Sobre o autor
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) stands as an iconic figure in the world of children’s literature, renowned for his contributions to the fairy tale genre. Born in Odense, Denmark, Andersen grew up with a passion for literature that eventually led him to Copenhagen, where he would seek a career as an actor and singer. Ultimately, he found his calling as a writer, captivating audiences with his poetic and often philosophically profound fairy tales. Andersen’s work, such as ‘The Ugly Duckling, ‘ ‘The Little Mermaid, ‘ and ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes, ‘ diverged from traditional folklore by imparting moral lessons and reflections on human nature, often woven with elements of autobiography and social commentary. His legacy is cemented in his magnum opus, ‘The Complete Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen’—an anthology that brings together over 156 stories, illustrating the prolific and varied tapestry of his imagination. His literary style combined the elegant simplicity of the oral storytelling tradition with the sophisticated undertones well-suited for adult readers. Andersen’s tales have transcended cultural barriers, being translated into over 125 languages, securing his place as a pillar of children’s literature and a master storyteller whose work continues to resonate with readers of all ages (Wullschlager, 2000; Zipes, 2005).
