A propos de l’auteur
Carlo Collodi (1826–1890), born Carlo Lorenzini, was an Italian author who originally studied theology before embarking on a writing career. He started as a journalist contributing to both local and national periodicals. He produced reviews as well as satirical pieces influenced by contemporary political and cultural events. After many years, Collodi, looking for a change of pace, shifted to children’s literature. It was an inspired choice that led to the creation of his most famous work—The Adventures of Pinocchio..Plus d’ebooks du même auteur(s) / Éditeur
