The article presents the complexity of the literary visions of the future created by the Danish writer. Andersen was fascinated by science and technological achievements of the nineteenth century. This fascination served as an inspiration for his literary work. A few fairy tales takes the reader into the world of the future (for example The Great Sea Serpentor or In a Thousand Years). In other fairy tales we find praise of the contemporary inventions like the telegraph or the network Parisian waterworks. His vision of Europe in the next millennium is hopeful, and that sets it apart from most of the other literary texts of the time.
