Andersen (1805— 1875) is a Danish writer. 1805 was born on April 2nd, 2005 in the slum of odense, Feiying Island. My father was a poor shoemaker who volunteered to serve against Napoleon's aggression and died in 18 16. My mother is a laundryman and remarried soon. Andersen was tortured by poverty since he was a child. He was an apprentice in several shops and had no formal education. When I was a teenager, I became interested in the stage and dreamed of becoming a singer, actor or playwright. 18 19 became a small role in the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. Later, I was fired because of the wet voice. From then on, I began to learn to write, but the script I wrote was completely unsuitable for performance and was not adopted by the theater. 1822 sponsored by drama director Jonas Colin, attended a grammar school in Lehrer. This year, he wrote a book, The Attempt of Youth, which was published under the pseudonym of William Christian Walter. This pen name includes the names of Shakespeare, Andersen himself and Scott. 1827 published his first poem "dying children", 1829 entered the university of Copenhagen to study. His first important works, 1828 and 1829 from the Hollmen Canal to the eastern corner of Amir Island, were published in 1829. This is a travel story with a good sense of humor, quite in the style of German writer Hoffman. The publication of this travel book made Andersen get the initial recognition from the society. After that, he continued to engage in drama creation. 183 1 year, he traveled to Germany and wrote travel notes on his way home. 1833, he went to Italy and wrote a poetic drama "Gretel and the Mermaid" and a novel "Impromptu Poet" set in Italy (1835).
