Produktbeschreibung
Hans Christian Andersen (2 April 1805 - 4 August 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children: his stories express themes that transcend age and nationality. Andersen's fairy tales, of which no fewer than 3381 works have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. His most famous fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Match Girl" and "Thumbelina". His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films. One of Copenhagen's widest and busiest boulevards is named "HC Andersens Boulevard"

Autorenporträt
Hans Christian Andersen, born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark, came from a humble background but went on to become a celebrated author worldwide. His father, a poor shoemaker, encouraged his creativity, while his mother, a washerwoman, shared stories that inspired Andersen's imagination. At 14, he moved to Copenhagen to pursue a career in the arts, initially aspiring to act, sing, and dance, though his real passion soon shifted to writing.Andersen gained early recognition for his novels and poetry, but it was his fairy tales that truly solidified his legacy. In 1835, he published Fairy Tales Told for Children, featuring enduring stories like "The Little Mermaid" and "The Ugly Duckling." These tales reflected his unique ability to convey complex emotions through simple language, touching on themes of resilience, acceptance, and compassion, which resonated with both children and adults.Throughout his life, Andersen traveled extensively, and his experiences influenced his writing. Although he became famous and widely admired, he often felt like an outsider, which echoed in many of his stories. Andersen passed away on August 4, 1875, in Copenhagen, leaving behind a literary legacy that continues to inspire readers and artists worldwide.
