Carved from a piece of pine by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village, Pinocchio was created as a wooden puppet, but dreamt of becoming a real boy.
Les aventures d'une marionnette de bois parlant dont le nez a pris plus de temps quand il a dit un mensonge et qui voulait plus que tout autre chose de devenir un vrai garçon.
When Geppetto carves a puppet from magical wood, it starts to talk and move. Geppetto treats the puppet like a son, but Pinocchio is not well-behaved. Pinocchio must prove he is kind enough to become a real boy.
Though 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.
