての原書、には、おすすめしませんが、3冊目ぐらいでどうぞ。

5.0 out of 5 stars Roald Dahl's twisted tale of the terrible Mr. & Mrs. Twit, 2006/8/7
One of the very important things this book teaches you is that if you have ugly thoughts, it begins to show on your face. That explains why Mrs. Twit, who always carries a walking stick with which to beat people, is the ugliest woman you have ever seen. However, Mr. Twit, with his dirty beard encrusted with bits and pieces of every meal he had every eaten, is even worse. Fortunately, these two horrible people spend most of their time making each other miserable with twisted practical jokes involving things like a glass eye, a frog or a bunch of balloons, as you will discover when you read this book by Roald Dahl. But then we learn that Mr. Twit likes to catch birds for Wednesday's Bird Pie dinner and that his grand plan is to train four monkeys kept in a cage in the garden to become The Great Upside-Down Monkey Circus. This is not a good thing. Not at all. Fortunately, this particular family of monkeys, named the Muggle-Wumps, are aided by the Roly-Poly Bird in turning the tables on the Twists. When I was reading "The Twists" as part of my most recent second-childhood, I thought this was a relatively minor Roald Dahl story, enhanced by Quetin Blake's zany illustrations. But when I found out the great plan of the father Muggle-Wump for the Twits and realized the Dreaded Shrinks were not simply a figment of Mr. Twit's imagination, I decided this was really just another one of his wonderful books and that I should have known better than to doubt him. I recommend reading- Quest by Giorgio Kostantinos. Excellent bestseller
