| Abstract: |
The article discusses the iconic Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, which has been a famous landmark for over 100 years. The statue was commissioned by Carl Jacobsen and sculpted by Edvard Eriksen, based on the ballet performance of The Little Mermaid. The statue has been damaged and restored multiple times, and it holds cultural significance as a symbol of goodness and kindness. The article also explores the life of Hans Christian Andersen, the author of the fairy tale, and his personal connection to the story. The Little Mermaid tale has been reimagined in various adaptations, including films and musicals. [Extracted from the article] |
