PATAKIS - Maria Montessori: Teacher of a New Era - BALDINI LAURA (9786180704501)

Rome, 1896. Young Maria Montessori is shocked when she first encounters the small lethargic patients with intellectual disabilities at the psychiatric clinic. A chilling silence dominates the bare space, and the faces she sees are sorrowful. Maria insists on giving toys to the children, and they awaken before her eyes from a phase of absolute apathy. This is one of the greatest moments of happiness for her, as well as the beginning of a career in education. However, when she falls in love with a colleague, she is faced with the hardest decision of her life. In this book, Laura Baldini outlines the significant milestones of Maria Montessori's life, the teacher who challenged the traditional teacher-centered system, opposed educational practices of centuries, and thus sparked an educational revolution that continues to change the world for the better. The author crafts the exquisite portrait of a true pioneer by blending biography with fiction, illuminating the human, feminine side of her.
