ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Elegance of the Hedgehog” by Muriel Barbery explores the lives of two seemingly ordinary individuals living in a Parisian apartment building: Renée, the unassuming concierge with a hidden intellectual life, and Paloma, a precocious twelve-year-old girl from a wealthy family. Both are struggling with feelings of isolation and disillusionment. The novel delves into themes of beauty, art, philosophy, and the search for meaning in life, contrasting external appearances with internal realities. Through their evolving relationship, the book explores the quiet yet profound ways in which ordinary lives can hold unexpected depth and significance.
