Abstract
A summary is given of some recent observational data on solar flares. Particularly we discuss the flare build-up process and the time scales involved. We suggest as a possible magnetic field configuration a multiply kinked or supertwisted flux tube. The role of plasma turbulence and the Fermi mechanism in particle acceleration is discussed.Keywords
