The Happy Family
Book Review
«The Happy Family» (Den lykkelige Familie) by Hans Christian Andersen is a touching and instructive fairy tale that, like many of the author's works, contains deep philosophical meaning. At the heart of the story is the tale of a family of snails living in a cabbage garden. Andersen masterfully uses animal imagery to convey important life lessons about happiness, humility, and self-acceptance. Critics note that despite its simplicity, the fairy tale touches on complex themes such as the search for the meaning of life and true happiness. Andersen shows that happiness is not always linked to external circumstances but rather to one's inner state and attitude towards life. This story, like many of Andersen's works, remains relevant today, continuing to inspire readers of all ages.
