Overview: A German author of fantasy and Gothic horror, E. T. A. Hoffmann wrote original and spine-chilling tales that highly influenced nineteenth-century literature, confirming his status as one of the major authors of the Romantic movement. His story ‘Das Fräulein von Scuder’ is often cited as the first detective story and his novella ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’ went on to inspire Tchaikovsky’s celebrated ballet. Hoffmann was a pioneer of the fantasy genre, with a taste for the macabre combined with realism that influenced such authors as Poe, Gogol, Dickens, Baudelaire, Dostoyevsky and Kafka. This eBook presents Hoffmann’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
