Matilda

Matilda is a small and very smart girl. Very, very smart. She learned to read by herself at the age of three and loves books more than anything in the world. And not just any children's fairy tales, but Dickens,... Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Kipling. But, unfortunately, this is not at all to the taste of her parents, two rather unpleasant individuals, who would prefer her to watch, like they do, silly programs on television. At school, little Matilda faces trouble because the principal of the school hates children and cruelly torments them. But fortunately, Matilda's teacher is incredibly kind and attentive to her. Moreover, Matilda suddenly discovers supernatural abilities within herself… As in other stories by the famous Roald Dahl, in “Matilda,” he mocks stupidity and narrow-mindedness and allows intelligence and justice to triumph over them. And he makes both children and adults laugh. Smart adults, of course.
