Pinocchio
$33.00
This is the story of a puppet who wishes only to become a real boy: a curious creature embarking on an adventurous journey in search of himself.
The book is being published to mark the bicentenary of Carlo Collodi’s birth. We wanted to celebrate a classic of children’s literature by publishing Pinocchio in an illustrated version narrated by Sven Völker, who, with care and respect for the original, reworks the story of the world’s most famous puppet, presenting it to us from a new perspective: that of a ‘machine’ that wishes to become ‘human’.
A surprisingly topical perspective on our present day, in which digital machines are taking the place of human beings.

In the corner of a quiet, long-abandoned house, something is bubbling up and protesting. Suddenly, out from their hiding spots burst three young shapeshifting magicians—an elephant, a blackbird, and a human girl—each of whom embarks on their own journey. But a fierce young Huntress and a mechanical lion-dragon named Clinker are hot on their trails... and won't rest until every last magician is vanquished.
Fans of Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki's work or The Wizard of Oz will feel right at home in the pages of The Magicians, with its fabulously eclectic characters and entertaining, suspenseful, dreamlike story inspired by video games, science fiction, fantasy, and fairy tales. Magic is the beating heart of this multi-world universe—the magic of nature, the magic of childhood, the magic of creativity and imagination. Here, Blexbolex celebrates the mysterious, beautiful mess of life.
Every gorgeous page features a silkscreen-style illustration that brilliantly layers three Pantone spot colors, in a festive palette that suggests “vintage circus.” From the heavy cardstock binding with French flaps, to the bronze metallic endpapers, to the book's paper evoking that of classic comic books, Blexbolex carefully selected the materials that would best realize his vision. The result? A visually stunning work of art.
Blexbolex is an award-winning French graphic artist living in Berlin.
