Fiction
Teacher of a New Age
by Laura Baldini
Description
Rome, 1896. Young Maria Montessori is shocked when she meets
a group of supposedly feeble-minded children in a psychiatric
ward: eerie silence reigns in the bare room, and the faces looking
back at her are desperately sad. When Maria insists on giving the
children toys, they come to life. The doctors at the clinic are
amazed by the transformation happening before their eyes. For
Maria, this is one of the happiest moments of her life, and the beginning
of an extraordinary pedagogical career. Soon, however,
falling in love with a colleague forces her to confront the hardest
decision of her life.
