I discovered only the man of business in Collin; his conversation was grave and in few words. I went away, without expecting any sympathy from this man; and yet it was precisely Collin who in all sincerity thought for my advantage, and who . . . Read More

Andersen's amiable and highly sensitive personality comes through clearly and almost painfully in this autobiography, and the entire section covering his childhood and early adolescence, including his incredibly brave journey from home, is completely engaging. I loved some of the little details, suc
super boring, even for me. super self-centered, not much about his fairytales or scandinavian literature.
His story as told by himself. He travelled well and net many interesting people
ایمان این مرد برایم جذاب و ستودنی بود، و مسئله ای که در خوانش این خود نوشت برایم جالب بود، آشنایی بیشتر با روحیات یک نویسنده بود بصورت خاص

And the other half that is needless explanations for things that don't m
An interesting insight into the life of the great author and social misfit. Hans Christian Andersen's biography helps to shed light on the inspiration for some of his fairy stories, as well as revealing his complicated and fragile personality. A useful companion for readers of his many works.
It's hard to believe you're reading a selfie here. It's more like you're in one of his stories. Beautifully written, I was completely absorbed first into 19th century Odense when HCA lived a beautiful childhood, and then through some of his travels.
I would love to re-read his stories, this time wit
