Andersen's fairy tales - an integral part of the children's world, the children's universe of the New Age. Folklore fairy tales, like the tales of Charles Perrault and the Grimm brothers, are old, kind, terrible, similar to a dense forest with light clearings. And Andersen's fairy tales are the world of a toy town built from children's multi -colored cubes. Apparently, such a world needs a child on the way to the undermined world of life.

Hans Christian Andersen himself lived a completely fabulous life, although he called the book about her “The Tale of My Life”. And to those who have not read this book and do not know the biography of the author, it may seem that the life of Andersen was a fairy tale about the son of a poor laundry, who became, thanks to talent, a famous writer. She seemed to be Andersen to himself, such he wanted to imagine her both to himself and others.

In fact, it was a difficult, unnatural life full of humiliation and self -deception, and its result was 50 volumes of works forgotten immediately after the death of the author. And there was also a collection of fairy tales. And, of course, the most important of them is “The Tale of the Ugly Duckling”. This duckling was not at all like the rest; He was considered failed and wanted to redo, the poor thing was pecking, pushed, pushed, showered with ridicule, everyone drove and called the prisoners. And he, in fact, the prodigy, turned around and awkwardly bowed, as he knew how to, trying to please and at least somehow earn condescending and at least to please, but instead he only got down under his feet, overturned his solers with milk, fell into a tub from oil, and from there to a barrel of flour. The poor duckling, how much he had to endure, almost as much as the author himself. The duckling became a swan, because the fairy tale should have a happy ending, for that she is a fairy tale and that is her purpose and meaning - to inspire hope, even a shadow of hope... Andersen's best fairy tales are about that. Thumbelina hopes are performed: happily avoiding life in the hole of Mole, she flies into the country of flowers and light, where a beautiful prince awaits her. Having overcome all the difficulties, Gerda from the “snow queen” finds his happiness, which means that he will be happy and returned to her from ice captivity, freed from the fragment of the crooked mirror Kai.. How was his life difficult and unnatural, but which of the Danes are known in the world? Hamlet, Prince of Danish, famous for the tragic story of Shakespeare, and Hans Christian Andersen thanks to his tales, in the best of which the most important hope of everyone, even the most restless person is hope for happiness.
