HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, THE MASTER OF FAIRY-TALES.

Many children throughout the world are acquaintec;Jwith the adven-

tures of Hans Christian Andersen's Iiterary characters, they have suffered with
them, and laughed with them and they have lived with them in a world of
beauty and magic. The world created .by Hans Christian Andersen. Most of

199
 them don't know, however that in a way, the life of Hans Christian Andersen
himself was like a fairy-tale.
I

He was born in Odense, on the green island of Fünen, in Denmark, on

April 2,1805, the only child of a poor shoemaker and his wife, a simple
washerwoman, ignorant and superstitious. The father's work bench took up
much of the space of the small house where they.lived; there was also an old
cupboard with some well-worn books and a few other treasured possessions,
the beds, and a few chairs. The house was in the slums of Odense, andwhat
the father made from the sho~s he sold to the poor people in the
neighborhood, or from his repair work, was very little, hardly enough to
support his wife and child. However, they were a happy family: The father
loved to read stories from lhe old books to his child, and to bring them to life
in the puppet theater he had constructed out of a wooden box. Hans learned
to know the chara.cters of all the stories, and also learned to make the
puppets and dress them in discarded pieces of leather, silk and other
materials. This really marks the beginning of Hans Christian Andersen fairy
world; this, and the many ghost stories his mother used to tell him, or his'
grandmother, or the other women who worked with her in ttíe asylum for
the insane in Odense, where his g.randfather was confined.

There was another beautiful ex.perience in Hans Christian's life,

connected with his father: their Sunday walks through the WQods,picking
wild strawberries, collecting leaves and flowers, observing life all around. The
streets of Odense were stonepaved, and the humble houses of the slums had
no gardens. However, people managed to grow some plants in them, like
Hans Christian's mother, who had a roof gardeh made of wooden boxes
filled with soil. 80t across the stream in the outskirts of town, there ex-
. tended a world of coolness and green beauty and comfort, and Iittle Hans
loved to go there, and his soul absorbed avidly all the wonderful sensations
of communion with nature, and all the simple wisdom of his father. Al! this
ended soon, because his father offered his services as a volunteer in .the
Napoleonic Wars, and when he returned his health and his spirit were
broken, little was left of his optimism and gaiety, and he had lost the ability
to daydream~ Not long afterwards, when Hans was eleven years old, he died.
The mother married again soon, and Hans had to find a job. He tried to learn
a trade, but his several efforts at apprenticeship in different trades failed
because of the unkind jokes of his companions an.9his own inability to cope
.with them. This was not new, the same thing had happened in school, where
his classmates ridiculed him for his big nose, his large feet and h-ands-,and his
uncommon height; but more than anything, because he was excessively
sensitive, and that made him the easy target of all kinds of jokes, so me o.f
them very cruel. For that reason, young Hans had preferred to stay home and

200
read or play with his puppets and had abandoned school, and for that r~ason
also, he decided one day to leave Odense and his pursuit for atradé and to
try his luck at -the Royal Theatrein Copenhagen. He warrté"dto become
famous, and he was sur.e he could attain fame if he was willing to suffer for
it. Since his mother had married again, there was no problem in leaving
home. When he told her of his plans to go to Copenhagen, she asked, "What
are you going to do there?" His answer had the simple logic of an innocent
and ignorant child, /11 shall be famous./I and he added, "first you suffer
terrible things, then you get to be famous." And famous he got, but it was
not easy, and it really meant great suffering. He broke his clay pig, and
gathered all his savings, some thirty shilli.ng, and left for the city of his
dreams of success. It was 1819, and he was fourteen years old. .

His mother had taught him how to make a little money go a long way,
but even so, he had to go hungry on many occasions. He found a job at the
Royal Theatre, strangely enough as a dancer, which was hardly the righ~.
activity for him, and after that, in the choir school. This was better, as he
had a sweet and melodious voice. He had the gift for making people want to
help him, and found protection in two musicians and in the poet Frederik
Hoegh Gulberg, who became his friends, and also in Jonas Collin, one of the
directors of the theater. He wanted to become a playwright, and when his
voice broke and he could no longer continue i~ the choir, he wrote some
tragedies, which were rejected as not adequate for performance. Then Jonas
Collin managed to obtain a scholarship for him, and sent him to the grammar
school of Slagelse in 1822. It was a good thing Hans accepted this oppor-
tunity'to complete his formal education, but he suffered very much during
the five years h,e had to attend school again, first in Slagelse and then in
Elsinore, all under the same headmaster, a man by the name of Simon
Meisling, who seemed to find special pleasure in taunting him with his
cutting remarks and cruel mockery. He and his wife made I¡fe so miserable
for Hans, that finally Mr. Collin decided to find private tutoring for the boy,
so that he could finish hi~ preparation to enter Copenhagen University' and
pass his universityeX'amination. "

In 1822 he had published his first book, Ungdoms-Forsct>'9 (/lYouthful

Attempts/l) under a pen name that included those of Will.iamShakéspeare and
Walter Scott, whom he admired very much, plus his. own: Villiam Christian
Walter; and h'is first poem, "Det df/>endeBarn" (/lThe Dying Child"), 1827.
NQw in 1829, after getting through with his stud¡"es,he published his first
really important book Fodreise fra Holmens Canal til f/)stpynten of Almager
(/lA Journey on Foot frÓm Holman's Canal to the East Point of Almager"), a
poetic description of the streets of Copenhagen. He also had the satisf.action
the same year, of seeing his first play performed in the Royal Theatre. The

201
'~
Wfjy-w~ovy open for him as a writer, and other publications followed,
however, they were not well received by the critics of his country. Success
was awaiting him after he traveled abroad on a small allowance granted for
this purpose by King Frederick of Denmark. It came with his novel The
Improvisatore (1835), which was translated into German and English, thus
marking the beginning of his international fame. This novel gave him enough
money to solve his economic difficulties. The setting of The Improvisatore is
Italian, but it is an autobiographical novel the same as his other important
'novels that were published afterwards. He also published some delightful
books in which he recorded his impressions 6f the countries he visited,with
. sketches he himself made, among them: En Oigters Bazar '("A Poet's
Bazaar"), I Sverrig ("P,ictures of Sweden"), and I Spanien ("In Spain").'
However, what really gave him fame, and placed him among the truly great
writers of all times, were his fairy-tales, the first series of which he began
publishing in 1835. He called his fairy.;tqles Eventyr to distinguish them from
Historier; the first had supernatural elements, the second didn't. He never
gave much importance to his Eventyr, whlch he wrote almost as a pastime
and mainly for the money he could obtain f~om them. To him his really .

important work were his novels, 'poems, plays and travel books, yet people
everywhere know him for his wonderful fairy-tales, some 168 in alf, which
have the beauty and simplicity and universality of all masterworks. Who
hasn't suffered with "The Ugly Duckling", with his terrible feeling of
inadequacy and loneliness, and also rejoiced with him and marveled at his
discovery of love and beauty? Who hasn't perceived the tenderness and
faithfulness and sadness of "The Little Mermaid"? or the sweet simplicity of
the love story of the brave "Tin Soldier" and his muchadmired ballerina?
Who hasn't also marveled and laughed at the stupidity of men as depicted in
"T.he Emperor's New Clothes", or "The Nightingale"? , or hasn't seen him-
self reflected in "The Fir Tree", which was never satisfied with what he had,
only to discover, after losing it, how valuable it really was. In our days
Andersen's fairy tales are for children, and it isa good thing they are, except
perhaps for a few of them which are really traumatic, beéause that way
children ,can enjoy the wisdom and humor and tenderness of the world
created by this great author. But he didn't write them for 'children, they
were his way of expressing his loneliness and his need for love and self-
. realization. He had a very difficult personal ity, especially because he was
easily wounded, perhaps because of what he had to suffer as a child, and his
friends had a hard time in their relationship with him. He never married,
although he was in love on three occasions, one of them with the famous
Swedish singer Jenny Lind, who inspired some of his beautiful tales. .
He created a new style of writing by using everyday expressions 'in his
stories, and thus innovated the literature of Denmark. His fresh and 'simple
style also inspired writers in other countries to imitation. There are more

202
 than two thousan'd editions of his fairy tales, and they have been translated '

into more than eighty languages.When he reached his seventieth birthday, .

his tale "The Story of a Mother'.', which appeared in 1848 for the first time,
was published simu Itaneously in fifteen languages as a special honor to him.
Little could the poor child of thé shoemaker and the washerwoman,' who
was the object of ridicule of his classmates and coworkers in Odense dr;eam
that he would be received by kings and famous people everywhere, and more
importantly, that children and grownups all over the world would get to
know and I~ve him through his wonderful stories.
He died on August 4,1875, at the age of seventy, in the summer villa
of a friend in Copenhagen and was buri~d there. Two monuments stand in
this city in his memory, his statue at the King's Garden, with the inscription
H.C. Andersen, Digter (poet and writer) and a small bronze statue of theLittle
Mermaid at the shores of the Langeline, looking sadly into the sea. He gave.
'true life to everything he created with his words, and authenti~ proof is this
Little Mermaid cast in bronze, to whom people bring flowers as if it were
- somebody who had really lived.
