Электронная книга "Fairy Tales: The Ultimate Hans Christian Andersen", Hans Christian Andersen.

Hans Christian Andersen, born April 2, 1805 in Odense, was a Danish writer and poet. In his early days, Andersen wanted to become an opera singer. In 1819 he went to Copenhagen to pursuit that dream. The short stories book "Album without pictures," released in 1840, brought Andersen even more success. In the style of the German romantics Andersen did a lot of travelling - to find himself in the world and the world in himself. In 1840-41, after visiting Germany, Italy, Malta and Greece, he came to Istambul and returned home through the Black Sea and the Danube.

The background of these pages is reproduced from a paper cutting made by Andersen himself.
