Carlo Collodi

Nel 1875, sei anni prima di scrivere Pinocchio, Collodi accetta dall'editore Paggi di Firenze un incarico che dapprima lo incuriosisce e lo attrae e alla fine lo appassiona: quello di tradurre dal francese le fiabe di Charles Perrault, l'insuperato maestro di un genere che tra il Sei e il Settecento tocc il suo apice alla Corte del Re Sole, lasciandoci quei capolavori della letteratura infantile che sono ancora oggi il patrimonio fantastico di bambini e adulti, da Cappuccetto Rosso alla Bella addormentata nel bosco, da Cenerentola a Barba-blu, al Gatto con gli stivali.

Zur Inhalt: Eines Tages findet Tischlermeister Antonio, der wegen seiner roten Nase "Meister Kirsche" genannt wird, ein Holzscheit, das zu sprechen anf ngt, als er es bearbeiten will. Da ihm die Sache nicht geheuer ist, schenkt er es seinem Freund, dem Holzschnitzer Geppetto. Geppetto ist von dem Holzklotz begeistert und beginnt sogleich mit dem Schnitzen einer Holzpuppe, die er nach getaner Arbeit Pinocchio tauft. Zu Geppettos Erstaunen erwacht die Puppe zum Leben und rei t ihrem Sch pfer aus. Beim Versuch, Pinocchio wieder einzufangen, landet Geppetto sogar im Gef ngnis, kommt dann aber wieder frei und findet Pinocchio ausgehungert und reum tig in seinem Haus. Dieser verspricht, in Zukunft artig zu sein und zur Schule zu gehen. Trotz eisiger K lte verkauft Geppetto seine einzige Jacke, um Pinocchio eine Fibel zu kaufen. Carlo Collodi (1826-1890) war ein italienischer Schriftsteller und Journalist. Er ist der Autor des weltber hmten Romans Die Abenteuer des Pinocchio.

The Adventures of Pinocchio is a story about an animated puppet, boys who turn into donkeys and other fairy tale devices. The setting of the story is the Tuscan area of Italy. It was a unique literary marriage of genres for its time. The story's Italian language is peppered with Florentine dialect features, such as the protagonist's Florentine name. In the 1850s, Collodi began to have a variety of both fiction and non-fiction books published. Once, he translated some French fairy-tales so well that he was asked whether he would like to write some of his own. In 1881, he sent a short episode in the life of a wooden puppet to a friend who edited a newspaper in Rome, wondering whether the editor would be interested in publishing this "bit of foolishness" in his children's section. The editor did, and the children loved it. The Adventures of Pinocchio were serialized in the paper in 1881, and then published in 1883 with huge success.

Nella bottega del falegname mastr'Antonio, detto mastro Ciliegia per via del naso tondo e paonazzo, si trova un pezzo di legno da cui il falegname, ritenendolo di scarso valore, intende ricavare una gamba di tavolino. All'improvviso il pezzo di legno comincia incredibilmente a parlare (implora il falegname di non martellarlo forte) e mastro Ciliegia, spaventato, lo regala all'amico Geppetto, anche lui falegname, chiamato Polendina da chi vuol farlo arrabbiare (anche se Geppetto notoriamente irascibilissimo) a causa del colore della sua parrucca gialla, capitato nella sua bottega per chiedergli appunto un pezzo di legno con il quale costruirsi un burattino che gli consenta di guadagnarsi da vivere tenendo spettacoli.
