L'onda di Todd Strasser

Chi erano Hitler e i nazisti? E come hanno fatto a trascinare un'intera nazione nel loro folle disegno? Ben Ross, insegnante di storia in un liceo di Palo Alto, prova a raccontarlo ai suoi alunni, ma le ragioni di tanto orrore sembrano incomprensibili ai ragazzi. Così il professor Ross decide di ricorrere a un esperimento, utilizzando la classe come un laboratorio. Forma un movimento tra gli studenti, L'Onda, e lo dota di simboli, motti, una rigida disciplina e un forte senso della comunità. In pochissimi giorni lo strano test ha sviluppi incontrollabili: il gruppo di allievi affiatati diventa un branco violento e repressivo, chi non appartiene all'Onda viene emarginato e rischia umiliazioni e botte, mentre lo stesso professor Ross si trasforma in un leader carismatico e intoccabile. Tratto da una storia vera, un racconto incalzante e pungente, che è anche la denuncia di una verità inoppugnabile: la Storia, anche nei suoi episodi più crudeli e abietti, può ripetersi. In qualsiasi momento. (fonte: ibs)… (altro)
