Going Solo is the action-packed tale of Roald Dahl's exploits as a World War II pilot. Learn all about his encounters with the enemy, his worldwide travels, the life-threatening injuries he sustained in a plane accident, and the rest of his sometimes bizarre, often unnerving, and always colorful adventures. Told with the same irresistible appeal that has made Roald Dahl one of the world's best-loved writers, Going Solo brings you directly into the action and into the mind of this fascinating man.

《罗尔德·达尔作品典藏:独闯天下》是达尔自传《好小子-童年故事》的续集。前面说到达尔完成了中学学习，他希望从事一个职业能带他到“象非洲和中国一样美妙的遥远地方。”他赢得了壳牌石油公司的好职位。1938年秋天，达尔被调到非洲工作，在那里他和壳牌石油公司的另两名代表一起管理整个东非领域，同时也开始有了更多奇妙惊险的经历，比如眼镜蛇进入他朋友的房子而不得不叫捕蛇者来捕蛇，或者一只狮子抓住了一个本地妇女，而达尔关于其营救过程的纪录被登在一家非洲报纸上，这成为他第一篇公开发表的作品。
