Krymplingen

by Hans Christian Andersen, Axel Norbeck (Translator)

Hans kunne fornemme sit eget varme blod i dig; men det tænkte han ikke på, han tænkte kun på katten og fuglen; ude af sengen kunne drengen jo ikke hjælpe sig, stå på benene kunne han ikke, gå endnu mindre. Det var, som om hans hjerte vendte sig inde i ham, da han så katten springe fra vinduet lige hen på dragkisten og støde til buret, så at det væltede.

En jul får Hans noget så unyttigt som en bog med eventyr af folkene på herregården, hvor han forældre tjener i haven. Men mystisk er det, den taler ligesom til de fattige forældres egen situation, når flere kendinge fra eventyrernes verden går parade gennem bogens fortællinger - og en dag viser julens magi sig i virkeligheden!

About the author

Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H.C. Andersen) was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories — called eventyr, or "fairy-tales" — express themes that transcend age and nationality.

Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Nightingale", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and many more. His stories have inspired plays, ballets, and both live-action and animated films.

Om en betydelsefull bok som förändrar en pojkes liv. Fin!

Fin historie.

[Johanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

1/4 i min novellix-kalender! Väldigt tydligt kristet motiv och gammalmodigt moralpläderande, men sen är det ju också H.C. Andersen.

Not quite enough zest in the storytelling. The matter-of-fact ness of the retelling never really gives a feeling of where the story is progressing or why we should be particularly attached to either the poor family, the rich family or the cripple in focus. The vignettes are nice, in particular the one regarding a man without sorrow or guilt. I should read more Anderssen and then return to this after i've familiarized myself with his style of writing.

Jag vet inte riktigt vad jag läste. Det kändes som en ganska mjäkig berättelse. Slutet kändes som ett antiklimax.

[Elina Purmonen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Det finaste i novellen var berättelsens betydelse för huvudpersonen!
