Maggiori informazioni sul libro

E. T. A. Hoffmann, a pivotal figure in literature and music, shifted from a potential legal career to embrace writing and philosophy, influenced by German classicists and thinkers like Kant. His notable works include "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," which inspired Tchaikovsky's famous ballet, and "The Sandman," which influenced both ballet and Freud's essay on the uncanny. Hoffmann's unique blend of fantasy and psychological depth solidified his reputation as a master of the uncanny in literature.
