It’s so nice to cozy up in the evening after class, open a book with vivid pictures and be happy for the brave soldier who outwitted the witch with her huge dogs, laugh at the swaggering princess who is ready to kiss swineherd for the sake of artificial appliances. You can cry over the bitter fate of the little mermaid, marvel at the courage of Eliza, who is sitting in prison and saving her brothers, dream up with little Ida! These are the tales written by Andersen. Unforgettable, read to the holes.
Never give up
How happy it all began with Kai and Gerda - they had red and white roses. They ran to visit each other, played together and waited for Christmas. And everything was broken by the cold evil queen who stole Kai and turned him into a soulless robot.
Only the persistence and courage of little Gerda destroyed the evil spell. And how many helpers and friends she found when she walked a long and difficult path to free Kai! And again, happiness blossomed in the little houses.
What fairy tales did Andersen write yet? Courageously behaves a soldier from the fairy tale "Flint." He is not afraid of deep dungeons, huge with eyes, like a round tower, dogs. A soldier is able to outwit the king, escape the gallows and marry the beautiful princess.
Love and sadness
The mermaid happily lived with her sisters in the underwater palace of her father, the king, only sad that she had no soul. She drank the terrible witch potion and rescued the drowning prince.
The prince fell in love with a beautiful silent girl as a sister. And in order to receive an immortal soul, she needed the prince to marry her. But it turned out quite differently. The prince fell in love with the princess and married her. And the little mermaid at dawn with the first rays of the sun turned into cold sea foam. But she will be able to receive an immortal soul if she does good deeds for three hundred years. These are the tales written by Andersen - that, despite all the losses and bitterness from shattered hopes, a dream will come true. You just have to want and wait.
Love and tenderness
On an old, all in curls and patterns, wardrobe, on a mirror-glass stood porcelain charming shepherdess and handsome chimney sweep. The chimney sweep was just a poured prince. At night, all the figures in the room came to life. And once a cowgirl was told that she would be married to a goat-footed wooden freak. He is very rich. All cabinet drawers are clogged with silver. But the shepherdess did not want any wealth. And together with the chimney sweep, they decided to escape into the real world right through the stove chimney. It was a hard way. At the edge of the pipe they sat down to rest.
Around the stars shone - so large and were very close. Under them lay the tiled roofs of the city. The fugitives have never seen such a vast world. The cowgirl was frightened, sobbed very much and requested home. And the chimney sweep gave in to her, even though it was unreasonable. They returned to their small cozy little world. And no one else got married to her. They stood, as before, continuing to love one another.
About tenderness, about shattered hopes, about pure love that no trial will break - these are the tales written by Hans Christian Andersen.
Pride and contempt
With humor and irony, Andersen makes fun of the proud princess who scornfully abandoned the beautiful living roses and nightingale sent to her as a gift by the prince. But, in a burgherly curious way, she is ready to accept his crafts and agrees to kiss him, dressed as a swineherd in a dirty backyard.
The swineherd prince laughs at the stupid, swaggering princess, and then appears to her in her true guise and says: "Now I despise you." Here are some fairy tales written by Andersen, who make fun of fakes, but appreciate real life.
Who is Andersen?
Listening to or reading The Tale of the Ugly Duckling, many did not realize that he had told her about himself. He had many trials before contemporaries recognized him as a beautiful swan. The washerwoman's son, Hans Christian, worked in the tobacco and clothing factories since childhood. He endured hunger and poverty, but still graduated from both the gymnasium and the university. He loved to travel, traveled almost the whole of Europe. Italy especially fell in love with him. From there he brought a small collection of fairy tales that glorified his name. And since then, every year little by little wrote fairy tales and stories. What fairy tales did Andersen write? List not infinite, but long. They make fun of the stupid and vulgar, hostile to life and beauty. He reaches merciless satire in the "New Dress of the King." All sympathy is given to ordinary people from the people (“Girl with matches”, “Lost”, “The happiest of roses”, “Five from one pod”). They are naive and wise, simple and crafty. Immortals.
