Esio Trot

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Esio Trot is a 1990 children's novel by British author Roald Dahl. The title is an anadrome of "tortoise". It was the last of Dahl's books to be published in his lifetime; he died just two months later. Unlike other Dahl works (which often feature tyrannical adults and heroic/magical children), Esio Trot is the story of an aging lonely man (Mr. Hoppy), trying to make a connection with a person that he has loved from afar (his widowed neighbour, Mrs. Silver). In 1994, Monty Python star Michael Palin narrated the English language audiobook recording of the book. In 2015 it was adapted by Richard Curtis into a BBC television film, Roald Dahl's Esio Trot, featuring Dustin Hoffman and Judi Dench as the couple, with James Corden narrating. Geoffrey Palmer later narrated a second English-language recording.
