| Summary |
"The Heart of Pinocchio: New Adventures of the Celebrated Little Puppet" by Nipote is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This imaginative retelling continues the adventures of the beloved wooden puppet Pinocchio, who has now discovered he has a heart and has become a real boy. The story explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the challenges of growing up as it follows Pinocchio's latest escapades, including his involvement in a war to defend Italy. At the start of the novel, we find Pinocchio waking up in his room, feeling a strange ticking noise inside him, which leads him to question whether he has truly become a real boy. Amidst his antics, including a comedic encounter with a parrot and a chaotic escape from would-be captors, Pinocchio learns about the weight of his decisions and the importance of courage. As he chooses to volunteer for the army, he grapples with the realities of war while demonstrating his resilience and loyalty to his friends, setting the stage for a narrative that combines humor with poignant moments of growth and self-discovery.
