  H. C. Andersen

  A native of Denmark , Hans Christian Andersen is one of the immortals of world literature. The fairy tales he wrote are like no others written before or since. The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Snow Queen , The Swineherd , The Nightingale Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense on April 2, 1805 in a one-room house in Hans Jensens Strde and lived here a short time from 1805 -1807. In 1807 Hans Christian and the family moved to another house, Hans Christian Andersen Childhood Home, in Munkemllestrde 3-5 in Odense, where he lived from 1807-1819.

  When he was 11 years old, his father died and he was virtually left alone. He went to school only at intervals and spent most of his time imagining stories rather than reading lessons. He could memorize very easily and learned some of his lessons by listening to a neighbourhood boy who was in the habit of studying aloud. He memorized and recited plays to anyone who would listen and imitated ballet dancers, acrobats or pantomists.

  To put an end on this, his mother apprenticed him first to a weaver, then to a tobacconist and finally to a tailor. Hans Christian knew these occupations were not for him. The only things that held his interest were the theater , books and stories. When he was 14, he decided to go to Copenhagen. Few monts after his confirmation on the 4 September 1819 he leaved Odense and seek his fortune in Copenhagen.

  There followed three bitter years of poverty. Hans Christian earned a little money singing in a boys choir until his voice changed. He tried to act and to join the ballet, but his awkwardness made these careers impossible. He attempted to work with his hands but could not do this either. It never occured to him to return home and admit defeat.

  At last, when he was 17, Andersen came to the attention of Chancellor Jonas Collin, a director of The Royal Theater in Copenhagen. Collin had read a play by Andersen and saw that the youth had talent. He procured money from the king Frederik 6 for Andersens education and sent him to a school near Copenhagen. First in Slagelse and later in Elsinore . His teacher, a bitter man, treated him harshly and took delight in taunting him about his ambition to become a writer. Finally Collin took the youth from the school and arranged for him to study under a private tutor in Copenhagen. In 1828, when he was 23, Andersen passed his entrance examinations to the university in Copenhagen.

  Andersens writings began to be published in Danish in 1829. In 1833 the king gave him a grant of money for travel and he spent 16 months wandering through Germany, France, Switzerland and his beloved Italy. His works were poems, plays, novels and impressions of his travels . Andersen was i the periode 1831 -1873 on 30 travels to other countries. Hans Christian Andersen lived nearly 15 years in other countries. To travel is to live...

  In 1835 Andersen published Fairy Tales for Children - four short stories he wrote for a little girl, Ida Thiele, who was the daughter of the secretary of the Academy of Art. People, who had read the stories - adults as well as children - wanted more. Andersen published 168 fairy tales in all. He wrote the stories just as he would have told them. Although he never married and had no children of his own, he was at his best as an interpreter of the nature of children.

  Hans Christian Andersen died on Aug.4, 1875.
