木偶奇遇記

內容簡介

內容簡介 我認為任何書單都應該把《木偶奇遇記》列在第一本。──伊塔羅．卡爾維諾◎不朽的奇幻文學經典，為兒童打開奇妙的幻想之門，給成年讀者無窮啟發與想像的世界！「柯洛迪精湛的原著和迪士尼改編的版本之間的差異在於，前者不願明白彰顯故事底下潛藏的動機，一如普魯斯特用小說追憶失落的時光，柯洛迪則以故事追憶其失落的童年。」 ──保羅‧奧斯特 遠方傳來吹奏笛子和大鼓的聲音。「怎麼會有音樂呢？可惜我得去上學了......」他站在原地，左思右想，猶豫不決。調皮的小木偶最後聳聳肩說：「今天我先去聽人吹笛子，明天再去上學，上學的機會多的是。」話一說完，立刻走往另一條岔路，沒多久就全速跑了起來。沒想到，這會是一連串奇遇和冒險的開始......《木偶奇遇記》是現代文學最偉大的創作之一。融合童話、街頭演出及民間故事話，創造出一部兼具冒險與諷刺的作品，充滿趣味，並預言超現實主義及魔幻寫實的誕生，是一部讓人永遠陶醉其中，也是人生必讀經典之一。本中文書介出自《木偶奇遇記》愛米粒出版有限公司出版A revelatory new annotated edition of the most translated Italian book in the world--the basis for two new major motion pictures: a Netflix animated version co-directed and co-written by Guillermo del Toro and voiced by Ewan McGregor, Cate Blanchett, and Tilda Swinton, and a Disney Plus live-action version directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks, Cynthia Erivo, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lorraine Bracco, and Keegan-Michael KeyA Penguin ClassicCarved from a piece of wood by the old carpenter Geppetto, the puppet Pinocchio comes to life and immediately starts to misbehave. But while this beloved character has achieved literary immortality, the novel has been widely misunderstood. Pinocchio has a penchant for lying, to be sure, but it’s when he avoids going to school that he repeatedly gets into trouble. The Adventures of Pinocchio is thus not a cautionary tale about lying but an unusually timely fable for our increasingly authoritarian times--a story about the importance of education and of preventing others from pulling our strings. This effervescent new translation captures the antic spirit that makes the mischievous, egotistical, and easily distracted Pinocchio a late nineteenth-century prototype for the likes of Bart Simpson. Featuring copious annotations informed by the translators’ deep knowledge of Italy, it reveals the novel to be not only a subversively entertaining children’s book but also a sophisticated satire reflecting the author’s concern for the social inequality of his time and his belief that duty to others is at the core of our humanity.For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
