Hans Christian Andersen Book order (chronological)

Many years ago there lived an Emperor who was so terribly fond of beautiful new clothes that he spent all his money on dressing elegantly... Jewels in storytelling, these magical fairytales by Hans Christian Andersen were inspired by his own life as an outsider. From 'The Little Mermaid' to 'The Red Shoes', his fables show the ugliest of humanity - its power, greed, vanity - but also how suffering can lead to beauty.

An emperor who cares about nothing but clothes is tricked by two tailors into parading around town in the nude.

Eine alte Kröte glaubt zu wissen, was die Kleine im Leben braucht und schmückt sie als Braut für ihren widerlichen Sohn. Knapp der Heirat entkommen, flieht das mutige Mädchen auf einem Seerosenblatt die Bäche und Flüsse hinunter, wird von einem dicken Maikäfer verfolgt und findet schließlich Schutz vor Eis und Schnee in der behaglichen Höhle einer Feldmaus. Doch auch die Feldmaus entpuppt sich als Besserwisser und will das niedliche Geschöpf mit dem Maulwurf vermählen. Däumelinchen aber mag den stinkreichen Angeber nicht, der nichts von dem liebt, was ihr wichtig ist.

Петербургский художник Антон Ломаев отводит сказкам Андерсена первое место среди книг, которые нравились ему в детстве.

"Eines Abends stand ich ganz betrübt an meinem Fenster, ich öffnete es und schaute hinaus. Nein, wie ich mich freute! Ich sah ein bekanntes Gesicht, ein rundes, freundliches Gesicht, meinen besten Freund von daheim: Es war der Mond, der liebe alte Mond, unverändert derselbe.“ Dieser Mond erzählt dem jungen Dichter jeden Abend eine Geschichte von dem, was er auf seiner Reise am Nachthimmel gesehen hat, Schönes ebenso wie Trauriges, Skurriles, Alltägliches und Wunderbares. Andersens poetischer kleiner „Bilderbogen“ ist ebenso wie seine Märchen berühmt geworden und erscheint hier in einer lange ersehnten Neuübersetzung von Ulrich Sonnenberg.

Vrlo raskošno i kvalitetno izdanje bajki H.C. Andersena, lijepo opremljeno (pozlaćene stranice i tvrde korice) i ilustrirano. Knjiga posjeduje i poveći uvod o slavnom bajkopiscu i vremenu u kojem je stvarao i živio. Knjiga sadrži 40 ponajboljih Andersenovih bajki od ukupno 156 koliko ih je napisao. Neke njegove bajke ne uklapaju se u stereotip o bajkama sa sretnim završetkom. Mnoge kao u životu završavaju tužno, no usprkos tome uvijek su rado čitane, jer se lako poistovjećujemo s njihovim junacima. Sam Andersen imao je tegoban život, prepun nezadovoljstva i boli, ali povremeno ispunjen blistavim uspjesima, baš kao u njegovim bajkama, s kojima je postigao besmrtnost. Ružno pače, Mala sirena, Kraljevna na zrnu graška, Snježna kraljica, Carevo novo ruho – bajke Hansa Christiana Andersena postale su klasici koje svako dijete voli i kojih se svaka odrasla osoba sjeća s ljubavlju. Sva njegova najveća remek-djela pronaći ćete u ovom prekrasnom izdanju za kolekcionare, koje nema konkurencije na tržištu. Od Snježne kraljice do Divljih labudova, Andersenovi čudesni likovi oživljeni su blistavim ilustracijama u vodenim bojama… Te slike savršeno upotpunjuju njegovu živu, bezvremenu prozu koju vam sada predstavljamo u novom, lako čitljivom prijevodu vjernom originalu.

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 eventyr, 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 readers as well. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films.

"I love clothes," cries the Emperor, and he's not kidding. He doesn't care a fig for anything or anybody else--he doesn't have to, he's the Emperor. What a spoiled pig! He's so vain and stuck-up that he's the perfect target for two sly swindlers, who weave him a suit of clothes no one will ever forget--especially not the Emperor!

"...ein Dichter für sämtliche Lebensalter...": Das sorgfältig bearbeitete und gepflegte Büchlein gibt eine Auswahl von Andersens Märchen. Sie sind - wie wir wissen - feinsinnig ausgedacht und spielen oft mit diskreter hintergründiger Ironie. Es gibt hier einige Evergreens wie "Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse", "Des Kaisers neue Kleider", "Das hässliche Entlein", aber auch andere, die einem ebenso in Erinnerung bleiben werden. Insgesamt sind es 13 Märchen. Und jedes ist von Kat Menschik mit einer einprägsamen Illustratione 'dekoriert' worden, muss man schon sagen. Der Text folgt der von Andersen selbst besorgten deutschen Ausgabe. Er wurde anhand des dänischen Originals durchgesehen und wo nötig korrigiert und ergänzt. Ab 5 Jahren, ausgezeichnet, Ruedi W. Schweizer.

Un completo libro ilustrado a todo color con los relatos más conocidos del gran escritor danés Hans Christian Andersen.

Rund 4.500 Seiten Tagebuch hat der dänische Dichter Hans Christian Andersen der Nachwelt hinterlassen, geschrieben während des halben Jahrhunderts zwischen 1825 und 1875. Eine Veröffentlichung hatte er selbst nicht beabsichtigt, obwohl er eine Vielzahl seiner Eintragungen, die bis etwa 1860 auf Reisen und zu besonderen Anlässen, später fortlaufend entstanden, auch als Material für Reisebücher, Romane, Märchen und Briefe nutzte. Er ist ein sensibler und genauer Beobachter der bereisten Länder und der ihm begegnenden Zeitgenossen, darunter Fürsten und Könige, Künstler wie Tieck, Chamisso, Liszt, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Balzac, Heine, Dickens, Rossini und Reuter. Eindrucksvoll erschliesst sich in diesen ungeglätteten Notizen - bei aller Vorsicht und letzter Verschwiegenheit, direkt und indirekt - seine eigene widersprüchliche Persönlichkeit und das nie ausgelöschte Bewusstsein, ein Aussenseiter zu sein.

A little sea princess, longing to be human, trades her mermaid's tail for legs, hoping to win the love of a prince and earn an immortal soul for herself.

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.

(Jack and the beanstalk/The Princess and the Pea)

Geen in de vrije natuur levend dier staat de mens zo na als de vogel. Vele vogels zijn nauw verbonden met onze samenleving, van cultuurvolgers tot symbolen in wereldreligies. Bij de oude Egyptenaren was er Horus, de Valkgod, en in het oude Griekenland was de uil de metgezel van Athene, de godin van de wijsheid. In de christelijke traditie is de duif een mystiek symbool. In sprookjes spelen vogels een belangrijke rol, zoals de Phoenix die herboren uit zijn as opstijgt en de nachtegaal die zijn leven offert voor de liefde. Talrijke roofvogels zijn vrienden en helpers van de mens geworden tijdens de jacht, terwijl kooivogels dagelijks schoonheid en vreugde in onze huizen brengen. Hun aanwezigheid, zowel in de natuur als rondom onze woningen, maakt ons gelukkig. In onze tijd, waarin de natuur steeds verder wordt teruggedrongen door wetenschap en techniek, zijn vogels kostbaarheden die onze bescherming en aandacht verdienen. Hun diversiteit, prachtige veren, krachtige zang en wonderlijke vliegkunst inspireren natuurliefhebbers. Uit de overvloed aan vogelverhalen van schrijvers wereldwijd en de mondelinge tradities die door de eeuwen heen zijn doorgegeven, is nu een selectie gemaakt van de meest interessante en boeiende verhalen.

For over one hundred years The Ugly Duckling has been a childhood favorite, and Jerry Pinkney's spectacular new adaptation brings it triumphantly to new generations of readers.

Splendid watercolors set in the lush countryside bring drama to life.

A charmingly-illustrated take on a classic tale, perfect for young readers. When a young prince decides to marry, his mother insists they search the land far and wide to find a real princess—but the perfect bride is hard to find. Caldecott honoree Janet Stevens' expressive animal illustrations bring humor and fun to this traditional story, from the dancing elephant princess to the rain-soaked tiger princess climbing her pile of fluffy featherbeds. This accessible, easy-to-read adaptation is a classic itself, perfect to share with young readers who will love the intricate outfits and cheery wild creatures prancing across the pages.
