Que ce soit l’amour impossible d’un soldat de plomb pour une danseuse de porcelaine dans Le Vaillant Soldat de plomb, celui d’une petite sirène pour un prince dans La Petite Sirène, ou encore la mise en scène de la vanité des hommes dans Les Nouveaux Habits de l’empereur, Andersen sait avec une grande subtilité, à partir d’objets ou d’attitudes de la vie quotidienne, enchanter le réel. Chaque conte est ainsi pour l’écrivain l’occasion de relater un parcours initiatique à travers des récits courts, merveilleusement ciselés. Ses propres obsessions autobiographiques sont transfigurées en données universelles qui décrivent, sous une forme faussement anodine, les profondeurs de l’âme humaine. Dès lors, nous comprenons pourquoi les Contes d’Andersen restent le livre le plus traduit après la Bible
