Andersen's life, works and difficulties.

Heinz Christian Andersen (1805 ——1875)

Danish writer. 1805 was born on April 2nd, 2005 in the slum of odense, Feiying Island. My father was a poor shoemaker who volunteered to resist Napoléon Bonaparte's aggression and died in 18 16. My mother is a laundryman and remarried soon. Andersen was tortured by poverty since he was a child. He was an apprentice in several shops and had no formal education. When I was a teenager, I became interested in the stage and dreamed of becoming a singer, actor or playwright. 18 19 became a small role in the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. Later, I was fired because of the wet voice. From then on, I began to learn to write, but the script I wrote was completely unsuitable for performance and was not adopted by the theater. 1822 sponsored by drama director Jonas Colin, attended a grammar school in Lehrer. This year, he wrote a book, The Attempt of Youth, which was published under the pseudonym of William Christian Walter. This pen name includes the names of william shakespeare, Andersen himself and Scott. 1827 published his first poem "dying children", 1829 entered the university of Copenhagen to study. His first important works, 1828 and 1829 from the Hollmen Canal to the eastern corner of Amir Island, were published in 1829. This is a travel story with a good sense of humor, quite in the style of German writer Hoffman. The publication of this travel book made Andersen get the initial recognition from the society. After that, he continued to engage in drama creation. 183 1 year, he traveled to Germany and wrote travel notes on his way home. 1833, he went to Italy and wrote a poetic drama "Gretel and the Mermaid" and a novel "Impromptu Poet" set in Italy (1835).

Andersen's deeds

181611My father died at the age of 0.

18 19 14 years old, he left home alone to seek creative opportunities in Copenhagen.

1822 published the trial collection in August, including poetry, drama and stories. This collection was not published because of its humble origins, but it attracted the attention of some people in the cultural circle. 10 In June, he entered a middle school missionary school to supplement his culture, studied for six years, and felt painful about his own educational methods; However, in the past six years, I have read many famous books, practiced writing poems and practicing writing plays.

1827, leave school and return to Copenhagen. The published poems were praised by high-level critics and inspired Andersen's confidence in writing.

1829, he wrote a long fantasy travel book "A Roaming in Amag Island" and published it. The first edition has been sold out. The publisher immediately bought the second edition on generous terms, so Andersen got rid of the oppression of hunger. The comedy Love on the nikolayev Tower was staged at the Royal Opera House. In the same year, the first book of poetry was published.

1830, the first love failed. Start a trip; The second book of poetry was published.

At the age of 30, 1835 began to write fairy tales, and published the first collection of fairy tales, with only 6 1 page pamphlets, including four articles: Light Box, Little Klaus and Big Klaus, Princess on Pea and Little Flower. His works have not received unanimous praise. Some people even thought that he had no talent for writing fairy tales and suggested that he give up, but Andersen said, "This is my immortal work!" " "

1844, wrote an autobiographical work "Ugly Duckling".

1846, he wrote about the little match girl.

1870 published the longest work "Lucky Belle", with more than 70,000 words. It was written according to one's own life experience, but it was not entirely an autobiography.

1in the early morning of August 4th, 875 1 1, died of liver cancer in a friend's country house. The funeral was extremely tragic, at the age of 70.

Anderson's data

His first fairy tale (for children), including Light Box, Little Klaus and Big Klaus, Princess on the Pea and Little Flower, was published in the spring of 1835. 1837, two stories were added to this episode, which were compiled into the collection of fairy tales 1. The second volume was completed in 1842, and 1847 wrote a picture book without pictures.

From 1840 to 1857, Andersen traveled to Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Asia Minor and Africa, and wrote many travel notes during his travels, such as A Poet's Market (1842) and Scenery in Sweden. He met many famous writers and artists in Germany, France and other countries. I met Dickens in England from 65438 to 0847.

Andersen wrote three autobiographies: 1832 (1926), 1847 The True Story published in Germany, and a later biography (1855). Most of his novels and fairy tales are autobiographical. For example, the impromptu poet Ault (1836) is just a violinist (1837) and two baroness (1848), to be or not to be (1857), while in his works, such as A Dream under the Willow,

1843, Andersen met the Swedish female singer Yan Ni Linde. Sincere friendship has become an inspiring force in his creation. But he is not satisfied with his personal life. He has never been married. His closest friends in his later years were Henrik and melcher. 1875 On August 4th, Andersen died in his mansion in melcher, Copenhagen. The fairy tale master worked tirelessly all his life and dedicated his genius and life to the "future generation". Until three years before his death, * * * wrote 168 fairy tales and stories. His works have been translated into more than 80 languages.

Andersen's course

1805 In April, a baby was born in a bed made of coffin boards. He cried loudly, as if to protest against God's demotion of angels to earth. The priest comforted the frightened mother and said, "The louder you cry when you are young, the more beautiful your singing will be when you grow up." Sure enough, many years later, this day sang to the whole world with the voice of a nightingale. Even Santa Claus won't be more famous than him. His name is hans christian andersen.

Andersen's father was a poor shoemaker in odense. He has read a lot of books, homesickness and romance, but these are nothing to be thankful for. His wife is a simple woman-not beautiful, but hardworking and easy to believe in everything, including God.

This spring, the stork flew again, and the gooseberry tree in the yard grew new leaves. Little Andersen knew he was six years old. Pretending to be serious, he went to his father's side and pointed out how to clean up the storks in the old nest. When he heard that after summer, the weak young storks would be pecked to death because they could not fly to Egypt for the winter, he became sad: "Let them come to our attic, and I will definitely give them something to eat in winter."

Odense is a closed town, where people believe in God and witches. Many mysterious legends ripple in the air. The grandmothers in the spinning room sometimes tell the strange stories in The Arabian Nights to the little Andersen who came to play, enriching this originally dreamy brain. How strange the little guy is: many people will sigh and feel scared after hearing these terrible stories, but then they seem to be fine. For him, everything he heard was full of bright magic colors, as if it were true. Sometimes, he will be frightened by the imaginary elves in the forest and run home out of his wits. Years later, these ancient legends and childhood fantasies became the source of his creation.

The mother is very sympathetic to her weak only son. Six-year-old Andersen was sent to the young Kathy to study in order to escape the physical abuse of his grumpy old aunt at school, and became the youngest student. This teacher, who is respected for her fairness and gentleness, likes her quiet new classmates who like girls very much. He often walks around the campus holding his hand between classes, and shouts at frolicking students from time to time. "Be quiet, naughty children, don't push the child over."

Andersen often peeks at Sarah, the only girl in school. He imagined her as a princess in a fairy tale, eager to get close to the little girl with black eyes. Once, they went home together. In fact, his home has already passed, but he didn't say a word. Sarah, who was also born in poverty, vowed to be a farm housekeeper in the future. Andersen opened his eyes wide: "How boring that is!" How can a princess make decisions? "When I grow up, I will take you to my castle." He told the girl that his family used to be a branch of the nobility, but for some reason ... one day ... Sarah smiled, and the little guy must be crazy. The next day, Ollie, the miller's son, grabbed Andersen's hair and shouted, "Hello, Duke! Where is your beautiful castle? " The people around you burst into laughter.

Andersen's love suddenly retreated. But in his fantasy, he let himself save Sarah from the fire and accepted her apology. He even forgave Ole for bullying and mocking him. When the urchin was punished for standing on the table, little Andersen put himself in the position of imagining Ole's humiliating situation, so that he cried before the punished person cried and begged the teacher to forgive his "hostile actor". After this incident, the son of the workshop owner became the patron saint of little Andersen.

Time flies and Andersen is very happy at school. However, the difficult times closed the school and he had to go home. The puppet made by his father brought great satisfaction to his son. He sewed beautiful clothes for young people and let the puppet give full play to his fantasy on the "stage".

Soon, something better came into his life-he read william shakespeare's works, and the magical and magnificent plot deeply attracted him. Soon, he can recite the whole paragraph of King Lear; His puppets are also immersed in the ocean of william shakespeare's passion.

He began to want to make up a play by himself-he told the puppet a few words of German that his father taught him. Listen, "Besson!" How loud this word is, but you can't imagine it anyway. The puppet's favorite word actually means "broom".

18 13 years, Napoléon Bonaparte launched a war, and the shoemaker was pushed to the battlefield by the embarrassed family and the desire for adventure. Two years later, he returned home and never recovered. When the snow was falling, the ice girl in little Andersen's fantasy took away his father, leaving his helpless wife and children and biting cold.

After my father died, my mother's only way to make a living was to wash clothes for others every day. In the cold winter, the temperature of the river was unimaginable, so she had to drink a few drinks to drive away the cold. In the eyes of decent people, how rude this is! Bitter rumors are endless, and people in the city are whispering-"The shoemaker's wife Maria is a woman who is addicted to alcohol!" "Andersen felt infinite humiliation for his mother. Many years later, in the fairy tale "She is a Waste", he expressed his deep indignation.

Maria wanted to support her family independently, but the gossip in the town laughed at her son's idleness, so the mother had to reluctantly send her thin and shy son to the factory for child labor. Andersen, 1 1 years old, was dizzy by heavy work, but his singing saved him. He sang during the interval. The workers will never let him work again. As long as his crisp and loud singing can break the dullness of the construction site, what else do you ask this little guy to do? Little Andersen was very satisfied, because he always liked to perform in public, and he even played Macbeth in william shakespeare's plays alone.

A worker said to him, "Why don't you become an actor?"

Yes, that's perfect for him. If you can't direct fate, wouldn't it be nice to perform on the stage? What a great idea! So, when Andersen was confirmed at the age of 14, he showed amazing stubbornness about his mother's plan to arrange him as a tailor apprentice-"No, mom, I want to be an actor."

Although Andersen promised his mother that he would become famous, he begged and cried, but her mother never gave in. However, the fortune-telling witch helped him; "The flower of children's happiness is not here, we have to leave here and look far away!"

Carrying 30 silver coins and his beloved puppet, young Andersen looked back to his hometown in a carriage. He once wrote this sentence: "When I become great, I must sing praises to odense. Who knows, will I become a miracle of this noble city? At that time, in some geography books, under the name of odense, there would be such a line: A lanky Danish poet Andersen was born here! "

This is an accurate prediction. However, at this time, on September 6th, 2009, 18 14-year-old boy, with a schoolbag in his hand, looked at Copenhagen in front of him, but his hometown seemed out of reach. This huge and strange city made him feel small and lonely. But he immediately dried his tears and told himself that now is not the time to cry, to act, to act with confidence. This boy from a small town, like Aladdin, a poor boy in The Arabian Nights, began to fight for his magic lamp.

He painstakingly asked for a letter of introduction from the famous ballerina Madame Schell, but it didn't achieve the effect of being an apprentice, so he went to see Holstein, the manager of the Royal Theatre, and asked to be an actor. The manager looked at the child as thin as a stork and said, you are too thin, and you will be booed off the stage by the audience. Still not disappointed, the teenager suggested, "This is easy to handle. As long as you give me 100 yuan a month's salary, I will soon get fat. " The manager was angry-if the poor boy was either an idiot or having fun, he immediately issued an eviction order, and frustrated Andersen had to leave.

The dance school didn't enroll students until May, and Andersen had little money left. Introduced by an acquaintance, he worked as a coolie for a few days, and had to leave the workshop angrily because the local accent was regarded as a joke. Wandering in the street, he was at a loss. It suddenly occurred to him that he saw in the newspaper that the Italian singer Professor Siboni was performing in Copenhagen and opened a singing school, so he broke into the professor's home at the wedding. Curious guests were attracted by the young man who struggled alone in Copenhagen. More importantly, his singing shows a heart that loves the muse. Everyone donated money in succession, and Andersen finally got his wish and entered the singing school in Siboni.

However, luck does not always follow a person. Although Andersen was diligent, a serious illness damaged his voice and there was no hope of learning vocal music. The next setback made him find that he also lacked the talent for dancing and acting. He finally realized that he didn't belong on the stage.

After four years' struggle away from home, Andersen deeply felt this broader society full of joys and sorrows. At school, he read Shakespeare, Goethe and other Danish classics, and deeply realized the charm of writing. He suddenly knew clearly what he wanted to pursue-literature. As long as you have indomitable courage and a sincere and susceptible heart, you will surely climb the peak of literature.

1822, several critics read a play called Afsol, which was sent by a bold young man. The script has irregular rhythm and many grammatical mistakes-of course, the author's own lack of self-cultivation is obvious. But wait a minute, there are many sparks flashing really and vividly. Maybe this humble little guy can bring something clear to the drama world. So hans andersen, the author of the play, was sent to a Latin school for further study, and Mr. Gu Lin, a national consultant, applied for a royal fee to pay for him.

/kloc-Andersen, 0/7 years old, is tall and thin. It is not a pleasant thing for him to sit in the junior classroom and have classes with the children. The children laughed at him as a hillbilly because he didn't know the manners of the upper class at all. In their eyes, he is an unwelcome "ugly duckling"; At the same time, how boring those complicated Latin modifiers are: an empty language has no soul even if it is artificially modified, and he must recite it!

However, after the storm, he finally passed the graduation exam at 1828. Moreover, he has read many works of poets and writers in recent years, such as Byron, Heine and Scott. They are real treasures!

At school, Andersen did not forget to write, and his poems Twilight and Dying Children were published in the magazine Writer Heidenborg, which was well received. 1829, Andersen's comedy Love on the nikolayev Tower premiered. Listening to the applause of the audience, the young playwright was in tears. More than ten years ago, he was sharply despised and denied in the same theater. Today, he finally succeeded and was recognized and cheered by the public.

"Travel is life", Andersen said. From 183 1, Andersen began his first overseas roaming. Throughout his life, he traveled all over Europe with an umbrella, a crutch and simple luggage, and successively completed works such as A Roaming in Amag Island, Fantasy Sketch and Travel Silhouette. Starting from 1835, he was appointed by.

Andersen is a poet, playwright and travel writer. He is versatile and can cut paper well. In the museum to commemorate him, there are all kinds of patterns he cut, dancers hanging on the Christmas tree, all kinds of flowers and animals, and even the gate emblem on the gate, which is also a paper-cut of his head.

But fairy tales are the crown of all Andersen's creations. 1835, Andersen wrote to his girlfriend and said, "I want to create for the next generation." From his childhood experience, Andersen deeply realized the loneliness and pain of poor children's lives. He believes that in the field of poetry, nothing can be infinitely inclusive like fairy tales. Fairy tales will give children some happiness, hope and lessons, right? He began to create with all his feelings and thoughts.

1835, Andersen's first collection of fairy tales was published, which contains four fairy tales: Light Box, Little Klaus and Big Klaus, Princess on Wandou and Little Flower. These fairy tales come from Andersen's own life experience. "They are hidden in my mind like seeds. A trickle, a beam of sunshine or a drop of bitter wine can make them break through the ground. "

Starting this year, children will hear a new fairy tale every Christmas. He wrote for 43 years until the end of his life when he created 168 works. Poetic language and tortuous stories made his fairy tales the most widely read books in the world before his death. The Ugly Duckling, The Soldier, The Wild Swan, The Nightingale ... He endowed everything with fresh souls and made them sing. He dedicated them to everyone-the children were fascinated by this strange and touching story; Adults wander between his profound philosophy of life.

Andersen's fairy tales are not only full of fantasy sparks, but also the writer who grew up from suffering has deep sympathy for the working people and those children who live in pain. In The Little Match Girl, the little girl who hasn't sold a match all day curled up in the corner and lit a match. In the dim light, she imagined the joy of Christmas Eve: the roast goose with a white tablecloth and a knife and fork staggered in the heat ... but the illusion soon passed. On the morning of New Year's Day, people found her frozen to death in the street. No one knows how many of the same children go barefoot on winter nights. Andersen could not solve this profound social problem, so he had to place his hopes in heaven with deep sorrow.

Andersen wrote the longest fairy tale Lucky Bell in his later years, which is autobiographical. Bell, the hero of fairy tales, has been pursuing the ultimate beauty and artistic realm full of beauty all his life. When he succeeded, when the audience cheered for him, when his beloved girl threw a bouquet at him, "just like when Sophocles participated in the competition in Olympia, just like when Mr. Dova listened to the symphony in the theater ... the arterial pipe in his heart burst." Like lightning, his days here are over-in the joy of the world, after completing his mission to the world, there is no pain. He is luckier than thousands of people! " This is Andersen's own life pursuit.

Andersen is not beautiful, nor is he a noble family. He has a deep sense of inferiority in front of women. When he was studying, he lived in Gu Lin's home. Louisa Gu Lin, the daughter of Mr. Gu Lin, is gentle and beautiful. She has a deep literary accomplishment and goes deep into the hearts of young people. He loved her every move and smiled. In view of the failure of communication with women in the past few times, Andersen no longer wants people to know the love contained in his heart, even the slightest bit. But passionate and sincere feelings cannot be sealed. It blooms in the moist atmosphere of fairy tales and condenses into the bleak and beautiful daughter of the sea.

In fairy tales, the beautiful, noble and wise prince is the embodiment of Louisa; And Andersen is his daughter, looking at the sea from a distance. The beautiful little mermaid is naive, kind and selfless, and her rich love is so tenacious and pure. She pursues the most precious thing in life-the soul at all costs. This is also Andersen's artistic pursuit-eternity, sincerity and human soul.

"Andersen Trilogy"

The first issue of Andersen (1835 ~1844);

A Story for Children —— Romanticism with a Strong Local Flavor After the publication of Andersen's first fairy tale, the romantic movement headed by the poet Orrens Rigg (1779 ~ 1850) is going on in Denmark. Andersen was different from the romantics at that time. His imaginative and lively style is not flashy at all, but full of strong local flavor. Representative works of this issue: Thumbelina, The King's New Clothes and The Little Mermaid.

Thumbelina (1836) "Farewell, beautiful bird!" She said. "Farewell! In summer, when all the trees turn green and the sun shines warmly on us, will you sing beautiful songs? I want to thank you for this! So she put her head on the bird's chest. She was frightened at once, because there seemed to be something beating inside him ... "The king's new clothes" (1837) "But he didn't wear anything! "..... The emperor trembled a little, because he seemed to think that what the people said was right. But he thought to himself, "I must finish this parade." So he assumed a more proud look, and his ministers followed him, dragging a non-existent back skirt in their hands. Daughter of the sea (1837) Now the sun rises from the sea. The sun shone softly and warmly on the cold foam, and the little mermaid didn't feel extinct. She saw the bright sun, and countless transparent and beautiful creatures flew over her head at the same time. Through them, it can see the white sails on the ship and the colorful clouds in the sky. Their voices are harmonious music. ...

Andersen's second phase (1845 ~1852);

New Fairy Tales —— Turning to harsh realism —— Andersen's works in this period turned from rich romanticism to harsh realism, calling themselves "new fairy tales", which not only attracted young readers, but also attracted adults —— and made them think deeply. Representative works of this issue: Little Match Girl, Mother's Story and Shadow.

Little match girl (1846) "Grandma!" The little girl cried. "ah! Please take me away! I know that as soon as this match goes out, you will disappear, and you will disappear like that warm stove, that beautiful roast duck and that happy Christmas tree! " So she quickly polished the rest of the whole string of matches, because she really wanted to keep her grandmother ... "Mother's Story" (1848) Every tree and flower has a name, and each flower represents a person's life; These people are still alive, some in China, some in Greenland and scattered all over the world. ..... but the sad mother bent down to listen to the heartbeat of the smallest plants. Among these countless flowers, she could hear the baby's heartbeat. Shadow (1846) "This is too much! The scholar said. " I can't accept it. I would never do such a thing. This is simply deceiving the princess and the people of the whole country. I want to tell everything-I am a person, you are a shadow, and you just dress like a person! ""absolutely no one will believe you! " The shadow said, please be smart, or I'll call the guards! 」

The third issue of Andersen (1852 ~1873);

The new story-the connotation is simplified to a simple "story". At this time, Andersen's novels directly describe real life. Although their writing still retains the characteristics of fairy tales and their fantasies are quite rich, their life experiences are deeper and their ideological horizons are broader. Sometimes prose poems are written in the form of fairy tales. Representative works of this period: The Story on the Dune, Tree Essence and Lucky Beauty.

The Story of Dune (1860) Everyone's childhood has a happy side, and the memory of this stage will always shine in life. ..... cobblestone patterns-red as coral, yellow as amber, white as a bird's egg, colorful, sea water handling, sea water polishing ... all these make eyes and mind happy and entertaining. Tree essence (1868) Let's take a trip. Go to the exhibition in Paris ... There are Egyptian palaces and caravan tours in the desert. There are Bedouins from the sun country, riding camels, and Russian stables with beautiful horses on the grassland. ..... I had to walk into the living crowd. Jump in the crowd, fly like a bird, observe, experience and be a real person. Lucky Belle (1870) has a quartet every week. The music poems of Beethoven and Mozart are in the ear, soul and mind. Belle really hasn't heard wonderful music for a long time. He felt as if a fiery kiss had penetrated his spine and all his nerves. His eyes are moist. ...

Hans christian andersen (1805 ~ 1875) is a Danish writer. 1805 was born on April 2nd, 2005 in the slum area of odense, Fuen Island. His father is a poor shoemaker. My mother is a laundryman and remarried soon. Andersen was tortured by poverty since he was a child. He worked as an apprentice in several shops, then as a supporting actor in the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, and was fired because of the damp voice. From then on, I began to learn to write. 1827 published my first poem "Dying Children", and 1829 entered the University of Copenhagen. His first important works, 1828 and 1829 from the Hollmen Canal to the eastern corner of Amir Island, were published in 1829. The publication of this travel book made Andersen get the initial recognition from the society. After that, he continued to engage in drama creation. 1833, he went to Italy and wrote a poetic drama "Gretel and the Mermaid" and a novel "Impromptu Poet" set in Italy (1835). Shortly after the novel was published, it was translated into German and English, marking the beginning of the author's international reputation. From 1840 to 1857, Andersen traveled to Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Asia Minor and Africa, and wrote many travel notes during his travels. He met many famous writers and artists in Germany, France and other parliaments, and Dickens from 1847 in England. He never married. 1875 died in melcher mansion in Copenhagen on August 4th. This fairy tale master has written more than 160 fairy tales and stories in his life. His works have been translated into more than 80 languages. Andersen's fairy tales are rich in imagination, profound in thought, poetic and fascinating, which embody the democratic tradition and realistic tendency in Danish literature, such as The Little Match Girl, The Ugly Duckling, The Gatekeeper's Son and so on. It not only truly describes the miserable life of the poor, but also permeates romantic emotions and fantasies. His other works include The Daughter of the Sea, The Emperor's New Clothes, Alice in Wonderland, The Nightingale and dairy queen. As far as language style is concerned, Andersen is a very creative writer. In his works, he used the daily spoken language of the lower class people in Denmark and the structure of folk stories. The language is vivid, natural, fluent and beautiful, full of strong local flavor. Andersen's works were introduced to China long ago, and New Youth magazine published a translation of The Little Match Girl translated by Zhou Zuoren in 19 19. From 65438 to 0942, Beijing Xinchao Society published the Travel Guide translated by Lin Lan and Zhang Jinfen. Since then, the Commercial Press, Zhonghua Book Company and Ming Kai Bookstore have successively published translations of Andersen's fairy tales, biographies of Andersen and comments on his works. Translators include Zheng Zhenduo, Mao Dun, Zhao and Gu. But before liberation, all the translations were from English, Japanese or other national languages. After liberation, Ye Junjian, a famous writer and translator, made a systematic study of Andersen's original works and directly translated all Andersen's fairy tales from Danish into Chinese. People's Literature Publishing House published Ye Junjian's Selected Fairy Tales on 1955, 1958 and 1978 for many times. 1In August, 988, Ye Junjian was awarded the Danish Flag Medal by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark in recognition of his lifelong translation of Andersen's works and the translation of all the works of this Danish fairy tale writer into Chinese.
