Hardcover
$17.95
The Great Classics collection offers this beautiful edition of The Adventures of Pinocchio, one of the best known and least read works of popular culture. NETFLIX and DISNEY+ bring two versions of this classic in 2022, one directed by Guillermo del Toro, the other one with Tom Hank as Geppeto. "Lies, my son, are immediately recognizable because there are just two kinds of them: short-legged lies, and long-nosed lies." One of the most famous stories in the world, The Adventures of Pinocchio is also a largely unknown work. The adventures of this wooden puppet are not a moralizing, sentimental tale, but a deeply subversive, cruelty-filled, satirical and magical story about lost childhood. In it, picaresque, street theater, and fairy tales blend in a way that anticipates surrealism and even magical realism. Jack Zipes, an eminent scholar specialized in popular fantastic narrative, writes the introduction to this volume. The translation into Spanish is the result of the laborious work of Miquel Izquierdo, who gives this classic a pulsating relevance.
