Hans Christian Andersen

After saving a prince from drowning, a mermaid princess embraces a life of extreme self-sacrifice to win his love and gain an immortal soul. Over a century after its first publication, Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" persists as one of the world's most enduring works of fantasy for children.This edition combines the world-famous translation of H.B. Paull with two sets of classic illustrations, the engravings of Vilhelm Pedersen from the original Danish edition and Helen's Stratton's illustrations from the first English edition of "The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen." Both sets provide a beautiful and dramatic visual compliment to this haunting and inexpressibly moving tale of love.Also included are notes with pronunciations and definitions of some words that may be unfamiliar to grade school readers.

This book contains the complete Andersen's fairy tales and stories hardcopy format.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. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories - called 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. 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 listeners/readers as well. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films.

The wares of the poor little match girl illuminate her cold world, bringing some beauty to her brief, tragic life.

This is the imaginative tale of a vain Emperor who is hilariously deceived due to his own vanity and dihonesty.The Emperor, who is swindled by two crooks posing as weavers, is fooled because of his desire to be both handsome and wise.In the end, the naked truth is made known by an innocent child, and the Emperor is exposed as the greatest fool of all.

Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are like exquisite jewels, drawing from us gasps of recognition and delight. Writing in the midst of a Europe-wide rebirth of national literature, Anderson broke new ground with his fairy tales in two important ways. First, he composed them in the vernacular, mimicking the language he used in telling them to children aloud. Second, he set his tales in his own land and time, giving rise to his loving descriptions of the Danish countryside. In contrast to such folklorists as the Brothers Grimm, Anderson’s tales are grounded in the real and often focus on the significance of small or overlooked things.Tinderbox --Little Claus and big Claus --Princess on the pea --Thumbelina --Traveling companion --Little mermaid --Emperor's new clothes --Steadfast tin soldier --Wild swans --Flying trunk --Nightingale --Sweethearts --Ugly duckling --Fir tree --Snow queen --Red shoes --Shepherdess and the chimney sweep --Shadow --Old house --Little match girl --Story of a mother --Collar --Bell --Marsh King's daughter --Wind tells of Valdemar Daae and his daughters --Snowman --Ice maiden --Wood nymph --Most incredible thing --Auntie toothache.

"Было когда-то двадцать пять оловянных солдатиков, родных братьев по матери... Все солдатики были совершенно одинаковы, кроме одного, который был на одной ноге. Его отливали последним, и олова немножко не хватило, но он стоял на своей одной ноге так же твердо, как другие на двух.

The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. The tale was first published 21 December 1844 with "The Snow Queen" in Copenhagen, Denmark by C.A. Reitzel. One scholar indicates that "The Fir-Tree" was the first of Andersen's fairy tales to express a deep pessimism.

The shutters were drawn and the doors were closed all day long. It looked just as if everyone were asleep or away from home. The narrow street of high houses where he lived was so situated that from morning till night the sun beat down on it - unbearably!

Durante toda la semana, Claus el Pequeño tenía que arar para el Grande, y prestarle su único caballo; luego Claus el Grande prestaba al otro sus cuatro caballos, pero sólo una vez a la el domingo. Ese día, Claus el Pequeño se mostraba orgulloso arando con los cinco caballos y en cuanto pasaba la gente, gritaba «¡Arre mis cinco caballos!».Esto no gustaba a Claus el Grande, que enfadado agarró un mazo y dio un golpe en la cabeza al caballo de Claus el Chico, y lo mató.El pobre Claus, echándose a llorar, despellejó el animal muerto, puso la piel a secar al viento, la metió en un saco, que se cargó a la espalda, y emprendió el camino de la ciudad para ver si la vendía. Se hizo tarde y tuvo que pasar la noche fuera. Al día siguiente volvió al pueblo cargado de dinero y fue a verle Claus el Grande.
