The Adventures of Pinocchio

The Italian writer Carlo Collodi created the image of the wooden boy, drawing on the rich tradition of folk puppet theater. This is why the tale of the adventures of Pinocchio takes place in sunny Italy, where everyday life closely resembles a theatrical performance. The wooden boy Pinocchio goes through numerous trials, and in the end, it is honesty and kind deeds that turn him into a real human being. The book publishes a complete translation of “The Adventures of Pinocchio,” done by Camillo Danini. The dynamism of the narrative is emphasized by the illustrations of the Spanish artist Pepa Montserrat.
