| Publisher Description: "Pinocchio" is the protagonist of this timeless children's novel. He is a puppet who Geppetto, a Tuscan woodcarver, carved. Although a marionette, Pinocchio dreams of becoming a real boy. But, because of his lack of principles and his rejection of his responsibilities-to study and work-he is scolded by Geppetto. His repeated lies cause his nose to grow, and this part of the tale has, arguably, made the story into a cultural icon. In the tradition of fantasy heroes, Pinocchio is depicted as making a descending into hell, followed by a rebirth by his new attitude to be good and provide for Geppetto. Through the motif of metamorphosis, Pinocchio is transformed into a real boy. Pinocchio is one of the most re-imagined stories in children's literature and has been a famous story for adaptation, notably by the 1940 Disney cinema production. |
