160 JAHRE E.T.A. HOFFMANN-FORSHUNG 1805-1965: EINE BIBLIOGRAPHIE MIT INHALTSERFASSUNG UND ERLÄUTERUNGEN
Voerster, Jürgen
First edition. Catalogues works by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffman (1776--1822) and studies related to the German writer. Though interested in music and painting, the professional jurist's legacy is sustained in his short stories. Most of his best work was produced in the last ten years of his life, after he came to understand that his talents for composing were not as strong as he might wish. His fiction is considered the first flowering of the horror and fantasy short story, and had a profound impact on later writers, including Edgar Allan Poe and Carl Jung. Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is based on Hoffmann's tales from 1816. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Hoffmann opposite the title page. Loosely inserted is a commemorative book label that indicates that this volume came from the reference library of H.P. Kraus purchased by Oak Knoll Books at the auction sale.
