Adventures of the Raton Family

A magical fairy tale about the adventures of a rat family. About a kind fairy and an evil sorcerer, a wonderful hero and a foolish prince—about those far-off times when every person became a “person” not right away.

In one small fairy tale, Jules Verne repeats to the reader many good truths: that love is stronger than anything, and that it’s bad to be proud. The author describes, with a touch of criticism, the character of married ladies, but let’s not forget that he himself wasn’t very happy in marriage. Perhaps that’s why the most satisfied in the fairy tale (of course, except for the happily in love) is a wise man who has come to terms with what’s happening and looks at life philosophically.
