J

"Andersen's Fairy Tales and Stories" is a collection of fairy tales created by Danish writer Andersen, which took nearly forty years to create. The fairy tales created by Andersen are treasures of world literature and are childhood books dedicated to everyone. Andersen received royal tribute during his lifetime, and his fairy tales were translated into more than 150 languages ​​and published around the world. Andersen's fairy tales are rich in fantasy, innocent conception and simple sense of humor, expressing themes that transcend age and nationality. As Zhou Zuoren commented: "We observe everything with the eyes of a child and write it with the pen of a poet. Therefore, it is beautiful and natural and can be called a masterpiece. There is no one before and no one after." Andersen's creation can be divided into three periods: early, middle and late. Early fairy tales are mostly full of beautiful fantasy and optimistic spirit, reflecting the characteristics of a combination of realism and romanticism. In the middle period of fairy tales, the fantasy component is weakened and the realistic component is relatively enhanced. In lashing out the ugliness and praising the good, it expresses the persistent pursuit of a better life and also reveals the melancholy of lack of confidence. Fairy tales in the late period are more face to reality than those in the middle period. They focus on describing the tragic fate of the people at the bottom and exposing the coldness, darkness and injustice of social life. The tone of the works is low. This complete collection was translated based on the 1992 commemorative edition of Danish Hans Lezzers Publishing House and consists of 157 stories.
