Las aventuras de Pinocho — by Antonio Saura, 1994 limited edition

A dark, expressionist reincarnation of Pinocchio , this 1994 Spanish edition—recounted by Christine Nöstlinger and violently illustrated by Antonio Saura—twists the moral fable into a psychological theatre. Published by Círculo de Lectores and Galaxia Gutenberg, it is a book that bleeds both elegance and unrest. Saura’s ink-black, contorted drawings pierce the narrative like intrusive thoughts, making the wooden boy a cipher for darker instincts and surreal transformations.
