Hans Hans Christian Andersen - - Danish writer and poet, author of world -famous fairy tales for children and adults: “The ugly duckling”, “New Dress of the King”, “Shadow”, “Princess on the pea”. Hans-Cristiana Andersen was born on April 2, the father of Andersen was a poor shoe, mother Anna Marie Andersdatter was a laundress from a poor family, she had to ask for alms in childhood, she was buried in a cemetery for the poor.

In Denmark, there is a legend about the royal origin of Andersen, because in an early biography, Andersen wrote that in childhood he played with Prince Frites, later - King Frederick VII, and he had no friends among street boys - only the prince. Andersen's friendship with Prince Frites, according to Andersen's imagination, continued in adulthood, until the death of the latter.

After the death of Fritits, with the exception of relatives, Andersen alone was admitted to the grave of the deceased. The reason for this imagination was the stories of the boy’s father that he was a relative of the king. Since childhood, the future writer showed a tendency to dream and composition, often arranged impromptu home performances that caused laughter and mockery of children.

In the city, he was an apprentice first at the weaver, then at the tailor. Then Andersen worked at a cigarette factory. In early childhood, Hans Christian was a closed child with big blue eyes who sat in the corner and played his favorite game - a puppet theater. He retained his only occupation in his youth. There is no more dangerous weapon against the hell than ink and printing: they will someday finally take it off the world.

Andersen Hans Christian at the age of 14, Andersen went to Copenhagen, his mother let him go, because she hoped that he would stay there a little and return. When she asked the reason he was going, leaving her and the house, young Andersen immediately replied: “To become famous! He received money on a colonel’s recommendation letter, in whose family he arranged his performances in childhood.

During the year of life in Copenhagen, he tried to get to the theater. At first he came home to the famous singer and, from excitement, bursting with tears, asked her to arrange him in the theater. She, only to get rid of the annoying strange, lanky teenager, promised to arrange everything, but, of course, did not fulfill her promise. Much later, she will tell Andersen that she simply took him for a madman then.

Hans Christian was a lanky teenager with elongated and thin extremities, a neck and the same long nose, he was the quintessence of the ugly duckling. But thanks to his pleasant voice and his requests, as well as out of pity, Hans Christian, despite the ineffective appearance, was admitted to the Royal Theater, where he played secondary roles. He was more and less involved, and then the age break of the voice began, and he was fired.

Andersen, meanwhile, composed the play in 5 assets and wrote a letter to the king, convincing to give money to her publication. This book also included poetry. Hans Christian took care of advertising and gave an announcement in the newspaper. The book was printed, but no one bought it, it went to the wrap. He did not lose hope and carried his book to the theater, so that the play was staged by the play.

He was denied the wording "due to the complete lack of experience with the author." But he was offered to study because of a good relationship with him, seeing his desire. The sympathetic to the poor and sensitive boy people petitioned the king of Denmark Frederick VI, who allowed to study at a school in the town of Slagels, and then at another school in Elsinor at the expense of the treasury.

This meant that it would no longer need to think about a piece of bread, about how to live on. The students at the school were 6 years younger than Andersen. He subsequently recalled the years of study at school as the most gloomy time of his life, due to the fact that he was strictly criticized by the rector of the educational institution and painfully worried about this until the end of his days-he saw the rector in nightmares.

In the year, Andersen completed his studies. Until the end of his life, he made a lot of grammatical mistakes in the letter - Andersen did not defeat letters. In the year, Andersen fell out of bed, struck strongly and no longer recovered from injuries, although he lived for another three years. He died on August 4 and was buried in the Assistance Assistens cemetery in Copenhagen.
