The Snow Queen. Andersen G.Kh.

The new edition of the “Queen of the Queen” with the stunning illustrations of Christian Birmingham - without exaggeration, the most beautiful illustrated version of this fairy tale Andersen: the book has 35 illustrations, each of which is a real masterpiece, including 7 huge paintings for whole reversal. We took as a basis the best and most accurate, in our opinion, translation of the “snow queen” into Russian, made 120 years ago by the spouses Anna and Peter Gansen, processed and edited it, bringing it into line with the norms of the modern Russian language. Andersen was a deeply believing person, and all his tales are permeated with sincere faith in God. Andersen's tales published in the USSR were censored, removing any hints of Christian symbols, ideas and images. As a result, a lot in the fairy tales of Andersen remained incomprehensible, and sometimes their whole meaning changed dramatically. For example, Divine miracles, angels, prayers, psalms and all Christian symbols disappeared from the “Snow Queen”; Some other fragments of the fairy tale were subjected to significant reduction. In our translation, all these fragments and details are completely restored. “The Queen of the Queen” is one of Andersen’s best tales, a touching and bright story about selfless love that defeats evil, about faith and devotion, which even make the weakest person a persistent, decisive and brave in the face of hardships and heavy trials, a great reason to talk with the child with a child About eternal values, about the struggle of good and evil in the soul of each of us.
