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. \u003cbr\u003eThey 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. \u003cbr\u003eThis collection contains ten of his best tales: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.96 x 8.47 x 5.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 1979\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756122898720,"sku":"9780486217932","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0b42ba443b070017f7078c8ea3742fad.webp?v=1780074831","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-best-tales-of-hoffmann-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
