Tales of E. T. A. Hoffmann Kindle Edition

by E.TA. Hoffmann (Author), Jacob Landau (Illustrator), Leonard J. Kent (Editor), Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
Ranging from macabre fantasies to fairy tales and tales of crime, these stories from the author of The Nutcracker create a rich fictional world. Hoffman paints a complex vision of humanity, where people struggle to establish identities in a hostile, absurd world.

"The editors have made an excellent selection, and the result is a book of great distinction."—Denis Donoghue, New York Review of Books

"The translators have proved fully equal to all the challenges of Hoffmann's romantic irony and his richly allusive prose, giving us an accurate and idiomatic rendering that also retains much of the original flavor."—Harry Zohn, Saturday Review
