hans christian andersen
The peripatetic king of fairy tales turns 200
Hans christian Andersen would be furious to know that the world remembers him best for a story about an ugly duckling. the intensely insecure Dane desired enduring fame but not as a children's author.
Born in 1805 in one of Denmark's poor est neighborhoods,Andersen rose to for tune and glory as a literary star.
้he conceived hos first international hit, the novel The Improvisatore, during a trip to Italy. later journeys though Europe, Turkey and Scandinavia inspired characters and plots in his novels, traval books,and plays.
Travel fueled Andersen's fame and sharpened his wit, but success never eased his restlessness or self-doubt. Unlucky in love and painfully aware of his modest roots, he never stopped feeling like an outsider.
he sought solace in travel, wandering the world well into his old age.Andersen died in 1875, wealthy but alone. his work endured, however, and today his fairy tales, including "The little Mermaid" (above), are read in nearly 150 languages, from Abkhazian to Zulu. If he were alive, Anderzine probably wouldn't be satisfied. but for millions of readers, he has become what he most desired: a poet of the ages. -Neil Shea
