Erase una vez una mujer que deseaba ser madre, pero no conseguía tener un hijo. Así que pidió ayuda a una bruja, que le dio una semilla de cebada y le dijo que la pusiera en un jarrón. La mujer planto la semilla y rapido crecio una flor: parecia un tulipan, pero entre sus petalos habia una niña como un pulgar de grande.

Hace mucho tiempo el diablo construyó un espejo mágico que deformaba las cosas: todo lo que era bello se convertía en feo, y todo lo que era feo se convertía en horrendo.El diablo se divertía mirando el mundo en su espejo magico, pero un dia se rompio y los pedazos cayeron sobre la Tierra.

Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very, very deep; so deep, indeed, that no cable could fathom it: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above...Hans Christian Andersen, often referred to in Scandinavia as H. C. Andersen 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, called eventyr in Danish or"fairy-tales"in English, express themes that transcend age and nationality.Andersen's fairy tales, which 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 stories have inspired ballets, both animated and live-action films, and plays.

El libro que tienes en tus manos no es una obra religiosa, es una representación literaria, creada por autores mundialmente reconocidos, de la sempiterna lucha entre el bien y el mal, entre lo justo y lo inaceptable, entre lo correcto y lo erroneo. Una disputa que esta grabada a fuego en nuestros corazones en las figuras de los angeles y los demonios. Los primeros simbolizan el amor, la bondad y el altruismo; los segundos, el odio, el terror y la ira. Mientras que los seres malignos se presentan ante la humanidad con infinitas (y malevolas) caras y un baul lleno de trucos para hacernos caer en la tentacion, los seres angelicales vienen encarnados normalmente como entes de luz, criaturas de gran pureza que tienen como funcion principal ayudarnos a crecer como personas y alentarnos a sortear los peligros de la vida. Aqui encontraras relatos de intriga, miedo, humor, fantasia, magia, ciencia ficcion..., una amalgama de visiones de una misma batalla. ¿Quien crees que ganara?

Andersen scopre nuove sorgenti del meraviglioso [...], non si deve equivocare con prodotti artigianali e surrogati quali la novelletta edificante, il raccontino didascalico omoralistico, insomma quella che viene chiamata [...] "letteratura pedagogica"». Così Gianni Rodari, che vedeva nel narratore danese un grande innovatore e sperimentatore del genere favolistico. Infatti, mentre i fratelli Grimm per la loro raccolta attinsero prevalentemente al folklore e alle fonti tradizionali del popolo tedesco, Andersen fa della materia esistente il punto di partenza per le sue elaborazioni fantastiche, per le sue invenzioni anche stilistiche. Prende spesso spunto da episodi della sua vita, cosicché l'elemento tradizionale si intreccia e compenetra con il vissuto personale - esperienza reale o memoria di un racconto ascoltato da bambino - per poi lasciar libera la fantasia di galoppare e percorrere strade di cui egli stesso si stupisce. La novita e la diversita della sua opera scandalizzarono gli accademici e disorientarono i lettori, sia per l'introduzione della lingua parlata in ambito letterario, sia per le invenzioni anche sintattiche e grammaticali in cui ci si imbatte leggendo i suoi testi. Ma proprio attraverso queste "sconvenienti" deviazioni dalla regola e dalla tradizione, il narratore riesce a incantare, a trasmettere l'intima poesia di un animo sensibilissimo, a esprimere l'essenza dello spirito popolare danese, allegro, scanzonato, bonario e saggio. Le meravigliose favole di Andersen sono un capolavoro universale e senza tempo.
