Hans Christian Andersen, the main storyteller of the world.
The founder of a literary fairy tale, the author of many famous fairy tales: “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Cinderella”, “Puss in Boots”, “Ugly Duckling”, “Thumbelina”, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier”, “Princess on the Pea”, “Wild Swans”, "The Snow Queen"…
At age 14, Hans travels to Copenhagen. When the mother asked why he was going to the capital, the young man answered: "To become famous." He will thus describe this journey over time: “But when in Nyborg? got on a ship and began to move away from my native island, I quickly felt my loneliness and worthlessness, I had no one whom I could rely on, no one but the Lord God. "
In 1844, Andersen wrote the phenomenal short story The Snow Queen, which brought him fame as a writer. Although during the Soviet times Christian verses were removed from the text, the “Snow Queen” is completely riddled with Christian motifs. In the original text, psalms about Jesus Christ help to save from the charms of Kayu and Gerda. And when Gerda and Kai return home, grandmother sits and reads the Gospel. The text even says which verse the grandmother reads; this is a well-known biblical text: “If you do not become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” And the children, hugging their grandmother, began to sing: "Roses are blooming - beauty, beauty, soon we will meet the baby Christ."On his grave is written: “The soul that God created in His image is immortal and cannot perish. Our life on earth is the seed of eternity. The body dies, but the soul cannot die. ”
