Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"'This biography is the first to investigate its subject curious sexual proclivities. That might seem mere prurience, but the topic is deeply entwined with Andersen's art... For readers who have known him only through the fairy stories, it helps to make this new biography unusually illuminating' John Carey, Sunday Times lead review 'In this revelatory biography, Jens Andersen shades in the darker areas, from the family scandals and social humiliations at the start of his life to the egotism, eccentricity, malice and morphine addiction at its end... This biography pays tribute to Andersen's originality' Sunday Telegraph"

Reseña del editor:

Hans Christian Andersen was a storyteller for children of all ages, but he was also a critical journalist with great enthusiasm for science; an existential thinker; a travel writer; a passionate novelist; a paper cut-out artist; a neurotic hypochondriac; and a man with intense, but frustrated sexual desires. Andersen propagated myths about his life, but this new biography uncovers much about this man that has never been revealed before. This startling and immensely readable, definitive new biography, by Danish scholar Jens Andersen, is essential to a full understanding of the man whose writing has influenced the lives of readers young and old for centuries.
