Lust

by Roald Dahl

To what lengths would you go to achieve your heart's desire? In these ten tales of maddening lust Roald Dahl explores how our darkest impulses reveal who we really are. Here you will read a story concerning wife swapping with a twist, hear of the aphrodisiac that drives men into a frenzy, discover the last act in a tale of jilted first love and discover the naked truth of art. Roald Dahl reveals even more about the darker side of human nature in the four centenary editions: Lust, Madness, Cruelty and Deception.
