Overview
NETFLIX y DISNEY+ estrenan en 2022 sendas películas basadas en el clásico de Collodi, una dirigida por Guillermo del Toro, otra protagonizada por Tom Hanks.
«Las mentiras, hijo mío, se reconocen enseguida porque las hay de dos clases: están las mentiras de piernas cortas y las mentiras de nariz larga.»
Aunque se trata de una de las historias más célebres del mundo, Las aventuras de Pinocho es al mismo tiempo una obra en gran medida desconocida. Las aventuras de un trozo de madera parlante no son aquí un cuento moralizante ni sentimental, sino un relato profundamente subversivo sobre la infancia perdida, transido de crueldad, magia y sátira, en el que se entreveran la picaresca, el teatro callejero y los cuentos de hadas de un modo que anticipa el surrealismo e incluso el realismo mágico.
Jack Zipes, eminente estudioso de la narrativa fantástica popular, firma la introducción que abre el presente volumen. La traducción al castellano es fruto del laborioso trabajo de Miquel Izquierdo, que dota a este clásico insoslayable de una actualidad palpitante.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Great Classics collection offers this beautiful edition of The Adventures of Pinocchio, one of the best known and least read works of popular culture.
NETFLIX and DISNEY+ bring two versions of this classic in 2022, one directed by Guillermo del Toro, the other one with Tom Hank as Geppeto.
"Lies, my son, are immediately recognizable because there are just two kinds of them: short-legged lies, and long-nosed lies."
One of the most famous stories in the world, The Adventures of Pinocchio is also a largely unknown work. The adventures of this wooden puppet are not a moralizing, sentimental tale, but a deeply subversive, cruelty-filled, satirical and magical story about lost childhood. In it, picaresque, street theater, and fairy tales blend in a way that anticipates surrealism and even magical realism.
Jack Zipes, an eminent scholar specialized in popular fantastic narrative, writes the introduction to this volume. The translation into Spanish is the result of the laborious work of Miquel Izquierdo, who gives this classic a pulsating relevance.
