Il trattamento ridarelli

Il signor Mack fa un lavoro davvero interessante: l'assaggiatore di biscotti. Ma una mattina, sulla strada per la fabbrica di biscotti lo aspetta un destino davvero ingrato (e puzzolente): sta per sperimentare il trattamento Ridarelli! A chi tocca il trattamento Ridarelli? Agli adulti che sono cattivi coi bambini, che raccontano che una cosa sa di pollo quando non è così, che fanno le puzze e incolpano i figli, che mangiano l'ultima fetta di pizza senza nemmeno offrirne un po' agli altri. In cosa consiste il trattamento Ridarelli? E il signor Mack se lo merita davvero? Leggete il libro e lo scoprirete. Età di lettura: da 6 anni.

TOM CREWE was born in Middlesbrough in 1989. He has a PhD in nineteenth century British history from the University of Cambridge. Since 2015, he has been an editor at the London Review of Books, to which he contributes essays on politics, art, history and fiction. The New Life is his first novel. Crewe says: 'This is the book I knew I wanted to write long before I actually wrote it. I hope it reveals to readers an unfamiliar Victorian England that will surprise and provoke, inhabited by a generation in the process of discovering the nature and limits of personal freedom, struggling to create a better world as the twentieth century comes into view.'
