Книга «Семь жен Синей Бороды» нобелевского лауреата Анатоля Франса вышла в 1909 году. Все новеллы построены на сказочном или легендарном сюжете. Но самые удивительные чудеса не выдерживают соприкосновения с действительностью: законченный злодей Синяя Борода оказывается простаком; при дворе Спящей Красавицы царят мелочные интриги, разбудивший ее прекрасный принц — только «князек с хорошенькими усиками»; воскрешенные святым Николаем мальчики превращаются в грабителя, ростовщика и еретика; и ничто на свете не в состоянии убедить трезвого эпикурейца Буленгрена в существовании фей. Зато вечные вопросы, волнующие каждого человека, решаются в новеллах неожиданно и изящно. Не в самозабвении ли счастье? Может ли порок стать добродетелью? Всегда ли счастлив богатый человек? И как быть любимым?
