Tales of Hoffmann

Tales of Hoffmann

by E.T.A. Hoffman

  • LITERATURE
  • 1982
  • PAPER
  • 416 PAGES

From the author of the Nutcracker, pioneer of the fantasy genre and exemplar of German Romanticism, this series of stories creates a complex portrait of humanity, ranging from the macabre to the absurd, from innocent fairy tales to lurid crime stories. Includes "Councillor Krespel" (AKA "The Cremona Violin"), a bizzare tale in which a musician gradually loses his mind as a result of his hypersensitivity to daily occurrences.  (GER199, $16.00)
