Book Description

Matilde ha imparato a leggere a tre anni, e a quattro ha già divorato tutti i libri della biblioteca pubblica. Quando perciò comincia a frequentare la prima elementare si annoia talmente che l'intelligenza deve pur uscirle da qualche parte: così le esce dagli occhi. Gli occhi di Matilde diventano incandescenti e da essi si sprigiona un potere magico che l'avrà vinta sulla perfida direttrice Spezzindue, la quale per punire gli alunni si diverte a rinchiuderli in un armadio pieno di chiodi, lo Strozzatoio, o li usa per allenarsi al lancio del martello olimpionico, facendo roteare le bambine per le trecce e lanciandole lontano. L'intelligenza e la cultura - sembra dire l'autore - sono le uniche armi che un debole può usare contro l'ottusità, la prepotenza e la cattiveria.

Author portrait of Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.
Dahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. S. Forester, was Shot Down Over Libya. Today the story is published as A Piece of Cake. The story, about his wartime adventures, was bought by the Saturday Evening Post for $900, and propelled him into a career as a writer. Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate and sensationalized article about the crash that blinded him, which claimed he had been shot down instead of simply having to land because of low fuel.
