A. Tolstoy. "The Golden Key, or The Adventures of Pinocchio"

And it all began with the fact that, when he was in exile in 1923, Alexei Nikolaevich began to work on literary processing in Russian about the wooden doll. Then the writer abandoned the case for as long as ten years, and only in 1934 again returned to the tale. At this time, he recovered from myocardial infarction. And at first he accurately and scrupulously translated the plot of this famous Italian fairy tale, but gradually she was so carried away that she created her original with the history of the hearth on the canvas and the secret golden key.

And here it is worth noting before starting a brief retelling of the content: A. Tolstoy's "Golden Key" after its processing began to sound quite different, because the original fairy tale of Kollodi carried morality and guidance, and this, according to Tolstoy, made it slightly fresh And boring. Alexei Nikolaevich with the blessing of S. Ya. Marshak breathed into his heroes the spirit of risky adventurous adventures and fun. At the end of the summer of 1935 the work was completed and dedicated to his wife LI Krestinskaya (Tolstoy).
