Synopsis "Pinocchio "

The old wood-carver Geppetto decides to make a wonderful puppet which can dance and turn somersaults, but by chance he chooses an unusual piece of wood - and the finished puppet can talk and misbehave like the liveliest child. But Pinocchio is brave and inquisitive as well as naughty, and after some hair-raising adventures, he earns his heart's desire.

John Boyne (Dublin, Ireland, 1971) is a distinguished Irish author, globally recognized for his moving novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, an editorial phenomenon translated into almost 40 languages and adapted into film, with more than 5 million copies sold. Educated at Trinity College and the University of East Anglia, Boyne debuted with "The Thief of Time", establishing himself in the literary scene with works like The Congress of Rough Riders and Crippen. His narrative, which alternates between adult and young adult audiences, explores historical and human themes with sensitivity, as demonstrated by Stay Where You Are & Then Leave and The Absolutist. Awarded with prizes such as the IMPAC, the Irish Novel of the Year, and the Gustav Heinemann Peace Prize, Boyne remains an essential voice in contemporary literature, combining commercial success with thematic depth.
