KlappentextBenjamin Lacombe´s haunting illustrations alongside Hans Christian Andersen´s classic story of love and loss showcase the tale in an enchanting new light French artist Benjamin Lacombe has created stunning, one-of-a-kind artwork to illustrate the pages of Hans Christian Andersen´s original tale about a young mermaid who makes a devastating deal with a sea witch and transforms into a human, only to end up heartbroken, lose the deal, and lose her life. The book´s illustrations and design are unique, captivating, and unexpectedly haunting, appealing to adult fans of Benjamin Lacombe and the pop surrealist movement as well as a younger audience, especially with the upcoming nostalgia-fueled remake of Disney´s The Little Mermaid. In addition to Hans Christian Andersen´s classic story, the book also includes additional pages featuring Andersen´s unrequited love letters to Edvard Collins and a postface by Lacombe with historical biography and context. In an essay, Lacombe explores LGBTQ themes in Hans Christian Andersen´s life. Frustrated with the overly feminine depictions of the story´s protagonist throughout history, Lacombe has created an androgynous mermaid to showcase the classic tale in a new light.
