Looking at the prints referring to selected Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s fairy tales made by G\u00fcnter Grass, we delve into their content to read between the lines in search for hidden meanings, alluding to the uncontrolled subconsciousness, at the bottom of which, underneath safe images and stories, lurk fears, cruelties, black magic. More often than not, fairytales only appear to present a beautiful dreamlike world, which in reality \u2013 including the fairytale reality \u2013 is full of dark and painful nooks. Much like the human psyche developing from early childhood until late old age. What is the real story behind the fairytales which our parents, grandparents and other relatives used to read us before we fell asleep? Do they let us dream beautiful dreams instead of nightmares? Do they elevate us by presenting the beautiful and the good? Or perhaps they constitute a mirror image of human nature\u2019s primary instincts?<\/p>\n
