Libros y series para niños y adultos. Lemony Snicket

Lemony Snicket (real name Daniel Handler) has always been an enigmatic character, and his wonderfully wacky and absurd writing shrouds his offbeat works with equal mystery. His witty insights and sombre musings make for the distinctive tone that so many know and love and his work appeals to children and adults alike. While Snicket’s bizarre characters and twisted plots are certainly part of this appeal, it’s his intelligent writing and dark humour that make his stories so compelling. To celebrate the author, here are some of our favourite Lemony Snicket quotes. Assumptions are dangerous things to make, and like all dangerous things to make - bombs, for instance, or strawberry shortcake - if you make even the tiniest mistake you can find yourself in terrible trouble”. - The Austere Academy People aren’t either wicked or noble. They’re like chef’s salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.” - The Grim Grotto

Los libros de Lemony Snicket han sido llevados al cine, donde Jim Carrey interpretaba al malvado Olaf que persegue a unos huerfanos para quedarse con la fortuna de sus padres, fallecidos en un incendio al parecer provocado. El ingenio y el valor de los tres huerfanos, grandes lectores los dos mayores y un desternillante bebé, hacen que vayan librandose de todos los ataques de sus enemigos a través de cada libro y cada capítulo de la serie de Netflix. Una película que divierte a los niños y a los mayores, llena de un inteligente y corrosivo humor negro, y de referencias a personajes literarios y nombres rebuscados.
