CHARLIE AND

THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY  ROALD DAHL

WRITTEN BY MS. A. KARAVAS, ENGLISH TEACHER

Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a classic children's book about five kids who win a chance to tour Willy Wonka's mysterious candy-making operation. It's a vividly told wild ride with amusing, cartoon-like sketches that will keep kids excited and laughing. Various forms of bad behavior are demonstrated -- but the punishments perfectly fit the crimes. 

The main character also lives a life of poverty that's portrayed as bleak and depressing, although the love between him and his family makes their day-to-day struggles more bearable. The book was adapted for a film titled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in 1971, and made into a movie titled Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, starring Johnny Depp, in 2005. That same year, it was released as an audio -book read by Monty Python member Eric Idle, which is loads of fun.

Poor Charlie Bucket is practically starving to death, but his luck changes for the better when he wins a lifetime supply of candy -- and a chance to visit Willy Wonka's fabulous, top-secret chocolate factory. This charming, irreverent tale, one of Roald Dahl's best, has captivated children for more decades. Five lucky people who find a Golden Ticket wrapped in one of Willy Wonka's wonderful candy bars win a visit to his mysterious chocolate factory. Charlie Bucket is too poor to buy more than one candy bar a year, so when he wins a ticket, his whole family celebrates. The four other lucky children are not as nice as Charlie, and they're punished for their bad behavior. Greedy Augustus Gloop falls into the chocolate river he's trying to drink from and gets sucked up a pipe. Chewing-gum addict Violet Beauregarde grabs a stick of gum that blows her up into a giant blueberry. Spoiled Veruca Salt is deemed a "bad nut" by Wonka's trained squirrels and thrown in the garbage. And Mike Teavee demands to be "sent by television" and gets shrunk in the process. But there's a wonderful surprise waiting for Charlie at the end of the tour.

Περιπέτεια γεμάτη σοκολάτα. Πέντε παιδιά –και μονάχα πέντε– πήραν την άδεια να επισκεφτούν το εργοστάσιο σοκολάτας του κυρίου Βόνκα. Τα πέντε αυτά τυχερά παιδιά θα έβλεπαν όλα τα μυστηριώδη μηχανήματα του εργοστασίου απ’ όπου έβγαιναν τα πιο θαυμαστά ζαχαρωτά όλου του κόσμου. Τι συμβαίνει όμως όταν συναντούν τον διάσημο κύριο Βόνκα; Τι συμβαίνει όταν περνάνε τη μεγάλη πύλη του εργοστασίου; Τι συμβαίνει όταν βλέπουν για πρώτη φορά τους παράξενους εργάτες που μιλούν μόνο με στίχους και που οι μικροσκοπικές σκιές τους διαγράφονται στα παράθυρα του εργοστασίου; Και... τι συμβαίνει όταν ένα από τα παιδιά παρακούσει τις εντολές του κυρίου Βόνκα; Αυτά, αγαπητέ αναγνώστη, θα τα μάθεις όταν διαβάσεις το σπαρταριστό παραμύθι του Ρόαλντ Νταλ.
