H. C. Andersen was born in 1805 in Odens, Denmark, and died in 1875 in the capital, Copenhagen. As a 14-year-old, he decided to leave Odense, in favour of pursuing his dream at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen. H. C. Andersen was then offered work at the theater without a fixed salary, after which he was given the opportunity to complete a degree at a Latin school. After completing his education in 1829, his deep interest in the poet genre began, and he soon decided to seek happiness in the field. H. C. Andersen gained increasing fame, especially due to his adventures and stories, which are nowadays translated into a myriad of different languages. The poet was very traveled, and gained a large circle of friends in Europe among well-known artist and sciencist. Shortly after his death, he was honored in England as the greatest living writer in the world.
