Hans Christian Andersen

biography:
Hans Christian Andersen (April 2, 1805 – August 4, 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales.

Hans Christian Andersen

biography:
Hans Christian Andersen (2. April 1805 – 4. August 1875) war ein dänischer Schriftsteller. Obwohl er zahlreiche Theaterstücke, Reiseberichte, Romane und Gedichte verfasste, ist er vor allem für seine Märchen bekannt. Andersens Popularität beschränkt sich nicht auf Kinder: Seine Geschichten behandeln Themen, die über Alter und Nationalität hinausgehen.

Andersens Märchen, von denen nicht weniger als 3381 Werke in über 125 Sprachen übersetzt wurden, sind fest im kollektiven Bewusstsein des Westens verankert. Sie sind für Kinder leicht zugänglich, vermitteln aber auch erwachsenen Lesern Lehren über Tugend und Widerstandsfähigkeit in schwierigen Zeiten.

Zu seinen bekanntesten Märchen zählen „Des Kaisers neue Kleider“, „Die kleine Meerjungfrau“, „Die Nachtigall“, „Die Schneekönigin“, „Das hässliche Entlein“, „Das kleine Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern“ und „Däumelinchen“.

Seine Geschichten inspirierten Ballette, Theaterstücke sowie Animations- und Realfilme.

Ханс Кристиан Андерсен

biography:
Ханс Кри́стиан А́ндерсен (в русском языке также распространено написание Ганс Христиан, дат. Hans Christian Andersen, датский: [hans kʁæsdjan ˈɑnɐsn̩] (слушать (инф.)); 2 апреля 1805 года, Оденсе, Датско-норвежская уния — 4 августа 1875 года, Копенгаген, Дания) — датский прозаик и поэт, автор всемирно известных сказок для детей и взрослых: «Гадкий утёнок», «Новое платье короля», «Дюймовочка», «Стойкий оловянный солдатик», «Принцесса на горошине», «Оле Лукойе», «Снежная королева» и многих других.

Ханс Кристиан Андерсен родился 2 апреля 1805 года в Оденсе на острове Фюн. Отец Андерсена, Ханс Андерсен (1782—1816), был бедным башмачником, а мать, Анна Мари Андерсдаттер (1775—1833), была прачкой из бедной семьи.

Он рос очень нервным ребёнком, эмоциональным и восприимчивым. В то время физические наказания детей в школах были обычным делом, поэтому мальчик боялся ходить в школу, и мама отдала его в благотворительную школу, где физические наказания не практиковались[6]. Известно, что этой школой руководил христианин Феддер Карстенс.

В возрасте 14 лет Ханс поехал в Копенгаген; мать отпустила его, так как надеялась, что он побудет там немного и вернётся домой. Когда она спросила причину, по которой он едет, покидая её и дом, юный Ханс Кристиан тотчас ответил: «Чтобы стать знаменитым!».

Ханс Кристиан был долговязым подростком с удлинёнными и тонкими конечностями, шеей и таким же длинным носом. Несмотря на его неэффектную внешность, из жалости Ханс Кристиан был принят в Королевский театр, где играл второстепенные роли. Ему предложили учиться из-за доброго к нему отношения, видя его желание. Посочувствовавшие бедному и чувствительному мальчику люди ходатайствовали перед королём Дании Фредериком VI, который разрешил ему учиться в школе в городке Слагельсе, а затем в другой школе в Эльсиноре за счёт казны. Ученики в школе были на 6 лет младше Андерсена. Он впоследствии вспоминал о годах учёбы в школе как о самой мрачной поре своей жизни, из-за того, что он подвергался строгой критике ректора учебного заведения и болезненно переживал по этому поводу до конца своих дней — он видел ректора в кошмарных снах. В 1827 году Андерсен завершил учёбу. До конца жизни он делал в письме множество грамматических ошибок — Андерсен так и не одолел грамоты.

Андерсен никогда не был женат и не имел детей.  В 1829 году опубликованный Андерсеном фантастический рассказ «Пешее путешествие от канала Холмен к восточной оконечности Амагера» принёс писателю известность. Андерсен пишет большое количество литературных произведений, в том числе в 1835 году — прославившие его «Сказки». В 1840-х годах Андерсен попытался вернуться на подмостки, но без особого успеха. В то же время он подтвердил свой талант, издав сборник «Книга с картинками без картинок».

В 1871 году состоялась премьера первого балета по его сказкам — «Сказки в картинах». Несмотря на то, что премьера была неудачной, Андерсен содействовал вручению Анкеровской премии балетмейстеру, своему другу и единомышленнику Августу Бурнонвилю.

В возрасте 67 лет, в 1872 году Андерсен упал с кровати, сильно расшибся и больше уже не оправился от травм, хотя прожил ещё три года. Он скончался 4 августа 1875 года и похоронен на кладбище Ассистэнс (датск.) в Копенгагене.
