Synopsis:
Two charming tales by great German Romantic writer. "The Nutcracker" is a beloved Christmas story featuring Godpapa Drosselmeier, the brave Nutcracker and the evil Mouse-King. "The Golden Pot," widely considered Hoffmann's finest story, blends reality and fantasy in a tale about the invasion of supernatural forces into everyday life. New introductory Note.
From the Back Cover:
Among the greatest writers of fantasy and a major figure in late German Romanticism, Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776–1822) created an extraordinary world of fantasy, poetry, and the supernatural. Remarkable characters come vividly to life in imaginative tales that move from the firm ground of reality to ambiguity, mystery, and romance. This volume contains two of his best tales. "The Nutcracker," a charming Christmas story which has become a perennial favorite for young and old alike, presents such memorable characters as the beloved Godpapa Drosselmeier, the brave Nutcracker, and the evil Mouse-King. "The Golden Pot," Hoffmann's first major literary work (and widely regarded as his finest), successfully blends reality and fantasy in a story that details the invasion of supernatural forces into everyday life. A master of allegory and symbolism, Hoffmann has long been popular in Europe. This volume now introduces a portion of his remarkable work to an even wider audience.
