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. L’intelligenza e la cultura – sembra dirci l’autore – sono le uniche armi che un debole può usare contro l’ottusità, la prepotenza e la cattiveria.
