After all, it seems impossible to them that German youth would have supported a regime with such twisted ideas, which caused the deaths of so many people. But Ben Ross, the school's history teacher, seems to have the perfect idea to engage the class. He starts a student movement focused on the discourse of \"discipline\" and \"community,\" quite similar to the premises that inspired Hitler Youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe idea was to show the class that, with a charismatic leader and fiery speeches, it's easy to get carried away; but before long, the Wave sweeps the entire school. Attracted by the movement's idea of \"equality,\" the students see the Wave as a solution to problems like bullying, inattention, and even the team's poor performance on the field. But when some students refuse to join the Wave, public pressure mounts, and they find themselves victims of their peers' intolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Based on events that took place in 1969 at a high school in California, \u003cem\u003eThe Wave\u003c\/em\u003e raises very current questions about fascism and intolerance, brilliantly exploring the role of idealistic youth in the consolidation of these discourses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “I have never in my life read a book as compelling, thought-provoking and moving as \u003cem\u003eThe Wave\u003c\/em\u003e .” - The Guardian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159238492412,"sku":"9788501118813","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/db3a2a3d3721228f0093cba47b53aba2.jpg?v=1778320545","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/a-onda","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
