Pinocchio is a fun story to read to children and it also has a good moral of the story. This is a mixture between fiction and realism because the plot of the story is based on actions that people may do like lying. This book would be good for older children to use in school activities. Younger children would benefit from expand their vocabulary and language development. ( ) There was mention somewhere of the original Italian story of Pinocchio here on LT, probably in conjunction with discussion of the del Toro movie version, and I realized I had never read it, so I checked this lavish volume out of the library. As a physical object, it's gorgeous. Large format, exquisitely illustrated by Robert Ingpen, pages so thick you never believe you're turning just one at a time, bright red ribbon place marker... If only I could have enjoyed the story. It's not just that it doesn't jive with the Disney version; that on its own is a positive. It's just too choppy, with no internal logic to it except for the over-explicated lesson about what happens to naughty children who don't obey their parents and pay attention to their teachers, which even a WOODEN HEADED PUPPET should have taken to heart long about the half-way point. There's very little charm to it that doesn't come from Ingpen's imagination, no real suspense, artificial cliff-hanger chapter breaks. Translation issues? Possibly. I understand it was written in segments, for serial publication. That shows. I don't see it appealing to any of the young'uns, past or present, that I know well. PLEASE NOTE that this edition is NOT the one I have reviewed. Um pedaço de madeira falante aparece misteriosamente na oficina de mestre Cereja. O marceneiro, apavorado, presenteia o amigo Gepeto com essa peça de madeira viva. Gepeto tem planos ambiciosos: fabricar uma marionete maravilhosa, capaz de dançar e dar saltos mortais, e ganhar o mundo com sua atração.Os planos do pobre marceneiro, porém, não se concretizam. Mal nasce, Pinóquio já começa com suas estripulias: arranca a peruca amarela de seu "pai", e seu nariz começa a crescer até se tornar um "narigão interminável". Daqui por diante, Pinóquio vai se meter em confusão atrás de confusão. Vende a cartilha que ganhou de Gepeto, escapa de ir à escola e vai parar no Grande Teatro de Marionetes. Ele se defronta com as artimanhas da Raposa e do Gato, que o levam para o Campo dos Milagres e tentam enforcá-lo. Do seu lado, estão o conselheiro Grilo-Falante e a Fada de cabelos azuis, que aparece para salvá-lo da armadilha do País dos Brinquedos, onde os meninos se transformam em burros.As aventuras de Pinóquio é a obra original de Carlo Collodi, publicada pela primeira vez em 1883. Em seu percurso de transformação de boneco em menino, Pinóquio enfrenta as intempéries das noites longas e frias, depara com a autoridade da lei, padece de uma fome terrível e descobre a solidão da condição humana. Fantasia, humor e ironia se combinam neste clássico da literatura, indicado para todas as idades. This book was so funny. I think that the Disney Pinocchio was meant to partially sympathize with Pinocchio but the book Pinocchio....he is the absolute worst. I didn't feel a single bit of sympathy for him at all. The scene when he doesn't want to take the medicine is one of the funniest things I've ever read in a book.
What del Toro, who has spoken of a lifelong fascination with Pinocchio, doubtless recognizes, and what Garrone as a cultured Italian would not need to be told, is that the original story is a work of considerable complexity, comparable to “Alice in Wonderland” or “Gulliver’s Travels” and much darker than Disney’s cheery fable about the price of youthful mendacity.... The moral of the story, then, is not that children should always tell the truth, but that education is paramount, enabling both liberation from a life of brutal toil, and, more important, self-awareness and a sense of duty to others. The true message of “The Adventures” is that, until you open yourself to knowledge and your fellow human beings, you will remain a puppet forever — other people will continue to pull your strings. And what, in these increasingly authoritarian times, could be more ardently relevant than that?
