Matilda

"A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero" David Walliams Matilda's parents have called her some terrible things, but the truth is she's a genius and they're the stupid ones. Underestimating Matilda proves to be a big mistake as they, along with her spiteful headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, soon find out when Matilda discovers she has a very special power.

Todos os dias Matilda passava horas na Biblioteca, lendo um livro atrás do outro. Mas, quanto mais ela lia e aprendia, mais aumentavam seus problemas. A história de Matilda até que poderia ser triste. Mas Roald Dahl conta as coisas de um jeito tão absurdo

À l'âge de cinq ans, Matilda sait lire et a dévoré tous les classiques de la littérature. Pourtant, son existence est loin d'être facile, entre une mère indifférente, abrutie par la télévision, et un père d'une franche malhonnêteté. Sans oublier Mlle Legourdin, la directrice de l'école, femme redoutable qui voue à tous les enfants une haine implacable... L'adaptation à l'écran du célèbre roman de Roald Dahl. Une comédie réjouissante à l'humour grinçant, une décapante galerie de personnages, un film tendre et hilarant pour les petits et les grands.

But my father, my beloved and most wretched father... Would he never overcome the fierce passion that now held pitiless dominion over him? With its shocking theme of father-daughter incest, Mary Shelley’s publisher—her father, known for his own subversive books—not only refused to publish Mathilda, he refused to return her only copy of the manuscript, and the work was never published in her lifetime. His suppression of this passionate novella is perhaps understandable—unlike her first book, Frankenstein, written a year earlier, Mathilda uses fantasy to study a far more personal reality. It tells the story of a young woman whose mother died in her childbirth—just as Shelly’s own mother died after hers—and whose relationship with her bereaved father becomes sexually charged as he conflates her with his lost wife, while she becomes involved with a handsome poet. Yet despite characters clearly based on herself, her father, and her husband, the narrator’s emotional and relentlessly self-examining voice lifts the story beyond autobiographical resonance into something more transcendent: a driven tale of a brave woman’s search for love, atonement, and redemption. It took more than a century before the manuscript Mary Shelley gave her father was rediscovered. It is published here as a stand-alone volume for the first time. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.
