"When Hans Christian... «Into the Drowning Deep»
RamingoWS12 апреля 2018"When Hans Christian Andersen wrote 'The Little Mermaid' in 1836, he inverted the old mermaid stories. No longer were women going to the sea: instead they wanted to leave it, to explore the clearly superior wonders of human society. The majority of mermaid stories written after this fable took root have shown this same sensibility -- the idea that somehow life on land is superior. Please note that I said 'the majority.' I`ve been teaching this class for some time now, and I can assure you that I`ve seen every exception to the rule. Writing and self-publishing a novel to prove me wrong is a viable use of your time, but you should be aware that six people have gotten there before you for specifically that reason."
