About the author

Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H.C. 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. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories — called eventyr, or "fairy-tales" — 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. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Nightingale", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and many more. His stories have inspired plays, ballets, and both live-action and animated films.

Klasická pohádka vhodná pro nalazení do sváteční nálady před Vánoci. Plná sněhu, ztráty, ale také odvahy a lásky, protože přesně to je její poselství - láska přemůže veškeré zlo. Celkem členěna na sedm částí, příběhů, které vytváří vyprávění o putování Gerdy při hledání Kaye.

Pohádka byla zpracována nesčetněkrát jako audiokniha a já si ji poslechla ve verzi od Audiotéky, kde se role vypravěče ujala Iva Janžurová. Zajímavý poslech, jako by vám vyprávěla babička. Mně se hlas interpretky líbil, ale je poměrně jedinečný a ne každému její tón může sednout - doporučuji tedy poslechnout ukázku. Celkově se na audioknize podílelo 16 známých interpretů pro bohatější prožitek.

If there's anything that sets Andersen's stories apart from the rest, it's that they most often have an element of deep sadness in them. All characters in fairy tales go through a conflict and therefore (though not always) a period of emotional depression, but they're never described in such detail as with Andersen. To be sure, some of his stories don't even fit in with the rest as "fairy tales", and are more akin to Dickens, Hugo, or Vola; stories such as "She Was Good for Nothing", "The Story of a Mother", and "The Little Match Girl". These are stories about sorrow, poverty, and death. Not the kind of tales you'd read by the fire to a group of children. I can't imagine "The Little Match Girl", for example, without also think of Cosette from Les Miserables. When I think of "She Was Good for Nothing", I'm reminded of L'Assommoir. Even with tales about inanimate objects, Andersen somehow manages to evoke some sense of pathos, like with his sad story about the forlorn Christmas tree.

It's clear that Andersen intended to give children, the future of society, strong moral character and the capacity to sympathize. Several of his stories portray the hardships of the poor and misfortunate; those not gifted with wealth or good looks, and it's only too pitiable that society at large hadn't learned from these, for if so perhaps there wouldn't have been world wars, revolutions, and ethnic genocides.

Andersen's tales are well worth reading; do not content yourself with the Disney adaptations, they're nothing like the originals. Among his lighter stories, the story "Little Claus and Big Claus" is the funniest, though outrageous and kind of morbid. Some stories, like "What the Old Man Does Is Always Right" is basically a copy of "Hans im Glück" from Grimm's Fables.

His magnum opus is without a doubt "The Little Match Girl". No fable could compare to its poetic design and its power to strike you numb with emotion. It truly tests a person's humanity, for you'd need a heart of stone not to feel anything after reading it.

Další knížka, kterou od Andersena miluji. Myslím, že je to jedna z nejkrásnějších pohádek, nejen pro děti. :)

Nogle historier og eventyr temmelig intetsigende, andre nogetsigende, mange megetsigende. På trods af den i mine øjne varierende kvalitet er mit overordnede indtryk af Andersens forfatterskab - som jeg i den grad manglede at få større kendskab til - stadig stærkt positivt, og det var en glædelig overraskelse for mig, at jeg kunne få så stor fornøjelse af hans ikke-eventyrlige historier, af hvilke jeg havde læst meget få, om nogen. Det er synd, at det efter alt at dømme er de færreste, der har førstehåndskendskab til den side af hans livsværk.

begonnen met herlezen na bijna 40 jaar... sla achterover van de frisse, spreektalige verteltrant, de wervelstormen waarin de verteller je meesleurt... dyanamisch! tijdloos! modern! geestig! benieuwd wat daar in de nieuwste nederlandse vertaling van overkomt.

I grew up on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales and stories as I was born in the same town as him: Odense in Denmark. I almost like his stories better than his fairy tales.
