Love of nature, love of country, fellow-feeling with life in everything, and a wonderful gift for investing everything with life wrought together to produce in him a character whose spell is in all his writings. Recognized in courts of kings and castles of nobles, he recited his little stories with the same simplicity by which he had made them familiar in cottages of the peasantry, and endeared himself alike to all who listened. These attributes, while they do not account for his genius, help us to unravel the charm of it. The simplest of the stories meet Ruskins requirement for a childs storythey are sweet and sad.===============TAGS: Hans Andersen Fairy Tales, folklore, myths, legends, childrens stories, bedtime, fables, read, school children, homes, love to read, story-teller, imagination, ugly duckling, steadfast tin soldier, little, Thumbelina, match girl, snow queen, fir tree, tuk, idas flowers, sunshine stories, darning-needle, loving pair, leaping match, happy family, greenies, ole-luk-oie, dream god, money box, elder-tree, mother, roses, sparrows, old house, conceited, apple branch, charm, undiminishing popularity, childrens books, set the standard, childrens author, Denmark, Finland, playwright, poet, cottages, peasantry, listen, sweet, sad

Escribe 164 cuentos para los que toma prestados personajes y argumentos del mundo de la leyenda, la historia o la vida. Los cuatro primeros son publicados en 1835. Aunque estos cuentos estan destinados a los niños, tambien resultan atractivos a los adultos por su imaginacion poetica y, sobre todo, por el sentido moral y filosofico que se esconde detras de cada anecdota. Obras como La sirenita, La pequeña vendedora de fosforos, Pulgarcita, El patito feo o La reina de las nieves, son algunos de sus relatos mas famosos

El 9 de abril de 1835 apareció en Dinamarca la primera novela de Hans Christian Andersen: El Improvisador. Fue la primera novela moderna, de tema contemporáneo, en el país nórdico. Andersen se basó, como casi en toda su obra, en si mismo para escribir este libro. En la novela nos acercaremos al alma del autor y encontraremos tambien muchos elementos que apareceran una y otra vez en sus cuentos: quien los conozca podra reconocer personajes, aventuras y sucesos que asoman por sus relatos mas famosos; incluso el patito feo esta por todas partes, como Antonio-Andersen. La lectura de El Improvisador, sin duda, nos hara entender mucho mejor de donde surgieron sus conocidos cuentos.Finalmente, podemos señalar que el libro, ademas de una novela contemporanea, y de una especie de autobiografia espiritual y literaria, es tambien un libro de viajes. Los itinerarios que sigue Andersen por Italia se pueden reproducir hoy mismo. Las aventuras del protagonista por las calles de Roma, Napoles, Venecia, Milan... nos permiten adentrarnos en la Italia del siglo xix.Por todo esto es un placer presentar, por primera vez en España, esta obra clave para entender el genio literario de Hans Christian Andersen."Una y otra vez uno exhorta a los niños de todas edades a que lean y relean a Andersen."Harold Bloom

This book contains the complete Andersens 127 fairy tales and stories in the chronological order of their original publication. Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales, a literary genre he so mastered that he himself has become as mythical as the tales he wrote. Andersens popularity is not limited to children; his storiescalled eventyrs, or "fantastic tales"express themes that transcend age and nationality. During his lifetime he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide and was feted by royalty. Andersens fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the Wests collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films.
