Andersen biography of the inch

Quotes the story of the character once in Denmark from a blossom of flower bud was a girl no more than a human finger. In the house of her mother, the inches did not live even for two days - soon the heroine had to go on an incredible journey in which an acquaintance with the good and evil of this world occurred. Whoever wrote a fairy tale about a tiny girl knows everyone from kindergarten age.

The magical story of Hans Christian Andersen is not only read to the kids, but also put performances with children. The story of the creation of the Tale of Thumbelina came to the Danish children in the year as part of the collection “Tales told for children”. When exactly the magical story of the journey of a little girl was written, it remained a mystery. Andersen did not give new works to print for a long time - he put off for editing.

Hans Christian Andersen, when creating a character, the author learned inspiration from the legends of a little people, and even the character of Charles Perrail-S-firing was in a wake of popularity. But the inch can boast of a real prototype - they became Henrietta Wulf, the daughter of the Danish translator Shakespeare and Byron. A low hunchbacked woman with an angelic character was friends with Hans.

The prototype was also found at Mole: they say that the storyteller wrote off this character from a strict school teacher. Henrietta Wulf - the prototype of the Thumbeline, the published work did not cause admiration among the critics. The writers remained dissatisfied with the simplicity of the language of presentation and the absence of moralizing, because in those days instructive notes and pronounced morality were appreciated.

But readers enthusiastically accepted Andersen's new fairy tale, and this is more important than assessments of literature experts. For ten years, the Thumbelina was read exclusively by residents of their native country. Only in the year, the adventures of a little girl managed to get abroad. They were translated into English, and then into other European languages.

Thumbelina in a flower and everywhere the character was called differently. For example, in the homeland, the heroine of the fairy tales darkened Tommelis, which means “a fox the size of an inch”, in England and France - Tambelin and Puselin, and both are translated as a thumb on the arm, and in the Czech Republic it is simply a small man. The character came to Russian readers, as always, with a delay.

At the end of the 19th century, the spouses Peter and Anna Gansen took up the adaptation of the fairy tales of the Danish writer, carefully preserving the elements of the originals. In the first translation, the girl was called Lizov-S-Vark, she turned into an inch later. The biography and plot is one middle -aged lonely woman dreamed of children, but fate deprived her of the joy of motherhood.

The fairy volunteered to help, handing the barley grain, from which a beautiful flower grew. In the core of the bud was a little girl tall no more than a human finger. The woman made her daughter a lullaby for a walnut shell, but happiness was short -lived - once a with an inch noted the toad and decided to steal it to marry her son. Thumbelina and a toad, the road to the toad house ran through the lake, along which the unfortunate girl was taken on a sheet of jugs.

Fish, regretting the slave, gnawed at the stalk of water lilies, and the moth rushed away the impromptu boat. However, along the path of Thumbelina, she was captured again, this time to the May beetle. On the tree, the brothers of the kidnapper did not appreciate the appearance of the find - the girl seemed very ugly to the beetles, and they decided to throw the heroine in the forest to the mercy of fate.

Thumbelina and beetles warm spring and summer flew rapidly. With the advent of the first autumn frosts, the Thumbelina went in search of shelter and came to the mink of the field mouse. The hostess warmly sheltered the guest, however, forcing him to work. And then at all, looking closely, I saw in the girl an excellent bride for the old and blind, but wealthy neighbor-shirt.

Thumbelina and mole, bypassing the underground possessions of the groom, Thumbelina stumbled upon a lifeless swallow. It turned out that the bird did not die, but simply lost strength from frost.

From the care and departure of the girl, the swallow came to life and on the day of marriage with a mole took the savior to the edges, where it is always sunny and warm. Here, a tiny beauty met the prince of elves - the same height and pleasant appearance. The prince offered the traveler hand and heart. So the Thumbeline became a queen in the country of elves and gained a new name - Maya.

Thumbelina and Prince of Elves The main idea that the author put into the work concerns the search for mission and his place in life. In this, a fairy tale has another literary work of Hans Christian Andersen - “The Ugly Duckling”. The characterization of the heroes is simple and understandable. In each, the writer put certain features and vices, and the whole world with motley inhabitants turned out.

The toad becomes the personification of greed and envy, the beetles convey the idea of ​​the insignificance of public opinion - each has their own concept of beauty. Pisces have cunning and ingenuity, a stupid, but kind mouse - a symbol of frugality and puritanism, and the mole is rich, but stingy.Thumbelina flies on a swallow fragile and delicate inch showed courage, patience, steadily transferred the tests that fell to her lot.

But among readers there are those who sees a limp creature in the main character: the girl is not able to influence events, her only independent act is the salvation of a swallow, for which a reward was received in the form of a serene and happy life. However, according to researchers, during the creation of a fairy tale a passive type of behavior, the role of a victim of circumstances for women was considered natural.

The adaptation of the fairy tale of Andersen poets and writers redrawed countless times, the wanderings of the young beauty in the light are even found in verses. And, of course, the main characters of the magical adventure settled in dozens of cartoons, and filmmakers gave the world four television films. Thumbelina in the Soviet cartoon, Russian cinema distinguished himself with two paintings that became legends.

This is the cartoon "Thumbeline", created by Leonid Amalric in the year. Even Georgy Vitsin worked on the voice acting of the picture, whose voice spoke in a grasshopper. The cartoon scenario in some moments differs from the classical fairy tale: the inch at the end of the story did not get a new name, the mole acquired numerous friends, and a new character appeared - cancer that helps fish save the girl from the toad.

Tatyana Vasilishina, in the role of Thumbelina, was a curious interpretation of Andersen's creation by the director Leonid Nechaev - the musical film of the year “Thumbeline” was placed in the film festivals. The title role was Tatyana Vasilishina. Thumbelina in the cartoon of Don Blut, the authors of the cartoons gave free rein fantasy. So, in the year, Don Blut took off the cartoon in which he deviated from the original plot.

For example, a disgusting toad nevertheless betrayed an inch to marry her son and forced the girl to make a career of pop star career, because show business is a profitable thing. Interesting facts of Thumbelina, along with other heroes of fairy tales, appear on the marriage of Shrek and Fiona in the cartoon "Shrek-2". The monument to the Thumbelina image of a tiny girl served as inspiration for sculptors.

The main character of Andersen’s fairy tale in Denya Denmark is a sculpture depicting the moment when an incho appears in a flower. Outside of Denmark, there are also bronze initiations to the heroine of magical history. So, in the year, the sculpture of Thumbelines adorned the central alley of the park in Sochi. Charlotte Garside in England lives a girl who was nicknamed with an inch.

Charlotte Garside entered the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest girl in the world. She was born with a rare disease - primordial nanism. This form of lowness is also characterized by a delay in mental development. At the age of five, the child’s growth was 68 cm, while Charlotte possessed the intelligence of a three -year -old baby. Quotes of the Soviet cartoon "Thumbeline" of the year of release is full of funny phrases.

It is not surprising that shortly after the release of the picture on the screens, they turned into winged expressions: “- Pressure over me, hostess! Do not marry me for a mole! It’s better for our neighbor your husband cannot be found! Blind, rich - treasure, not a husband! It is a little per day. And a year? In the year of days. Half a grain per day - half a grain per year.

It turns out not so in a year and there is not enough, I don’t get married! Because besides me, nobody liked you! I wish you success! Well, they slept, now you can eat. ” From happiness do not die! How can you - with your artistic taste, and suddenly sink to such a squalor?! Ah, circle me, circle! It is only a pity that it is not green.
