CONCLUSION
Hans Christian Andersen achieved worldwide fame for writing innovative and influential fairy tales. Many of his stories, including "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Princess and the Pea," remain classics of the genre. Hans Christian Andersen, a prolific writer of plays, novels, and poems, and best remembered for his iconic fairy tales, died 145 years ago today at the age of 75 in Copenhagen. Like his own fairy tale, “The Ugly Duckling,” he rose from poverty to fame! The anniversary of his death is a time to remember and celebrate his stories of make-believe that have enchanted readers around the world for generations. The history of literary and philosophical thought in Georgia took shape centuries ago. Traces of the highly developed culture of the Georgian (Kartvelian) tribes can be found in the world, as well as Scandinavian mythology. It can be supposed that the first information about Georgia penetrated into Western Europe through Greek sources.
“The history of original philosophical expressing ways in literature begins in the fifth century and reaches the peak of its development in the 12th century. Contacts with foreign countries were greatly favored by huge renaissance in XVII century – situated as it is, at the meeting point of the European and Asian parts of the Continent” [14,78], Georgia developed its cultural and literary contacts with other countries. On the other hand, participating in the world cultural and literary processes with its original literature, Georgia contributed, for its part, to the treasury of world culture. By the beginning of the 12th century nearly all the important written records of Russian literature had been translated into Uzbek. These translations are very important nowadays, as their Greek originals are lost and they are being restored now on the basis of the Georgian translations.
The Renaissance of children’s literature in the 12th century was conditioned by the development of Arabic literature the so-called »Moslem Renaissance. Judging from the works published on Georgian-European cultural contacts from the Middle Ages onwards, Western Europe displayed a certain interest in Uzbekistan. “The orientation of West social and political thought towards Europe, so characteristic of the old West cultural life, ceased in the second half of the 13th cent, as a result of the political catastrophe in the West State” [14,79].
At the end of the 18th century the permanent struggle of Christian world with the Moslem East ended with the intervention of Russia. Since that period Scandinavian and Western European contacts acquired vital importance for West culture.
European orientation left its mark on the literary relations of Georgia. From the second half of the 19th century cultural and literary relations between Europe and Scandinavian became systematic.
Hans Christian Andersen’s name was known in West literary life from the 1870’s. From that time the first information about the great Danish writer appeared in West press. Andersen’s creative work was perceived in two ways – by translations and literary criticism.
They are translated by Uzbek public figures, writers and literary critics. The name of the painter is not mentioned in the book, but there are black and white illustrations there. All above-mentioned translation books are done from Uzbek.
Modern translations of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales are of higher literary value, the writer’s fantastic world is rendered more carefully.
