Originally published in 1918, it reflects the nationalistic concerns of the period. ... |

A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children.

The stories here range from exuberant early works such as "The Tinderbox" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" through poignant masterpieces such as "The Little Mermaid", "The Little Match Girl" and "The Ugly Duckling", to more subversive later ... |

"Тези стихотворения са ми особено скъпи. Това са моите ученически и студентски стихове. Бил съм 15, а после 21 годишен. Влюбен. Наивен. Непорочен. Качвах се на велосипеда след училище и отивах в морската градина. Сядах на пейката до паметника на Пушкин. Имах една тетрадка "широки редове" и пишех с молив. Химикалката още не беше открита. Бях луд по Лермонтов, Верхарн и Димитър Бояджиев. Току що бях открил Лилиев и Багряна, най-старите антикварни издания. И разбира се - прокълнатите поети: Франсоа Вийон, Артур Рембо...
