Pinocchio

Pinocchio, a lonely woodcarver's puppet, magically comes to life then runs away and gets into a lot of trouble. The wooden hero tells lies, gets robbed by a sly cat and fox, and is swallowed by a hungry shark before he learns that good deeds, not bad, will help him to fulfill his dream of becoming a real boy.

Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) was the pen name of Carlo Lorenzini, an Italian journalist born in Florence. Collodi’s life and writings were dedicated to the struggles of the Risorgimiento, the Italian liberation movement to the free the country from Austrian domination and establish a national identity. As a soldier, Collodi took part in several revolutionary campaigns. He also founded Il Lampione, a newspaper of political satire whose circulation was frequently blocked by the Asutrians. In 1875, Collodi put aside his political struggles and turned to a new interest. He wrote to a friend: “Now I shall devote myself to writing only for children. Grown-ups are too hard to satisfy; they are not for me.” In 1881, the first chapter of Pinocchio appeared in Giorne Dei Bambini, and it was an immediate success. The complete Pinocchio first appeared in book form in 1883.
