A large biography of Andersen

About the life and work of Hans, Christian Andersen, was born on April 2, Father Andersen, Hans Andersen - was a poor shoe, mother Anna Marie Andersdatter - was a laundress from a poor family. Since childhood, the future writer showed a tendency to dream and composition, often arranged impromptu home performances that caused laughter in 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. The puppet theater Andersen was fond of later. At the age of 14, Andersen went to Copenhagen; 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 went to get a job at the theater, motivating it with his love for everything that is connected with him. 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, Andersen 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 limbs, a neck and the same long nose, he was a kind of life analogue of a nasty duckling.

But thanks to his pleasant voice and his requests, as well as out of pity, Hans Christians, despite the ineffective appearance, was admitted to the Royal Theater, where he played secondary roles. He was less 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. Little was written up to a year when Andersen received a cash allowance from the king, which allowed him to carry out the first foreign trip in his life. Starting from this time, Andersen writes a large number of literary works, including in the year - glorifying his “fairy tales”.

In the X years, Andersen tried to return to the stage, but without much success. At the same time, he confirmed his talent, publishing a collection "Book with pictures without pictures." The glory of his "fairy tales" grew; The 2nd issue of "Tales" was started in the year, and the 3rd-at this point he was already a famous writer, widely known in Europe. In June, he first arrived in England and was awarded the triumphal meeting.

In the second half of X and in the following years, Andersen continued to publish novels and plays. The last fairy tale was written by Andersen on Christmas. 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.
