The Adventures of Pinocchio

Beschreibung

The Adventures of Pinocchio is the original tale of the wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy. In a small Italian village, an old wood-carver named Geppetto lovingly crafts a wooden puppet. But unbeknownst to him, the wood he used was extremely unusual, and when the toy is finished, it comes alive! Named Pinocchio, the puppet can do everything a living boy can do - especially when it comes to making mischief. Pinocchio longs to become a real flesh-and-blood child, but must survive many adventures and learn a few life lessons before achieving his fondest wish. This lively story is full of humor and social observation - much of which has been lost in later re-tellings. Read it yourself and discover the reasons for its enduring popularity with all ages.

Autor

Carlo Lorenzini, better known by the pen name Carlo Collodi (1826 - 1890), was a children's writer born in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and writer of the world-renowned fairy tale novel The Adventures of Pinocchio. During the Italian wars of Independence in 1848 and 1860 Collodi served as a volunteer with the Tuscan army. His active interest in political matters may be seen in his earliest literary works as well as in the founding of the satirical newspaper Il Lampione in 1853. This newspaper was censored by order of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. In 1854 he published his second newspaper, Lo scaramuccia ("The Controversy").
