The Adventures of Pinocchio is a novel for children by Italian author Carlo Collodi in 1883. It is about the mischievous adventures of an animated marionette named Pinocchio and his father, a poor woodcarver named Geppetto. The lonely woodcarver Geppetto carves himself a son—a mischievous puppet he names Pinocchio who learns that he can become a real boy by doing good deeds. From the moment Joseph the carpenter carves a puppet that can walk and talk, this wildly inventive fantasy takes Pinocchio through countless adventures, in the course of which his nose grows whenever he tells a lie, he is turned into a donkey, and is swallowed by a dogfish, before he gains real happiness. A narration is presented that has moral lessons and provokes to think in the right direction. An universal icon and a metaphor of the human condition, the book is considered a canonical piece of children's literature and has had great impact on world culture.
