Features: Andersen's Illustrated Biography: During the years 1840-1875, he traveled to Europe, Asia Minor, and Africa, recording his experiences in travelogues. He rarely destroyed his writings, and his diaries and thousands of letters have been preserved to this day. This is the invaluable spiritual legacy he left to future generations. Chinese writers such as Zheng Zhenduo, Mao Dun, Zhao Jingshen, Gu Junzheng, and Ye Junjian have all translated works by Andersen. Among them, Ye Junjian's Selected Tales of Hans Christian Andersen is a direct translation from Danish. His stories often express an optimistic belief that good and beauty will ultimately prevail, but sometimes they are also pessimistic, allowing many of his stories to end in extreme sorrow and misfortune.
