Although it is one of the most popular books in the world, The Adventures of Pinocchio is, at the same time, an unknown work and overshadowed by the Walt Disney version, which on the other hand bears little relation to the original. The story of a puppet that comes to life is not here a moralizing or sentimental tale, but rather a deeply subversive play about lost childhood, a story full of cruelty, magic and satire. The character of Pinocchio is one of the great creations in the history of literature, in whose adventure picaresque, street theater, and fairy tales are intertwined, in a way that anticipates surrealism and even magical realism. Filled with memorable characters and composed with the inevitable logic of a dream, Pinocchio is an inexhaustible life classic.
