Priče i zgode

The edition Stories and Incidents: A Selection by Hans Christian Andersen, published by Novi pokeljenja, can be considered one of the most representative Croatian editions of Andersen's fairy tales and short stories. The value of this book is not only in the fact that it brings together Andersen's most famous texts, but also in the breadth of the selection.

The book contains famous stories such as The Tin Woodman, Thumbelina, The Little Mermaid, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Nightingale, The Ugly Duckling and The Snow Queen, but also a large number of lesser-known stories, which shows that the book was not compiled as a short school selection, but as a comprehensive cross-section of Andersen's work.

Such an arrangement of stories reveals to the reader the entire range of Andersen's narrative world: fairy-tale imagination, tenderness, sadness, humor, irony and moral sensitivity. Due to its scope, translation approach, and classic illustrations, this edition represents a canonical and culturally valuable book, intended not only for children but also for adult readers who want to get to know Andersen in a fuller and more serious way.
