Download or read book The Complete Fairy Tales and Stories written by Hans Christian Andersen and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-01-26 with total page 1122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive collection of work from Hans Christian Andersen—one of the immortals of world literature—not only includes his own notes to his stories but is the only version available in trade paperback that presents Andersen's fairy tales exactly as he collected them in the original Danish edition of 1874. Recognizing the literary merit of Andersen's own simple colloquial language, which Victorian translators and their imitators very often altered to sentimentalize or vulgarize, translator Erik Haugaard has remained faithful to the original text. The fairy tales Hans Christian Andersen wrote, such as "The Snow Queen," "The Ugly Duckling," "The Red Shoes," and "The Nightingale," are remarkable for their sense of fantasy, power of description, and acute sensitivity, and they are like no others written before or since. Unlike the Brothers Grimm, who collected and retold folklore, Andersen adopted the most ancient literary forms of the fairy tale and the folktale and distilled them into a genre that was uniquely his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Danish Fairy Tales There are, naturally, these stock features. But there is something rarer that stamps these tales with an originality that seems to individualize them. This quality, may, perhaps, be found in the tender ness and poetic atmosphere of the Green Knight; in the naivete of Peter Ox and the pessimistic moralizing of Good Deeds; in the humorous expres sion of the very human satisfaction of outwitting another, in The Treasure; as well as in the charm of The Pleiades, with its quaint naming, or rather, no-naming of the sons, and with its beautiful ending. One may even imagine here a happy linking of their fairyland wonders with those of our own day. For the ship that can go over land and sea, that can propel itself, - does it not suggest our modern wonder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very best of traditional Danish folklore comes alive for the present-day reader in this classic collection originally compiled by specialist scholar Svend Grundtvig. The tales selected for this volume were designed to represent all aspects of the unique cultural heritage of the Danish people. Grundtvig issued an appeal in 1854 for his countrymen to collect and submit the stories, which, until then, were largely oral, handed down from generation to generation. Hundreds of stories were duly compiled, and Gruntvig's final collection was published in 1876-and became an instant hit. While stories such as "Olaf the Mermaid's Son," "The Raven of Salby," and "Prince Irregang and Maid Miseri" stamped the tales as solidly Danish in origin, other stories such as "The Most Obedient Wife," "Virtue Its Own Reward," and "The School of Black Art," contain moral lessons which could be universal, but which are still unique to this small northern European nation. The stories can be read for delight, or as part of serious scholarly research, and are meant to be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
