Victoria Bratkova
“The Mystery of Andersen’s Fairy Tales”
Hans Christian Andersen proposed the reader to focus on one’s own important matters, following the author. It becomes possible because one and the same symbol may have a variety of meanings and we allocate in each one of them what is important to us. The knowledge of myths, archetypes, psychoanalysis and the history of civilisation helps in searching own logic in that which is happening. Victoria Bratkova – the author of the book – shares with the readers her research on the influence of symbols, dreams on the work of the unconscious through the analysis of Andersen’s fairy tales.
