A fresh new translation of Collodi's cherished classic of childhood adventure
Carved from a piece of magical wood by the old carpenter Geppetto, the puppet Pinocchio comes to life and is almost immediately cast into a series of extraordinary misadventures. Featuring mischievous animals, a wise cricket and, of course, a nose that grows, The Adventurous of Pinocchio is one of the world's most beloved fairy tales.
This sparkling new translation by John Hooper and Anna Kraczyna captures the rascally spirit that makes the playful and easily distracted Pinocchio an icon of children's literature, while also revealing the novel's quiet message about the dangers of social inequality and the duty of kindness humans owe one another.
John Hooper is the Italian and Vatican correspondent for The Economist and the author of the bestseller The Italians. He has reported from Italy for more than twenty years and is a lecturer at Stanford University. Anna Kraczyna is a native of Florence, the daughter of American artists who moved to Italy. She has taught at Stanford University and Sarah Lawrence College, and divides her time among translating, interpreting, and lecturing on the language, literature and society of Italy.
