Pinocchio is a marionette who aspires to be a real boy but
encounters a series of moral dilemmas that keep him from reaching
his goals. This classic tale is an unconventional hero's journey,
highlighting the importance of integrity and discipline in a world
filled with distractions. Geppetto is an elderly and impoverished
carpenter who's gifted with an enchanted piece of wood. He uses it
to create a marionette, which he fashions after a young boy,
calling him Pinocchio. He quickly learns that Pinocchio can walk,
talk and has a brash attitude. His most distinguished feature is
his nose, which is prompted to grow whenever the puppet tells a
lie. As Pinocchio explores his surroundings, he encounters various
characters who attempt to show him the error of his ways. The
Adventures of Pinocchio is one of the most famous books in the
world. It's been translated into over 300 languages, selling more
than 80 million copies. Its most popular adaptation came in 1940
with the Disney animated film, Pinocchio. Despite the many
interpretations, the original maintains the story's core values
with greater nuance and depth. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Adventures
of Pinocchio is both modern and readable.
