Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Puppet Count Carlo Gozzi, the Venetian, says ingenuously that humanity has always quested after the marvelous like a hound, which may be true enough; and yet, he who has an extraordinary tale to tell must hesitate. But there are considerations other than my own which lead to this narration; and on their account I am will ing to risk people decrying it. For I have felt, and Monseigneur Reux has felt (i call him still that this should be told, not only to explain certain episodes for the students of contemporary manners and politics, but as well to give the true reasons for the seemingly inex plicable conduct of a family whose affairs.

Download or read book Pinocchio written by Carlo Collodi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pinocchio The Tale of a Puppet by Carlo Collodi he old wood-carver Geppetto decides to make a wonderful puppet which can dance & turn somersaults, but by chance he chooses an unusual piece of wood. The finished puppet can talk & misbehave like the liveliest child. But Pinocchio is brave & inquisitive as well as naughty. After some hair-raising adventures, he earns his heart's desire. Though one of the best-known books in the world, Pinocchio at the same time remains unknown-linked in many minds to the Walt Disney movie that bears little relation to Carlo Collodi's splendid original. That story is of course, about a puppet who, after many trails, succeeds in becoming a "real boy." Yet it is hardly a sentimental or morally improving tale. To the contrary, Pinocchio is one of the great subversives of the written page, a madcap genius hurtled along at the pleasure and mercy of his desires, a renegade who in many ways resembles his near contemporary Huck Finn.

I have already mentioned that Maya and Visarada, the only two puppet makers whose names we know, are described as mechanicians.42 We are entitled to assume that in the puppet-show the 577174 (l/ezim was the actor, who moved the puppets and spoke for them; the sl/zzipa/ea the man whose duties consisted, first and foremost, in making, mending, and putting them on the stage. However thatqmay be, it is certain that two of the most important members of the personnel of the oldest Indian stage have, as their names show, been taken over from the puppet-play. And this is not the only fact which tends to prove that the Indian drama was developed out of the puppet-play. Other facts point to the same conclusion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Puppet-Booth: Twelve Plays A pool in the heart of the primeval forest. Close beside it, a human habitation half lodge, half chapel. The pool is fed by a small stream which, rising high above, forms a waterfall over a ledge of rock; and it is emptied by means of a wider stream which flows into a lake lying many feet below. Close to the edge of the pool a flock of lambs are grazing, and two or three swans, with their young, float upon its surface. The spot is closed in by a chain of mountain-peaks pink in the latest moment of the sunset glow, and upon the lightly ruffled bosom of the pool itself one sees the dancing double of the evening star. Present: the Saint and the Sinner. She is robed in a fluttering tissue of celestial blue; he is clad in penitential garb and reclines on a rustic couch beside which rests his harp; he has left some of his best years behind him, and his face shows the scars and flushes of a hundred strange sins.
