Az arany virágcserép / A homokember / Scuderi kisasszony
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Az Európa Könyvkiadó 1991 szeptemberében indította el megújított, külsejében is vonzóbb sorozatát. Alaposan, minden részletre kiterjedő figyelemmel tervezte meg az összeállítást, hiszen a világirodalom és a magyar irodalom remekműveinek kiadásával egyszerre kíván segítséget nyújtani tanárnak, diáknak s valamennyi felnőtt irodalomkedvelőnek. Nemcsak megjelenteti az általános iskolások és a középiskolások számára ajánlott műveket, hanem arról is gondoskodik, hogy ezek állandóan kaphatók legyenek a könyvesboltokban. Már eddig is oly sok fontos kötet látott napvilágot ebben a sorozatban, hogy felsorolásukra itt aligha lenne elegendő hely. A kötetekhez mellékelt könyvjelzőn azonban valamennyi szerző neve és művének címe megtalálható, ki-ki kedvére végigböngészheti, és örömmel állapíthatja meg, hogy könyvtárában a klasszikusok sorát alkalmasint egy újabb kötettel gazdagíthatja.
Das Fräulein von Scuderi
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Spät um Mitternacht - es mochte im Herbste des Jahres 1680 sein - wurde an dieses Haus hart und heftig angeschlagen, daß es im ganzen Flur laut widerhallte. - Baptiste, der in des Fräuleins kleinem Haushalt Koch, Bedienten und Türsteher zugleich vorstellte, war mit Erlaubnis seiner Herrschaft über Land gegangen zur Hochzeit seiner Schwester, und so kam es, daß die Martinière, des Fräuleins Kammerfrau, allein im Hause noch wachte. Sie hörte die wiederholten Schläge, es fiel ihr ein, daß Baptiste fortgegangen und sie mit dein Fräulein ohne weitern Schutz im Hause geblieben sei; aller Frevel von Einbruch, Diebstahl und Mord, wie er jemals in Paris verübt worden, kam ihr in den Sinn, es wurde ihr gewiß, daß irgend ein Haufen Meuter, von der Einsamkeit des Hauses unterrichtet, da draußen tobe und, eingelassen, ein böses Vorhaben gegen die Herrschaft ausführen wolle...
Der goldne Topf
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Der goldne Topf, Hoffmanns »Märchen aus der neuen Zeit«, spielt virtuos mit den Ebenen des Wunderbaren und des Bürgerlich-Philiströsen. Der Weg des Studenten Anselmus von Dresden nach Atlantis wird phantasievoll-humoristisch erzählt und zugleich ironisch reflektiert. Seit langem und mit Recht gilt der Märchenroman als ein Höhepunkt romantischer Erzählkunst.
Der goldne Topf. EinFach Deutsch Textausgaben: Gymnasiale Oberstufe
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Between - between - between - between branches, between swelling blossoms, swing, snake, we loop - sister - sister, swing in the light - fast, fast up - down - evening sun shoots rays, hisses the evening wind - the evening breeze rustles - rustles the dew - flowers sing - stir like ticks, we sing with flowers and twigs - stars shine soon - have to come down - between, between a meandering, looping, we swing our little sister. -—from the book
Der Nussknacker
E.T.A. Hoffmann
The tale of Nutcracker, written by E.T.A. Hoffmann in 1816, has fascinated and inspired artists, composers, and audiences for almost two hundred years. It has retained its freshness because it appeals to the sense of wonder we all share.
Maurice Sendak designed brilliant sets and costumes for the Pacific Northwest Ballet's Christmas production of Nutcracker and has created even more magnificent pictures especially for this book. He has joined with the eminent translator Ralph Manheim to produce this illustrated edition of Hoffmann's wonderful tale, destined to become a classic for all ages.
The world of Nutcracker is a world of pleasures. Maurice Sendak's art illuminates the delights of Hoffmann's story in this rich and tantalizing treasure.
Der Sandmann
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Unter Hoffmanns Werken hat Der Sandmann das weitaus größte Interesse gefunden. Sein Grundproblem ist die Selbstverfallenheit des Menschen, der aus dem Gefängnis seines Ichs nicht mehr herausfindet, deshalb in seinen Lebensbeziehungen, vor allem in seiner Liebesbindung tragisch scheitert und am Ende sich selbst zerstören muß.
Der Sandmann: Band 37
E.T.A. Hoffmann
In E.T.A. Hoffmanns Erzählung 'Der Sandmann', die 1816 in der Tradition des Kunstmärchens der Schwarzen Romantik erschien, wird Nathanael, ein junger Student und Dichter, Opfer dunkler Mächte, die ihn am Ende in den Selbstmord treiben.
Der Sandmann / Das Fräulein von Scuderi
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Zwei virtuose Meisterstücke des großen E.T.A. Hoffmann: 'Der Sandmann' ist eine Geschichte über die Macht des Sehens und der Wahrnehmung. Der Student Nathanael erkennt in dem Wetterglashändler Coppola die Schreckgestalt seiner Kinderzeit, den teuflischen Advokaten Coppelius. Scheinbar unaufhaltsam verfällt der sensible junge Mann dem Wahnsinn. 'Das Fräulein von Scuderi', eine betagte Dichterin, findet sich im Paris des späten 17. Jahrhunderts unversehens in eine Serie von geheimnisvollen Raubmorden verwickelt. Welche Rolle spielen der stadtbekannte Goldschmied Cardillac und sein Gehilfe Olivier in diesem dunklen Kriminalfall?
Der Sandmann/The Sandman by E. T. A. Hoffmann: The Original German and a New English Translation with Critical Introductions
E.T.A. Hoffmann
E.T.A. Hoffman can be considered one of the fathers of German Gothic Horror. He wrote one of the first German horror novels, Die Elixiere des Teufels (The Devil's Elixirs), and he also wrote the story to which Tchaikovsky composed the Nutcracker Suite. The Sandman is a story that is unique in its perspective, which depends on which of the main characters' viewpoints one believes. If one follows the interpretation of the romantic, Nathanael, then there is a mad man after him (from a childhood trauma related to the Sandman). If one believes the viewpoint of Clara, the rational one, it is all in his mind and pure fantasy. Written in 1816/17, the topic of the automaton is also a question of what is real and what is merely perceived to be real, which is at the root of the uncanny, as described by Freud, among others. Blurring the lines between mechanical and human is a very contemporary issue with virtual assistants and AI's whose voices are indistinguishable from humans. This narrative is over 200 years old still and has many interesting and prescient questions at its core that modern audiences will find interesting and engaging.
Die Elixiere des Teufels (German Edition)
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Manche Romane entfalten, obwohl vor fast 200 Jahren geschrieben, erst heute ihre ganze Wirkung. Waren zeitgenössische Leser von Die Elixiere des Teufels -- erstmals 1815 und 1816 in zwei Bänden erschienen -- eher überfordert, steht der Roman heute als ein Meisterwerk der Fantastik in zahlreichen Bücherschränken. Auf den ersten Blick erzählt Hoffmann eine nicht eben neue Der Bruder Medardus ist ein hoch angesehenes, für seine feurigen Predigten bekanntes Mitglied der Klostergemeinde. Als ihm die Aufsicht über die Reliquienkammer übertragen wird, beginnt jedoch sein Niedergang. Unter den Schätzen befindet sich auch eine Flasche der Elixiere des Teufels, mit denen der Satan vor Jahrhunderten den heiligen Antonius verführen wollte. Ein Schluck aus der Flasche besiegelt seinen Abstieg. Obgleich seine Predigten feuriger denn je werden, verliert er sich in Selbstverliebtheit und entsagt so dem Göttlichen. In der Hoffnung, Medardus Seele zu retten schickt ihn der Prior des Klosters auf die Reise nach Rom. Einmal frei von den Mauern des Klosters, beginnt Medardus Kampf gegen den den Verführer. Seine Reise ist gegprägt von Lügen, Diebstahl und Mord. Immer wieder begegnet er Personen, die ihm erstaunlich ähnlich sind. In diesen findet er all seine Schwächen wieder, er schlüpft in ihre Rollen, versucht ihr Leben und findet letztlich doch wieder zu sich selbst zurück.

El hombre de arena
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (Königsberg, Prusia Oriental, 1776 - Berlín, 1822) es uno de los más destacados escritores del Romanticismo alemán. Compuso también importantes partituras, como la ópera Ondina (1816), dirigió grandes orquestas y ejerció la crítica musical, pero su celebridad se debe a su faceta de escritor, principalmente a sus cuentos fantásticos y de terror, que a su vez inspiraron la famosa ópera de Jacques Offenbach Los cuentos de Hoffmann (1880), en la que el propio Hoffmann es protagonista, el ballet Copelia, de Leo Delibes (1870) o la pieza para piano Kreisleriana, del genial Schumann. También Wagner, Bellini o Donizetti hallaron inspiración en él, aunque quizá sea su relato El cascanueces el que mayor popularidad haya alcanzado a través del ballet homónimo de Tchaikovsky.
Sus obras de horror y suspense, que a los elementos fantasmagóricos y sobrenaturales añaden rasgos de realismo psicológico, influyeron también en escritores como Poe o Gautier, y su novela Los elixires del diablo (1816) se considera una obra cumbre de la literatura universal. Obras magistrales son también El magnetizador, Los autómatas o Vampirismo, relato incluido en esta selección.
El hombre de la arena. 13 historias siniestras y nocturnas
E.T.A. Hoffmann
La obra de Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776-1822) es el testimonio de un espíritu libre y vigoroso, de un agudísimo y perspicaz conocedor de las interioridades y resortes de la sociedad de su época, así como de la naturaleza humana. En todos sus escritos se respira esa bocanada de aire fresco característica del creador que explora por primera vez territorios no hollados. Hoffmann se enfrenta a la realidad siguiendo los cánones del Romanticismo: «Escribir (componer, crear) basándose sólo en la realidad vista con los ojos del alma, sentida con su tacto.» Lo «real», pues, no sería sino el conjunto de todo lo «visto» y «sentido» interiormente y no el feudo exclusivo de la razón común, eficaz a veces para expresarlo. Estas Trece historias siniestras y nocturnas son, pues, producto de la descripción fiel de la realidad vista y sentida con el ojo del alma, que penetra e indaga más allá de las apariencias ?anticipándose al psicoanálisis? para vislumbrar la cara oculta de la Naturaleza y de lo cotidiano. El leve estremecimiento placentero que sentimos al comienzo de estas «piezas fantásticas», algunas de ellas verdaderamente «góticas», se torna poco a poco en escalofrío, mezcla de terror y premonición, ante el desarrollo de los acontecimientos: lo cotidiano da paso a lo siniestro y la cara oculta de las pasiones humanas aparece ante el sorprendido lector desnuda, en su cruda y gélida intimidad.
Elixirele diavolului
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Osciland intre fantasticul gotic si ironie, in Elixirele diavolului Hoffmann le propune cititorilor sai o incursiune in universul fortelor malefice. Intruziunea supranaturalului in viata personajelor - o confruntare inegala - dezvaluie fragilitatea si tragismul conditiei umane.

Fiabe
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Piccolo Zaccheo detto Cinabro
La principessa Brambilla
Maestro Pulce
Scritte tra il 1818 e il 1821, queste tre grandi fiabe, tra le creazioni più geniali del Romanticismo europeo, appartengono all'ultima stagione creativa di Hoffmann: possiedono infatti la magia di quegli estremi incanti in cui la malinconia si accompagna al più lieto dei sogni. L'improvviso irrompere dieventi soprannaturali travolge tre realtà completamente diverse: l'immaginaria città di Kerepes, il Carnevale di Roma, la notte di Natale aFrancoforte.
Gli elisir del diavolo
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Un romanzo erotico e religioso, una metafora del potere seduttivo e distruttivo delle immagini, narrata con le tinte fosche del gotico e una miracolosa felicità di trama e di stile. Il ritrovamento dei misteriosi elisir del diavolo aprono al monaco Medardo un mondo di tentazioni e visioni che portano il lettore in un viaggio onirico e forsennato tra il brivido dell'azione e il turbamento di una minuziosa e sconcertante introspezione psicologica. La storia di un io diviso settanta anni prima del «Dottor Jekyll e Mr Hyde», scritta da un grande autore dell'Ottocento qui presentato in un'edizione riccamente annotata e sapientemente introdotta.
I fratelli di Serapione - Racconti e Fiabe - Tomo I
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Un gruppo di amici, postisi sotto l'egida dell'eremita Serapione, si ritrovano dopo lungo tempo per raccontarsi una serie di storie e novelle dei generi più disparati, tra cui la celeberrima Schiaccianoci e il re dei topi e la vertiginosa Le miniere di Falun. Unica regola: ubbidire al "principio serapiontico", ovvero, in sostanza, "impegnarsi a non tormentarsi mai e poi mai con robaccia di pessima qualità". Ne nasce una camera delle meraviglie del racconto, dove l'alternarsi dei toni e delle ambientazioni scelti da ciascuno dei narratori dimostra tutta la felice duttilità dell'autore di queste pagine pirotecniche.
I fratelli di Serapione. Racconti e fiabe. Tomo II (Hoffmanniana VI)
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Dopo il terremoto delle guerre napoleoniche, un gruppo di amici, postisi sotto l’egida dell’eremita Serapione, si ritrovano a Berlino per raccontarsi a vicenda una serie di storie e novelle dei generi più disparati, tra cui “La signorina Scudéry” – racconto fondativo del genere poliziesco –, “Signor Formica” e “L’ospite inquietante”. Unica regola: ubbidire al «principio serapiontico», ossia trascendere sempre la realtà con l’aiuto dell’immaginazione, e «impegnarsi a non tormentarsi mai e poi mai con robaccia di pessima qualità». Ne nasce una camera delle meraviglie del racconto, dove l’alternarsi dei toni e delle ambientazioni scelti da ciascuno dei narratori dimostra tutta la felice duttilità dell’autore di queste pagine pirotecniche: E.T.A. Hoffmann.

Il gatto Murr
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Felino erudito e cultore delle arti, Murr decide di scrivere il racconto del suo passaggio terreno, ma il supporto che sceglie è alquanto particolare: i fogli sparsi di una biografia, quella del musicista-filosofo Johannes Kreisler. Un tour de force narrativo, una perla di ironia e paradossale saggezza. Il quarto volume dell’opera omnia del maestro del fantastico, E.T.A. Hoffmann, raccoglie in un'edizione commentata e corredata di un ricco apparato iconografico il suo romanzo più importante, un capolavoro sconosciuto dell'Ottocento più spassoso e inventivo.
Il vaso d'oro e altri racconti
E.T.A. Hoffmann
L’aspirazione a una ragionevole felicità borghese e l’impulso a una vita libera da vincoli e catene: è la lacerante contraddizione che accomuna i personaggi dei tre racconti. Hoffmann opera un radicale capovolgimento della normale prospettiva: fa apparire inconcepibile e assurda la realtà, mentre del tutto “naturali” sono sogni, magie e follie che fanno cadere ogni impedimento all’intuizione delle più segrete e inquietanti verità psicologiche. Grande narratore, egli dà vita a un mondo popolato da esseri irreali e bizzarri, del tutto estranei alla grigia ripetitività dell’universo borghese e riesce nell’intento di ricreare, attraverso la magia della fiaba, tutta l’infantile sensibilità per una realtà che si scopre infinita.
La raccolta contiene i racconti: Il vaso d’oro – Il piccolo Zaches, detto Cinabro – Singolari pene di un direttore di teatro.
Klein Zaches Genannt Zinnober
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776-1822), eigentlich Ernst Theodor Wilhelm, war ein Schriftsteller der Romantik, Jurist, Komponist, Kapellmeister, Musikkritiker, Zeichner und Karikaturist. Aus familiärer Tradition begann Hoffmann 1792 das Studium der Rechte in Königsberg. Nebenbei widmete er sich dem Schreiben, dem Musizieren, dem Zeichnen und gab Musikunterricht. Hoffmann entschied sich jedoch später, die Amtsstube hinter sich zu lassen und Künstler zu werden. Von 1810 an war Hoffmann beim Bamberger Theater als Direktionsgehilfe, Dramaturg und Dekorationsmaler beschäftigt. Die Veröffentlichung des Märchens Der Goldene Topf (1814) waren ein Erfolg, an dem Hoffmann mit der Arbeit an dem Roman Die Elixiere des Teufels (1815) und den Nachtstücke (1817) anknüpfen wollte. 1816 wurde Hoffmann zum Kammergerichtsrat ernannt. Der nach ihm benannte Bamberger Literaturpreis wird alle 2 Jahre verliehen. Weitere Werke des Autors sind u. Die Serapionsbrüder (1819), Prinzessin Brambilla (1820), Meister Floh (1822) und Des Vetters Eckfenster (1822).

Lo schiaccianoci (Storie Meravigliose)
E.T.A. Hoffmann
In questa edizione esclusiva del classico per bambini Lo Schiaccianoci sono comprese tanto la versione dello scrittore francese Alexandre Dumas, intitolata Histoire d'un casse-noisette (1844), che ispirò il celebre balletto del compositore russo Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, quanto il racconto originale Nussknacker und Mausekönig, creato dall'autore tedesco E. T. A. Hoffmann nel 1816. Le meravigliose silhouette del racconto di Dumas sono opera dell'artista danese Else Hasselriis, che le realizzò per un'edizione del 1930, mentre le delicate immagini a colori che accompagnano la versione di E. T. A. Hoftimann sono tratte da Louskácek a myší král, un'edizione ceca del 1924 disegnata da Artuš Scheiner, artista boemo che dà alle sue illustrazioni sottili tocchi di fantasia ispirati all' Art Nouveau.
Lo Schiaccianoci. Un racconto di Natale
E.T.A. Hoffmann
La notte della vigilia di Natale, la piccola Marie Stahlbaum riceve in dono dal padrino uno splendido schiaccianoci di legno dalle sembianze umane. Ma quello che sembra essere un semplice giocattolo è in realtà un oggetto magico animato di vita propria: un eroe coraggioso che difenderà Marie dal malvagio Re dei topi, con sette teste e sette corone, e la condurrà al cospetto della Principessa Pirlipat, nel Regno delle Bambole, tra pastorelli e soldatini d’argento, cestini di zucchero e canditi. Pubblicata nel 1816 e diventata un celebre balletto di Caikovskij, la fiaba dello Schiaccianoci continua ancora oggi a far sognare bambini e adulti di tutto il mondo.
Notturni
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Otto racconti, otto gradazioni della follia e dell'ossessione. Il lato oscuro dell’esistenza prende una forma classica ed esemplare in queste storie visionarie che hanno cambiato la sensibilità moderna e ispirato Freud e i surrealisti.
Dall’Uomo della sabbia al Maggiorasco, queste novelle aprono una dimensione irrevocabile e irrinunciabile di pensiero e di immaginazione che inaugura quella passione per l’inconscio da cui nasce tutta la letteratura fantastica moderna.

Nußknacker und Mausekönig
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Das beliebte Märchen von Nussknacker und Mausekönig, in dem sich sein Autor als »Pate Droßelmeier« porträtiert hat, ist eine Weihnachtsgeschichte, doch dies nicht allein: Es ist die Geschichte einer Begegnung mit dem Wunderbaren, das bei E. T. A. Hoffmann immer auch das in die Wirklichkeit einbrechende Unheimliche bedeutet. Monika Wurmdobler hat diese Mischung von Alltagswelt und skurriler Märchenwelt in zauberhaften farbigen Bildern eingefangen.

Opiniones del gato Murr
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Hoffmann, escritor de viva imaginación apoyada en una notable y sutil observación, escribió esta excelente novela entre 1820 y 1822. En " El gato Murr " se mezclan, con incisiva ironía romántica, la biografía del maestro de capilla Kreisler y la estrechez de miras de un burgués pedante.
Sandmannen
E.T.A. Hoffmann
E.T.A Hoffmann (1776-1822) är den tyska litteraturens store häxmästare. I hans berättelser möter os spöken, magnetisörer, dubbelgångare och demoner. Men mitt i all skräck och mystik försöker Hoffmann också säga något om det mänskliga psykets djup och avgrunder.
Schiaccianoci e il re dei topi

Serkkuni kulmaikkuna
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Vuonna 1822 ilmestynyt Serkkuni kulmaikkuna on kirjailija E. T. A. Hoffmannin (1776-1822) viimeinen teksti, jonka hän ehti elinaikanaan nähdä painettuna. Mielikuvituksellisista ja omaperäisistä tarinoistaan tunnettua Hoffmannia pidetään kauhu- ja fantasiakirjallisuuden edelläkävijänä, joka saattoi lukijansa usein unen ja valvetilan rajamaille. Serkkuni kulmaikkuna sijoittuu berliiniläiseen asuntoon, jonka ikkunasta avautuu kiehtova näkymä. Serkukset seuraavat läheisen torin tapahtumia ja henkilöhahmoja kuin mykkäelokuvaa katsellen. Pienistä vihjeistä rakentuu monitasoinen kuva suurkaupungin kuhinasta ja sen lukemattomista, risteävistä kohtaloista.
Tales of Hoffmann
E.T.A. Hoffmann
This selection of Hoffmann's finest short stories vividly demonstrates his intense imagination and preoccupation with the supernatural, placing him at the forefront of both surrealism and the modern horror genre. Suspense dominates tales such as "Mademoiselle de Scudery", in which an apprentice goldsmith and a female novelist find themselves caught up in a series of jewel thefts and murders. In the sinister "Sandman", a young man's sanity is tormented by fears about a mysterious chemist, while in "The Choosing of a Bride" a greedy father preys on the weaknesses of his daughter's suitors. Master of the bizarre, Hoffman creates a sinister and unsettling world combining love and madness, black humour and bewildering illusion.
The Best Tales of Hoffmann
E.T.A. Hoffmann
E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was perhaps one of the two or three greatest of all writers of fantasy. His wonderful tales, translated into many languages and adapted into numerous stage works, have delighted readers for a century and a half.
They open our eyes to an extraordinary world of fantasy, poetry, and the supernatural. Remarkable characters come vividly to life. With exciting speed, Hoffmann moves from the firm ground of reality to ambiguity, mystery, and romance. His imaginativeness is unsurpassed, and his handling of allegory, symbolism, and mysticism is unusually skillful. These qualities make his tales some of the most stimulating and enjoyable in the world's literature. They can be read on many levels of enjoyment; as exciting fiction brilliantly told, as a fascinating statement of many of the major concerns of the Romantic era, and as a culmination of German Romantic literature.
This collection contains ten of his best "The Golden Flower Pot," "Automata," "A New Year's Eve Adventure," "Nutcracker and the King of Mice," "The Sand-Man," "Rath Krespel," "Tobias Martin, Master Cooper, and His Men," "The Mines of Falun," "Signor Formica," and "The King's Betrothed."
The Devil's Elixirs
E.T.A. Hoffmann
The charismatic monk Medardus becomes implicated in a deadly mystery against his will. As he travels towards Rome he wrestles with the enigma of his own identity while pursued by his murderous doppelganger. The monk's only hope for salvation lies with the beautiful Aurelie; but in order to escape the curse which lies over his family, he must evade the sinister powers of the living and the dead. In this lively and disturbing gothic tale, Hoffmann combines elements of the fantastic and the sublime to analyse the seductive ambiguities of art and the deeply divided nature of the human imagination.
The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr
E.T.A. Hoffmann
It was E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) who first explored many of the themes and techniques which were later used by writers from Dickens to Dostoyevsky, Poe to Kafka, Baudelaire to Marquez. His career reached a glorious climax in The Tomcat Murr, perhaps the strangest novel of the nineteenth century.. "Hoffmann was a follower of Cervantes and Sterne, a pioneering 'magic realist', fascinated by Gothic horror, extreme mental states and supernatural events occurring within sharply (and sometimes satirically) rendered social settings. A talented composer and painter, he portrayed himself in the guise of Johannes Kreisler - the hypochondriac, antisocial and moody but brilliant musician. In this astonishing book, a vain and very bourgeois tomcat sets out to write his memoirs, using a biography of Kreisler as a blotting pad. By a printer's error, the two lives get spliced together into a bizarre double narrative. A supreme example of literary bravado, The Tomcat Murr is also shot through with the warmth, humanity and almost uncanny ability to captivate his readers which make Hoffmann the greatest of German story-tellers.
The Nutcracker
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Written in 1816 by the German Romantic E. T. A. Hoffmann for his children, nephews and nieces, The Nutcracker captures better than any other story a child's wonder at Christmas. Since its publication, it has inspired hundreds of artists and adaptations, most notably the legendary ballet, scored by Russian composer Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Today, the story - and its enchanting images of sugar plums and nutcrackers, mistletoe and the Kingdom of the Dolls - continues to cast its fantastical spell on readers of all ages.
Joachim Neugroschel won three PEN translation awards and the French-American Foundation Translation Prize. He translated Thomas Mann's Death in Venice and Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs, among other works, for Penguin Classics.
The Nutcracker and the Mouse King
E.T.A. Hoffmann
The Nutcracker is a Christmas story about a little girl named Maria and her wooden doll, the Nutcracker, who becomes alive to fight the evil seven-headed Mouse King.This edition includes 20 illustrations by Artuš Scheiner and Ludwig Willem Reymert Wenckebach.
The Nutcracker and The Strange Child
E.T.A. Hoffmann
ETA Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King may be familiar to many, having served as the inspiration for Tchaikovsky's famous ballet. However, the ballet was based on a French retelling of the story, and Hoffmann's German original is rarely translated in its entirety. This edition of the complete German classic, in a new translation by the eminent translator Anthea Bell, displays the full range of the author's quirky power of invention. It is published here alongside another lesser-known tale, The Strange Child, in which a young brother and sister meet an unusual playmate in the woods and have to deal with a sinister new schoolmaster..
The Nutcracker and The Strange Child (Pushkin Collection) by Hoffman, E T A (2010) Paperback
E.T.A. Hoffmann
The basis for one of the most famous ballets in the world, this magical Christmas classic is presented along with one of Hoffman's lesser-known tales E. T. A. Hoffmann's famous tale may seem almost overly familiar as the inspiration for Tchaikovsky's equally famous ballet (in fact based on a French retelling of Hoffmann's original German tale). However, its translation is rarely ever entire. This edition displays the full range of Hoffmann's quirky powers of invention. Here is the whole text together with another less known tale, "The Strange Child," in which Felix and Christlieb, the son and daughter of country gentleman Sir Thaddeus, meet a child in the woods. To Felix their new playmate appears a boy, to Christlieb another little girl. They are not the first of their family to have met the strange child.

The Tales of Hoffman
E.T.A. Hoffmann
E. T. A. Hoffmann dwelt in the realm of "things that seem to not exist but live just the same." The truth of these words of Balzac's about Germany's greatest Romantic storyteller is confirmed by all five tales in this volume, each representing a different facet of Hoffmann's genius, yet bearing its unmistakable signature.
The impact of these stories is all the more stunning because they are variations on a single theme: the pursuit of a man by a dark fate he nurtures within himself. Long before the advent of psychoanalysis, Hoffmann was aware of the threat of eruption from the unconscious. The weird lands he explores lie within ourselves.
The Sandman
One of the tales selected by Offenbach for his opera Tales of Hoffmann. Nathanael, presented in childhood with a gruesome picture of the "bringer of sleep," flees all his life from a man who wants his eyes.
Mademoiselle de Scudery
In which a victim of split personality baffles the police of 17th century France.
Datura Fastuosa
Of the awful consequences of repression and a mother fixation.
The King's Bride
Such delightful whimsy! Yet it does not spare us an encounter with the more dubious aspects of ourselves.
Gambler's Luck
A suggestion of Edgar Allan Poe and perhaps Robert Louis Stevenson, and is there a touch of O. Henry?
The Wounded Storyteller: The Traumatic Tales of E. T. A. Hoffmann
E.T.A. Hoffmann
E. T. A. Hoffmann’s classic tales of Gothic horror and fantasy are presented in a new translation accompanying the beguiling drawings of Natalie Frank
“Sumptuous. . . . [Natalie Frank’s] artwork . . . is gruesome perfection.”—Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal
E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was one of the greatest German Romantic authors of fantasy and a pioneer in the genre we now call Gothic horror. His innovative stories explore ideas of madness, genius, doppelgängers, artificial intelligence, and the boundaries between realities and dreams. Artist Natalie Frank and leading fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes have joined forces in this lavishly illustrated volume of five of Hoffmann’s most influential The Golden Pot , The Sandman , The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, The Mystifying Child, and The Mines of Falun .
In addition to offering fresh translations, Zipes introduces the project and sheds light on how Hoffmann’s lifetime of personal traumas shaped his writing. Frank’s richly rendered gouache and chalk pastels reveal Hoffmann’s worlds in full-page drawings and marginalia. Pivotal scenes of transformation, courage, love, desire, and betrayal are illustrated through a feminist lens, focusing on strong, self-aware female characters. A foreword by novelist Karen Russell delves into the influence the tales had on her own literary career and the ways in which she emulates Hoffmann today. The Wounded Storyteller will introduce Hoffmann’s timeless work to a new generation of readers.

Золотой горшок. Крошка Цахес, по прозванию Циннобер
E.T.A. Hoffmann
Литературные сказки Гофмана… Многообразные и многогранные, остроумные и бесконечно увлекательные.
Мы начинаем читать их еще в детстве - а впоследствии возвращаемся к ним снова и снова. "Золотой горшок" - поэтичная и почти сюрреалистическая история, которой восхищались французские декаденты XIX столетия и российские символисты Серебряного века… "Крошка Цахес, по прозванию Циннобер" - едкая социальная сатира о ничтожестве, пробирающемся к высотам власти, не утратившая актуальности и в наши дни…
