The April 9, 1835 appeared in Denmark's first novel, Hans Christian Andersen: The Improviser. It was the first modern novel, the contemporary issue in the Nordic country. Andersen was based, as almost all his work on himself to write this book. In the novel we approach the soul of the author and also find many elements that appear time and again in his stories: who can know them recognize characters, adventures and events that poke through his most famous tales, even the ugly duckling is everywhere, as Antonio-Andersen. Reading The Improviser undoubtedly make us better understand where their acquaintances stories emerged.
Finally, we note that the book, plus a contemporary novel, and a kind of spiritual autobiography and literary, is also a travel book. The routes follow Andersen which Italy can play today. The adventures of the protagonist through the streets of Rome, Naples, Venice, Milan ... us an insight into nineteenth-century Italy.
For all this is a pleasure to introduce, for first time in Spain, this work key to understanding the literary genius of Hans Christian Andersen.
