- One of the Demon Guardians - Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen (1805©¤1875), commonly known as Andersen, was a Danish writer and poet. He is famous for his fairy tales. The most famous fairy tales include "The Little Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "Thumb Girl", "The Little Match Girl", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Red Shoes" etc.
Andersen received royal tributes during his lifetime and was highly praised for bringing joy to a generation of children across Europe. His works have been translated into more than 150 languages, and thousands of fairy tale books have been published around the world. His fairy tales have inspired numerous films, stage plays, ballets, and film animations.
On April 2, 1805, Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark, the only son in his family. His father, Hans Andersen, was a shoemaker and was frail and sickly. My mother was a few years older than my father, her name was Anna Maria, and she was a washerwoman. The family lives in a small house.
The free educational environment of his parents, especially his mother¡¯s encouragement, enabled Andersen to demonstrate his imaginative talent very early. He built a toy theater in his home and made clothes for his puppets, while reading every play he could borrow, including the works of Louis Holby and William Shakespeare.
When Andersen¡¯s father passed away in 1816, he left all his shoemaking tools to Andersen. Andersen also dropped out of school and stayed home. During this period he served as an apprentice to a weaver and a tailor, and also worked in a cigarette factory, where anecdotes claim that his colleagues teased him for being a girl and even took off his trousers to inspect him.
On Easter 1819, Andersen began to think about his future at St. Canute's Cathedral in Odense, a city in the northern port of Funen, Denmark. Hoping to become an opera singer, Andersen came to Copenhagen in September 1819.
Because of his good voice, he was hired by the Royal Danish Theater; but soon his voice broke and he lost his job. It is alleged. At first he was treated as a lunatic in the theater, so he was ignored and almost starved to death.
But Andersen received help from musicians Christopher Weiser and Siboni, and later from poet Frederic Hogg Goldberg. Although his dream as a singer was shattered, he was accepted as a dance apprentice at the Royal Netherlands Theater.
At the same time he began to write. As he became indolent, Andersen gradually lost Goldberg's affection for him; but at this time Andersen began to receive help from Jonathan Colin, the director of the Royal Theater, and the two later became lifelong friends.
With the introduction and persuasion of Nathan Colin, King Frederick VI became interested in this strange boy and decided to send Andersen to Slagers' law school for further study. and pay all fees. Before setting off, Andersen published his first short story: "The Ghost of Panatok's Tomb" (1822).
The reluctant underachiever first stayed at Slagers and then went to another school in Helsing?r, where he attended until 1827.
He still behaves strangely in school. He was unsociable and his teacher often scolded him. Andersen later described these years as the darkest and most painful period of his life. Finally, Colin finally let him graduate. Afterwards, Andersen went to Copenhagen.
In 1829, Andersen published his travelogue "A Walk from the Holmen Canal to the East Point of Amager in 1828 and 1829", which was quite successful. This was immediately followed by the publication of a farce and a volume of poetry. After these three works, he fell silent again.
But in 1833, he received a small living allowance from the King of Denmark. Thus began the first European tour. In Jura, Switzerland, adjacent to Le Locle, Andersen created "Egnet and the Mermaid".
In October 1834, he arrived in Rome, Italy, and this trip to Italy was later reflected in his autobiographical novel "The Improvisational Poet".
Andersen¡¯s initial attempt at creating fairy tales began with his rewriting of stories he had heard as a child. By creating a series of bold and original fairy tales. Andersen took this genre to new heights.
¡°However, these fairy tales were not widely recognized at first.
In 1835, the first volume of the world-famous "Stories for Children" was published in Copenhagen, followed by more stories in 1836 and 1837, eventually forming the first volume. There are 9 stories in total.
The value of these stories was not immediately recognized, and sales were very poor.
on the other hand. Andersen's novels "Australia" (1836) and "Only a Fiddler" (1837) appeared to be successful. The latter also received evaluation from S?ren Obecker Kegaard and was considered to be Andersen's best novel. Long novel.
In 1838, the second part of "Stories for Children" was published. Includes the fairy tales "Daisy", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" and "The Wild Swan". Andersen's fairy talesIt was published one after another until Andersen's death in 1872.
In Western countries, stories such as "The Ugly Duckling", "The King's New Clothes" and "The Princess and the Pea" have long been known to every household, but only a few people can name their authors.
Like the stories of Charperro, they have become the common heritage of mankind, and like the works of the Brothers Grimm, they have become true folk tales.
In October 2012, Andersen¡¯s debut fairy tale ¡°The Butter Candle¡± was discovered in the National Archives on Funen Island, Denmark. The work was written in the 1820s and tells the story of an unappreciated candle. At that time Andersen was still studying in law school.
Andersen was a great traveler. His furthest journey was from 1840 to 1841, passing through Germany (during the journey he took a train for the first time), Italy, Malta and Greece, and arrived at Kingston. Fort Tantino. Return via the Black Sea and Danube River. His important work "A Poets' Market" (1842) was based on this travel experience.
In 1851, the travel diary "Sweden Scenery" was published and received wide acclaim. In 1863, after an interesting trip, he published another travel diary, "A Journey to Spain." "Visit to Portugal" was published in 1866, describing his experience when visiting his Portuguese friends e and ill.
In the 1840s, Andersen's attention returned to drama. Although the time was short, it awakened his talent and wrote the famous miscellany "Picture Album without Pictures" (1840).
Later, Andersen continued to publish many works, and he still hoped to become an excellent novelist and playwright. In 1857 he wrote another novel "To Be or Not to Be".
Although Andersen's social status in Denmark was still questioned by some in 1845, he was already very popular in Europe.
In June 1847, Andersen made his first socially successful visit to England; when he left, Charles Dickens personally dropped him off at the dock. Shortly afterwards, Dickens published "David Copperfield". It is said that the character P in it was created based on Andersen; at least that character, like Andersen, was left-handed.
Andersen often fell into unrealizable love, and many of the stories he wrote can be interpreted as reflections of his love. Once he wrote in his diary©¤
"Almighty God, I have only you; you control my destiny, I can only give myself to you! Give me a life! Give me a bride! My blood needs love, as does my heart !¡±
When he was young, Andersen fell in love unrequitedly with a girl named Libo Voight. After Andersen died, a long letter from Li Bao was hidden in the wardrobe. He has been in love with her for decades, and he has also fallen in love with others during this time. - Didn't finish reading?
