The autobiography of Extreme Enduro motorcycling legend Graham Jarvis

Den anden april 1855 fyldte H.C. Andersen 50 år og samme dag afsluttede han sin selvbiografi, der fik titlen ”Mit livs Eventyr”. Få måneder senere udkom den, nemlig den 19. juli.Med et for det meste levende og medrivende sprog skildrer H.C. Andersen sit, som han skriver, rige og lyksaglige liv frem til tyve år før han dør. Og hvilket liv: Fra en fattig opvækst i Odense til feteret forfatter i ind- og udland, der tillige bliver professor på Københavns Universitet.Han overvinder store problemer med at stave, og hans gåpåmod, hans frygtløshed og hans gode evne til at skabe kontakter både herhjemme og i udlandet førte ham langt.Inden han blev student og efterfølgende udfoldede sig som forfatter, digter og dramatiker, læser vi om hans forsøg som skuespiller, sanger og balletdanser, og hvordan der bliver talt om, at han kunne blive bonde eller bogbinder, blive skrædder eller urmager, arbejde på kontor eller – som sin far – blive skomager, samt om hvordan han i Odense forsøgte sig som arbejdsdreng på henholdsvis en klædefabrik og en tobaksfabrik og i København som arbejdsdreng i et snedkeri.Det er mag.art Jens Staubrand der har redigeret denne udgave af H.C. Andersens “Mit livs Eventyr”. Han har tillige udvalgt bogens billederne og skrevet de uddybende informationer som billedteksterne indeholder.
