Books by Carlo Collodi

Portrait of Carlo Collodi

Carlo Collodi, the pen name of Carlo Lorenzini, was an Italian writer and journalist best known for creating one of the most enduring characters in children's literature - Pinocchio. First published in the late 19th century, his tale of the mischievous wooden puppet who longs to become a real boy has captivated generations with its wit, moral lessons and imaginative storytelling.

Collodi's work combines playful fantasy with a sharp understanding of human nature, blending humour and heart in equal measure. His legacy endures not only through countless adaptations but also through the timeless themes of honesty, growth and the value of learning from one's mistakes, ensuring his stories remain as relevant today as when they were first written.

    Book SynopsisPinocchio plays pranks upon the kindly woodcarver Geppetto, is duped by the Fox and the Cat, kills the pedantic Talking Cricket, and narrowly escapes death, with the help of the blue-haired Fairy. A wooden puppet without strings, Pinocchio is a tragicomic figure, a poor, illiterate, naughty peasant boy who has few choices in life but usually chooses to shirk his responsibilities and get into trouble. This sly and imaginative novel, alternately catastrophic and ridiculous, takes Pinocchio from one predicament to the next, and finally to an optimistic, if uncertain, ending. In his compelling introduction, Jack Zipes places Pinocchio within the traditions of the oral folk tale and the literary fairy tale, showing how Collodi subverts those traditions while raising questions about how we 'civilize' children in uncivilized times.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

    Book SynopsisThough one of the best-known books in the world, Pinocchio at the same time remains unknown—linked in many minds to the Walt Disney movie that bears little relation to Carlo Collodi’s splendid original. That story is of course about a puppet who, after many trials, succeeds in becoming a “real boy.” Yet it is hardly a sentimental or morally improving tale. To the contrary, Pinocchio is one of the great subversives of the written page, a madcap genius hurtled along at the pleasure and mercy of his desires, a renegade who in many ways resembles his near contemporary Huck Finn. Pinocchio the novel, no less than Pinocchio the character, is one of the great inventions of modern literature. A sublime anomaly, the book merges the traditions of the picaresque, of street theater, and of folk and fairy tales into a work that is at once adventure, satire, and a powerful enchantment that anticipates surrealism and magical realism. Thronged with memorable characters and composed with the fluid but inevitable logic of a dream, Pinocchio is an endlessly fascinating work that is essential equipment for life.
