‎Contes Danois. + Nouveau Contes Danois. Traduits pour la premiere fois par MM. Ernest Grégoire & Louis Moland. Illustrés d'apres les dessins de M. Yan' Dargent. - [IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION-SET]‎

‎Paris, Garnier Frères, (ca. 1873-75). Bound in two very nice cont. almost uniform red hcalfs w. gilt geometrical ornamentations to backs and blindstamped (vol. 2 black) ornamentations to boards. All edges gilt. Excellent, clean and well-preserved set w. numerous beautiful illustrations. W. both half-titles and frontispieces.‎

‎Two first editions, both containing the first French translations of the present works by Hans Christian Andersen. With original handwritten and signed presentations in both volumes from the translator, Ernest Grégoire, for Robert Watt.Robert Watt (1837-94) was a leading figure in the Danish modernist breakthrough (1870-90) and a famous figure in Danish cultural life in the second half of the 19th century. In spite of the age difference, he became closely connected with Hans Christian Andersen, and it was he who accompagnied Andersen to the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867. He was also the one to encourage Andersen to have his fairy tales translated into and published in French, and he is the one who made this translation happen. Thus this particur presentation copy is of great interest.In his diaries from 1873 and 1874, Andersen fairly frequently writes about the preparation of this translation, about Watt and Gregoire. On the 31st of March (Vol. X, p. 54-55) he writes: ""Besøg af Watt der havde faaet Brev fra den franske Journalist Gregoire, der vilde oversætte og lade illustrere mine Eventyr, med Undtagelse af dem Soldi havde udgivet..."" [""Visit by Watt who had received a letter from the French journalist Gregoire, who wanted to translate my fairy tales and have them illustrated, except for the ones that Soldi had published..."" (own translation) ]. On several occations Andersen worries about the rights to the French translations, and he is not happy with the fact that Gregoire apparently claims them. On the 13th of April (Vol. X, p.64) he writes: ""-Hele Dagen Hoste og mit Nerveuse, Middag hos Eduard Collin, der skrev for mig en Skrivelse til Gregoire, efter min Opfattelse, og ikke som Watt havde givet mig til Underskrift. Strax paa Aftenen kom Watt og blev ilde stemt ved at jeg ikke vilde underskrive hans Skrivelse, sagde at MIN havde ikke Betydning for Loven i Paris, jeg forstod ikke hele hans Forklaring og da han vedblev kom jeg i saadan nerveus Stemning at jeg brast i Graad og sank om paa Sophaen."" [- The entire day cough and my nerves, dinner at Eduard Collin, who wrote for me a letter for Gregoire, according to my conception, and not like Watt had given me to sign. As soon as evening fell Watt came and became ill disposed because of me not wanting to sign his letter, said that MINE had no significance according to the law in Paris, I did not understand all of his explanation and when he kept on going I became so nervous that I broke down crying and collapsed on the couch."" (own translation) ].Robert Watt later (1886) became the director of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, where he, among many other things, installed the famous rollar coaster.‎

‎Rare first edition of this illustrated book that uses H. C. Andersen’s ""The Evil Prince"" as a model for an audacious plot that shows Hitler's megalomania and greed for power. Hans Christian Andersen’s 1840 tale, The Evil Prince, concerns a tyrant who, not satisfied with conquering neighboring countries, builds a spaceship and sets out to conquer God. In this version of the tale, published after the liberation of Denmark from Nazi occupation, Adolf Hitler assumes the title role and pursues the mad dream of world conquest, helped by Nazi storm-troopers and soldiers.‎

‎Digte. - [FIRST PRINTING OF ANDERSEN'S FIRST FAIRY TALE]‎

‎Kjöbenhavn (i.e. Copenhagen), 1830. Simple contemporary black half cloth. Internally only light scattered brownspotting. An excellent copy.‎

‎The rare first edition of the first published collection of Andersen's poetry - Andersen's third published book (at the age of 25) - containing, at the end, the first printing of any of his fairy tales, being also his very first fairy tale, ""Dødningen, et fyensk Folke-eventyr"" (i.e. ""The Ghost"" (also sometime ""The Spectre""), ""A Folk- Fairy Tale from Funen""). This is the first time that Andersen uses the term ""Eventyr"" (fairy tale), the term which came to denote the genre for which he received world-wide fame as one of the most important writers of all time. ""The Ghost"" was later rewritten and published for the second time in Andersen's first fairy tale collection, ""Eventyr fortalte for Børn"" (PMM 299), 1835, under the title ""The Travelling Companion"". As Andersen would later explain, his first fairy tale was based upon a folk tale from Funen he had heard as a child. This seminal publication lays the foundation for Andersen's activity as an author of fairy tales. This collection furthermore contains 46 poems, 20 of which are published here for the first time (the rest were published separately in various periodicals). BFN 51.‎

‎"ANDERSEN, H.C. (HANS CHRISTIAN).‎

‎Eventyr fortalte for Børn. (1.-3. Hefte) + Eventyr fortalte for Børn. Ny Samling (1.-3. Hefte). 2 Bind. [I.e. Fairy Tales Told for Children. 6 issues, divided into two volumes - all that was issued]. - [INAUGURANTING THE FAIRY TALE-GENRE]‎

‎Kjöbenhavn, 1837-1847. Bound in one nice contemporary half calf binding with blindstamped and gilt ornamentation to spine. Gilding vague, also the gilt title. Minor bumping to corners. Internally a bit of scattered brownspotting, but overall unusually nice, clean, and fresh. A truly excellent copy. See collation below.‎

‎A magnificent set - unusually nice and clean and bound together in a contemporary binding, which is almost never the case - of the first edition of this exceedingly rare collection of Andersen's earliest fairy tales. This legendary fairy tale-collection that created the fairy tale-genre and brought Andersen international fame, consists in six parts that together make up two volumes. As with most of the other few existing copies, the present set is a mixture of issues (though here, merely two of the parts are in second issue). ""With the passing of each year, Andersen's genious brought forth new ""wonder stories"", and the fame he had so desperately craved and striven for became a reality. Little did he know in the spring of 1835, when he all but had to beg his publisher to accept these remarkable tales, that one day they would make him immortal. And little did the critics, nearly all of whom advised him to give up his ""experiment"" and devote himself to his other writings, ever dream that they would live to see him gain world acclaim for these tales. For almost a hundred years now, generation after generation has been brought up on Andersen's stories. Take the English-speaking world, for instance. Since the first appearance of Andersen's Fairy Tales in London and New York, in 1846, over seven hundred different editions, including dozens of varied translations, illustrated by more than a hundred different artists, have been published in the United States alone. Indeed, Andersen's stories will live on as classics - as much part of our civilization as the two primary educational factors, reading and writing."" (Jean Hersholt, p. 27). Due to the fact that the six little pamphlets together, printed in different years, all have their own title-pages, half-titles, contents, etc. and that there were then also printed all of this for each volume of three (times two) together, the book binders almost always removed several of these ""extra"" leaves, as they seemed superfluous. It was never the intention of the publisher that the single half-titles, title-pages or tables of contents be preserved. However, due to the many different laves that were deemed ""superfluous"" or not, all existing sets of these two little volumes have their individual mix-up of half-titles, titles, and tables of contents. Thus, no copies are known to exist with all leaves present. ""During Andersen's lifetime 162 of his Fairy Tales were published, but the scarcest and most difficult to obtain are these six little pamphlets. We do not know exactly how many, or how few, copies were printed, but we do know that no copy with all the title pages and tables of contents has ever been offered for sale by any dealer or at any auction. To my knowledge, only five or six complete copies of the first printings (1835-1842) still exist. Even the second printing of the six pamphlets in their entirety (1842-1847) is exceedingly scarce and difficult to obtain."" (Jean Hersholt).Here follows a collation including mention of issues and lacunae: Vol. I: VIII pp. (joint title-page (dated 1837) for the three parts, contents-leaf for all three parts, and preface (""Til de ældre Læsere""). The joint half-title merely stating ""Eventyr for Børn"" has not been bound in.First Part: 61 (including the title-page), (3) (blank verso of p. 61 and the contents-leaf for part one) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. Second issue, 1842.Second Part: 76 (including half-title and title-page), 2 (contents-leaf for part two) pp. + 1 f. (blank). Second issue, 1844.Third Part: 60 (including half-title and title-page) pp., 2 (contents-leaf for part two) pp. + 1 f. (blank). First issue, 1837.Vol. II: 3 ff. (joint title-page, dedication-leaf (for Mrs. Heiberg), contents-leaf for all three parts). First Part: 58 (including title-page), (2) (contents-leaf for part one) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. First issue, 1838.Second Part: 53 (including title-page), (3) (verso of p. 53 and contents-leaf for part two) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. First issue, 1839.Third Part: 49 (including title-page), (3) (verso of p. 49 and contents-leaf for part three) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. First issue, 1842..This is one of the most complete copies we have ever seen, as the only leaves not withbound are some of the half-titles. Usually a lot more leaves have been left out by the binders, and it's even rare to find copies that have all title-pages. The separate contents-leaves are very rarely found preserved in copies that have the joint contents-leaves, and the blank leaves are almost never withbound. BFN: 266" Hersholt: 23 PMM: 299.‎

‎"ANDERSEN, H. C.‎

‎Fodreise fra Holmens Canal til Østpynten af Amager i Aarene 1828 og 1829. Andet Oplag. (Forøget af Forfatteren).‎

‎Kjøbenhavn, C. A. Reitzel, 1829. Bound in a contemporary slightly worn half calf with gilt spine. Some wear to hinges and capitals. Previous owner's signature to top of title page. Some brownspotting. Last leaf restored to inner margin.‎

‎The rare second issue of Hans Christian Andersen's debut novel, ""Journey on Foot"", here in the extremely scarce original printed wrappers. Andersen himself considered this book his debut and refers to it as ""my first publication"". It came to play a tremendous role in the development of his writing and constitutes one of his most important works. It is the first piece of Andersen that yields any success and the first work for which he gained any recognition.""It is a well-known fact that Hans Christian Andersen made his début as a writer three times during his youth. The first time he published a book was in 1822, when ""Youthful Attempts"" came out... He was 17 years old, penniless and in need for help, but the main part of the circulation ended up in the paper mill...The second time he made his début was in 1829, when he published ""Journey on Foot from Holmen's Canal to the Eastern Point of Amager"", a book which can hardly be classified as a travel book. To me it seems a subtle and humorous arabesque and a literary satire. This book was published in the year after he had left grammar-school and was qualifying for the entrance examination to academic studies at the university. It can rightly be regarded as a key, which enables us to understand the entire development of his later production...It was Carl Bagger, his friend from the school days, who had instigated him to cultivate his inborn talent for satire, and during the same year he published ""Journey on Foot"" they met regularly together with a third mate in the ""Serapionsclub"" to which Andersen showed up with a piece of paper sticking out of his pocket. As a free writer it was the fantastic arabesque à la E. T. A. Hoffmann, which came into the centre of their poetic endeavour. What he had learned from Bernhard Severin Ingemann, his fatherly friend, talked about to Carl Bagger and read in Hoffmann, Jean Paul and Ludwig Tieck, he laid out in his book, which as a mixture of an autobiography in disguise and an allegorical satire contains all the basic motifs of his poetic world as a raw material."" (Kofoed)In ""The Fairy Tale of My Life"", Andersen writes: ""Having passed my examinations, the multicoloured fantasies and inventions by which I had been haunted on my walking tours back from my coach, flew like a swarm of bees out in the world in my first publication: ""Journey on Foot from Holmen's Canal to the Eastern Point of Amager"", a humours, weird book, a kind of fanciful arabesque, yet perfectly indicating my whole personality and my views at that time.""""""Journey on Foot"" is a grotesque and serious satire foreseeing the deluge of letters in a mass society, and this issue is in my opinion not only superior as a motive in Andersen's first book but also an overall theme in his entire production. A kind of grotesque humour is one of the characteristics of the arabesque, and if we take a look at the collected tales we may easily sort out a series of narratives typical of the same fluttering, self-ironical and even prophetic style."" (Kofoed)See: Kofoed, Niels: ""The Arabesque and the Grotesque - Hans Christian Andersen Decomposing the World of Poetry"" , In: Johan de Mylius, Aage Jørgensen and Viggo Hjørnager Pedersen (ed.): ""Hans Christian Andersen.

‎Leipzig, Carl B. Lorck, [1848?]. 12mo. Bound in the original richly gilt and blindstamped full cloth binding. All edges gilt. Minor wear to outer hinges, neatly restored. Inscribed by Andersen to front free endpaper: ""Kunstnerinden / den elskværdige Madam / Rosenkilde / bringer jeg denne Bouquet / fra min Digterhave / Nytaarsmorgen / 1852. / H. C. Andersen."" ('To the artist, the amiable Madam Rosenkilde, I bring this bouquet from my garden of poetry / New Year's Morning / 1852. / H. C. Andersen'). (8), 448 pp.‎

‎A beautiful copy of the rare pocket edition, without Vilhelm Pedersen's illustrations, of Carl B. Lorck's German edition of Andersen's collected fairy tales. The edition is undated, but according to the Hans Christian Andersen Centre, it was printed in 1848, a year after the first volume of the first German edition of Andersen's collected works. The present copy is inscribed by Andersen to the renowned Danish actress Julie Weber Sødring, born Rosenkilde (1823-1894). Rosenkilde was a dear friend of Andersen and is mentioned frequently in his diaries. The copy once belonged to the Danish historian Theodor Alfred Müller (1865-1950), who passed it on to Kamma Roos (1886-1973), wife of the prominent literary historian Carl Roos (1884-1962). In 1968, Kamma gifted it to the distinguished Danish librarian and Andersen collector Erik Dal (1922-2006).‎

‎I Oehlenschlægers Album - original handwritten poem, signed by Andersen - ""in Oehlenschläger's Album"". - [ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN POEM BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN]‎

‎(1842) 1 leaf 8vo. With a later note in tiny neat handwriting to lower blank margin stating that Andersen's original handwritten poem was printed in ""Hertha"" 1842, p. 5.‎

‎This excellent originally handwritten poem by the great fairy tale-author has the underlined headline ""I Øehlenschlægers Album"", but is also known under the title ""Paa Nordens Himmel i Stjernernes Flok"" (i.e. On the Sky of the North in the flock of the stars), which is also the first line of the poem. It was later printed, in the Swedish-Danish publication ""Hertha"", in January 1842, appeared again in ""Digte, gamle og nye"" in 1846, yet again in Andersen's collected works, vol XII, 252, 1879, as nr. 1 of the album leaves, and recently in a new modern Danish version by Johan de Mylius. This beautiful and treasured Andersen poem in full reads thus: Paa Nordens Himmel i Stjernernes Flok,Tycho Brahe har skrevet sit Minde,Og Thorvaldsen hug udi Fjeldets BlokSit Navn, det vil aldrig forsvinde"Du sang af dit Hjerte og Norden/ har hørtVed Dig sine største Bedrifter,Dybt Hjertets Gange har Hjerterne/ rørt,Din Storhed ei Tiden henvistner!Staaer Een i Stjernerne, Een i/ Steen,I Hjerterne veed jeg staaer ogsaa/ Een. We know that Andersen himself also treasured the poem and later also sent it to Zeise, who he hoped would translate it into German and have it published. BFN 413.‎

‎Scarce first edition of Andersen's third debut, his first novel, which brought him fame as one of the foemost novel-writers. ""Improvisatoren"" is considered one of the most perfect works by Andersen and the work that seriously made him famous, especially in Europe, where he first and foremost came to be known as an eminent author of novels. With his great first novel, Andersen paves the way for the new modern genre of the novel and places himself at the very front of this literary movement. ""Improvisatoren"" also constitutes Andersen's efforts throughout the 30'es to write in a picturesque manner. He is extremely proud to say due to his novel, his German translator, ""Professor Kruse [...] says that I am the greatest painter and Ørsted says that I should have the brush as well as the pen."" (Letter to Henriette Wulff, March 16, 1835). Andersen is extremely occupied with the novel and focuses greatly upon its reception. To his extreme joy, ""Improvisaoren"" is tremendously well received, and Andersen almost cannot believe his success. ""People adore Improvisatoren, everything I say and speak they find terrific, everything I utter an urge for they give me. They ask me what dished I would like, if I want to drive on trips. You can very well believe that Oehlenschläger at his Prince is not being flattered more than me. It is the first time that I feel the comfort of being a poet."" (Letter to Edvard Collin 5 Juli 1835). Later in the same letter, he asks Collin, if he has heard about the German translation and what impressions that is making - ""I long to hear what kind of impression it is making on the Germans.""In April 1835, he writes to Henriette Wulff: ""My novel Improvisatoren has now been published in Danish and is being published in German as I write... Never before has any work by me caught the masses so vividly,... ""I am ""on a wave""" but my heart is full of gratitude towards the good God" from him I feel that it is all a gift, a blessing, he has allowed to flow through my soul."" (Letter to Henriette Wulff, April 29, 1835). BFN 264.‎
