At the end of the podcast, Tim Parks reads a selection from the new translation which sounds quite good.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"&quot;border:none\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1590172892?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=candlestorie-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1590172892&quot;&gt;Pinocchio (New York Review Books Classics)&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;img src=\">Get the new version of <em>Pinocchio<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The image is by Enrico Mazzanti who was the original illustrator of <em>Pinocchio<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOWNLOAD MP3 AUDIO This is an audio interview with Tim Parks on The New York Review of Books about the new translation of Carlo Collodi&#8217;s &#8216;Pinocchio&#8216; by English poet Geoffrey Brock.\u00a0 Parks connects Collodi&#8217;s original work with the unification of Italy and his views on the place of education in society.\u00a0 The interview has a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[137],"tags":[332,121,2490],"class_list":["post-1563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-italy","tag-novel","tag-pinocchio"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1563"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1568,"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563\/revisions\/1568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/candlelightstories.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
