More about the book

E. T. A. Hoffmann's early work, published in 1814, showcases his transition from law to literature, influenced by German classicists and philosophers like Kant. Known for his captivating tales, Hoffmann's most famous story, "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," inspired Tchaikovsky's ballet. His other notable work, "The Sandman," not only influenced ballet but also sparked Freud's essay "The Uncanny," cementing Hoffmann's status as a master of the uncanny in literature. This republished edition offers access to his classic works.
