(Hans Christian) 1805 1875 Andersen, Hans Christian Kubin, Alfred 1877 1959 Märchen (Illustriert von Alfred Kubin) Die Nachtigall -- Die kleine Seejungfrau -- Der Reisekamerad. Produced by Jens Sadowski "Märchen (Illustriert von Alfred Kubin)" by H. C. Andersen is a collection of fairy tales likely written in the early 19th century. This enchanting anthology includes well-known stories like "Die Nachtigall" (The Nightingale), "Die kleine Seejungfrau" (The Little Mermaid), and "Der Reisekamerad" (The Travel Companion), highlighting the magical and often moralistic themes characteristic of Andersen's work. The opening of the collection begins with the tale of "Die Nachtigall." In a splendid Chinese palace, the emperor learns of a remarkable nightingale whose song enchants all who hear it, including the poor fisherman who listens at night. Despite its fame, the emperor has never heard the bird sing until he demands it be brought to his court. A young kitchen girl ultimately leads the emperor’s emissaries to the enchanting nightingale, setting off a series of events that speak to the themes of authenticity versus artifice as the emperor soon receives a mechanical nightingale—one that lacks the soul and emotional depth of the real bird. The tale sets the stage for explorations of beauty, truth, and the ephemeral nature of life through the lens of Andersen's signature storytelling.
