Character History
The writer Hans Christian Andersen did not position himself with a children's storyter, because in his stories there are often philosophical motives. Therefore, the genius of literature stated that he writes not for small boys and girls, but for adults.
The manuscript of this talented person knows almost all over the world, after all, it was he who came up with the "ugly duckling", "Ole Lukee", "Mermaid", "wild swans" and "Princess on the pea". And the fairy tale about the cold heart is a government, about the brave Gerde and about Kate, who turned out in the prehensiles of the Snow Queen, became the longest product of the writer.
History of creation
The work appeared in the book shops in the winter of December 21, 1844 and entered the collection "New Tales. Tom first. " Anderson's Creation has become popular with book pages, but few people knew that the writer invested in the plot of the bad motives arising from his personal experience. As the biographers of the storyboard say, Andersen never knows love in his life: he did not make an offer to the hand and the heart of the lady, and did not even consist in a romantic relationship.
A spark broke out in the heart of the genius of literature when he was in love with the opera singer of Female Lind, who took gifts and caressing the writer, but gave the heart to another person. The feminine was the younger than his ridder for 14 years, but still appealed to him "Brantz" or "Child." Andersen understood that the relationship, like a brother and sister, is still better than nothing.
This woman who gave Andersen unrequited love, and became the prototype of the cold and worn snow queen. The singer received firefight recognition from Hans, but did not answer the letter of a loved one who did not find a letter of the writer.
When Linda woke up with a young pianist Otto Golshmidt, the author of the fairy tales had enough courage to see the opponent in the eyes. After this case, Andersen no longer met with a fellow, but he felt Kai, associating the city of Copenhagen, where there was a malfunctive acquaintance with the artist, with the infinite cold kingdom.
The Tale of the Snow Queen is popular with adults and small readers. But the guys who grew up in the Soviet Union, saw a reduced manuscript, because in the story of Andersen there are religious motives: due to the policy of those years, the mention of biblical plots was considered unacceptable.
Therefore, Soviet editors were removed from the story of the scene, where Gernd reads the prayer "Our Father" to escape from the ice winds. Also in the original fairy tale there was a mention of Jesus Christ. Some researchers believe that, with the help of the Snow Queen and Gerd, Andersen wanted to show the struggle of science and the Christian confession.
It is noteworthy that, despite the censorship, the fairy tale found the crowd of fans, and the famous directors borrowed a plot to create films who pleased with the cinema by actors and their roles. In the same name, 1966, the images were given to Elena Proclovaya and Vyacheslav Tsype, and Nina Gomiashvili and Jan Pubusevsky reincarnated in the main heroes in the head of the Snow Queen (1986).
