Hans Christian Andersen’s (1805–1875) fairy tales are profound and exquisite, like precious treasures that enchant both children and adults. Writing at the height of the pan-European revival of national literatures, Andersen became a pioneer of the fairy-tale genre. He wrote in a folk language that was easy to understand, making it seem as though the author himself were speaking from the pages. At times, Andersen called his fairy tales stories, in which he vividly and meticulously portrayed the atmosphere of Denmark, because, as the writer said, “the most wonderful fairy tales grow out of reality.”
This edition presents 34 fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen in a masterful translation by the renowned translator Halyna Kyrpa, who restored and reproduced all the author’s emphases removed during the Soviet censorship era. The revised translation is complemented by thorough notes from literary scholar and translator Volodymyr Panchenko, which will interest both researchers of Andersen’s work and a broad readership.
Immerse yourself in the extraordinary world of the genius storyteller—Hans Christian Andersen!
