The collection of works by the famous German prose writer Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann includes his most famous fairy tales ("The Golden Pot", "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King", "Little Zaches, nicknamed Zinnober") and short stories ("Adventures on New Year's Eve", "The Sandman", "The Choice of a Bride"), which became a kind of calling cards of the writer and over time were recognized as masterpieces of European romantic prose. Behind the whimsical series of strange, outlandish characters, behind the clashes of passions, behind the incredible vicissitudes of fate, invisibly, and sometimes clearly, is the Author - an original mythologist-mystic, a singer of "elemental spirits" and creator of "combined realities", under whose pen 19th-century Dresden can turn into a utopian Atlantis, and a child's room decorated for Christmas - a wondrous magical land; A visionary artist, obsessed with nightmarish obsessions, strange illusions, sinister substitutions and dizzying phantasmagorias; a caustic satirist, keenly observing the social and moral flaws of his era; a sly parodist-mocker, artistically and selflessly "playing at literature" and creating virtuoso reflections of Life and Art.
