The limited and numbered deluxe edition, limited to 350 copies, is presented in a red laid paper cover featuring a drawing by the artist on the binding, with an illustration wrapping around the dust jacket, and includes a signed and numbered original etching in a laid paper-covered slipcase. "Griebler is an intuitive, radically personal artist," writes Daniel Kehlmann about this book. "In his Pinocchio work, the language of a great draftsman meets the line of a poet, and what emerges is not simply a series of images; it is a life story and, beyond that, a completely independent vision of the world." With his Pinocchio, Carlo Collodi created one of the most illustrated characters in world literature. However, the Pinocchio by Vienna-based artist Matthias Griebler is not an illustration of this text. This artist's book is unique.
