”Då såg han i det klara månskenet tätt framför sig en krets av ohyggliga, spöklika gestalter. Gamla, halvnakna kvinnor med fladdrande hår hade hukat sig ned på marken i en ring, och mitt ibland dem låg liket av en människa, på vilket de åt med svår hunger.” I "Det främmande barnet och andra sällsamma historier" återfinns sju av E.T.A. Hoffmanns (1776–1822) säregna fantasistycken, skräckberättelser och sagor, samtliga hämtade ur samlingen "Die Serapionsbrüder" (utgiven i fyra volymer 1819–21). Dessa noveller är sällan eller aldrig översatta till svenska, och utgör därmed ett viktigt komplement till utgivningen av den klassiska tysk-romantiska litteraturen, berättarkonsten och fantastiken i svensk språkdräkt. Heidi Havervik står för översättningen, och Sten Wistrand har skrivit det initierade förordet. Denna utgåva innehåller: "En spökhistoria", "Automaten", "Vampyrism", "Det främmande barnet", "Den kuslige gästen", "Eremiten Serapion" och "Gnomkungens brud"

Jägardockan och harpspelaren stirrade med tomma ögon och fäktade runt med sina små händer. En hemsk, knarrande stämma: "Dumma stackare, enfaldiga varelser! Föraktade oss -- nu kan ni sitta där utan leksaker!" Förskräckta rusade barnen därifrån under regnet som strömmade ner, åskknallarna och stormen. Men knappt hade de kommit till den stora dammen, förrän flickans docka reste sig ur vassen och kväkte med förfärlig stämma: ?Dumma stackare, enfaldiga varelser -- nu kan ni sitta där utan leksaker! Vänta bara, vi är magister Tintes lydiga tjänare!? Felix stod inte ut med de förfärliga spökerierna, och arma Christlieb var halvdöd. Då summade och brusade det bakom dem. "Magister Tinte kommer!" skrek Felix Nio fantasifulla, mörka och bitterljuva noveller från gränslandet mellan konstsaga och fantasy. "Som helhet är Främmande folk och förtrollade skogar en njutbart fascinerande läsning som dessutom presenterar och ger utrymme åt den litteratur som genremässigt varken är saga, fantasy eller skräckberättelse utan befinner sig någonstans däremellan." -- Albin Eklund Djurberg i BTJ:s häfte 14106278.

E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) är en av den tyska romantikens främsta mångsysslare. Han var bl.a. verksam som musiker, kompositör, bildkonstnär och jurist. Som författare var han berömd redan under sin livstid. Att han med största sannolikhet också influerade Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) var något den amerikanske författaren dock aldrig erkände. Hoffmann är en klassisk skräckmästare som även lade grunden för fantasygenren, men han är också en av deckarens urfäder. I Hoffmanns tankeväckande, gåtfulla och gärna på historiska fakta baserade berättelser är hotet från det okända aldrig långt borta, oavsett om det handlar om en galen seriemördare, ett giftmord som planeras eller ett spöklikt hus som ruvar på otäcka gåtor. Gränsen mellan vansinne och verklighet är ibland synnerligen hårfin.
Hoffmann är flitigt översatt till svenska i både akademiska och populära utgåvor. Men att som nu samla fyra av hans berättelser och kalla dem proto-krim är ett nytt grepp. I Alephs deckarbibliotek försvarar Hoffmann sin plats med den äran: Här finns prov på den seriemördande galningen, den kvinnliga privatspanaren, upp-i-rök-försvinnandet, den ockulta deckaren och slutligen en alldeles egen version av det som modernt brukar kallas för länstolsdetektiv. Denne stolsbundne, döende iakttagare är författarens alter ego, som utan att lämna sitt rum ändå lyckas dra slutsatser och leda i bevisning vad folk gör och vilka de är, där han observerar dem på ett torg från sitt hörnfönster.

E. T. A. Hoffman's "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (1816)" is a fairy tale of a young girl's magical dream, filled with stories with dark undertone. In 1844, Dumas adapted the tale as a children's story, which is now well known as a ballet, choreographed by Marius Petipas with Tchaikovsky's music.

Hoffmann is among the greatest and most popular of the German Romantics. This selection, while stressing the variety of his work, puts in the foreground those tales in which the real and the supernatural are brought into contact and conflict. The humour of these tales is a result of the incongruity of supernatural beings at large in an ostentatiously everyday world. They include The Golden Pot, recognized as Hoffmann''s masterpiece by himself and posterity; its spine-chilling companion tale, The Sandman, which Offenbach drew on for his opera Tales of Hoffmann, and which Freud examines in his essay `The Uncanny''; two longer and more elaborate fantasies, set respectively in Germany and Italy; and the late story, My Cousin''s Corner Window, which shows the powers of the imagination being applied to everyday urban life, and marks a transition in European literature generally from Romanticism to Realism. Ritchie Robertson''s detailed introduction places the stories in their intellectual and historical context and explores their compelling narrative complexities. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

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

E. T. A. Hoffmann’s classic tales of Gothic horror and fantasy are presented in a new translation accompanying the beguiling drawings of Natalie Frank “Sumptuous. . . . [Natalie Frank’s] artwork . . . is gruesome perfection.”—Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was one of the greatest German Romantic authors of fantasy and a pioneer in the genre we now call Gothic horror. His innovative stories explore ideas of madness, genius, doppelgängers, artificial intelligence, and the boundaries between realities and dreams. Artist Natalie Frank and leading fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes have joined forces in this lavishly illustrated volume of five of Hoffmann’s most influential tales: The Golden Pot, The Sandman, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, The Mystifying Child, and The Mines of Falun. In addition to offering fresh translations, Zipes introduces the project and sheds light on how Hoffmann’s lifetime of personal traumas shaped his writing. Frank’s richly rendered gouache and chalk pastels reveal Hoffmann’s worlds in full-page drawings and marginalia. Pivotal scenes of transformation, courage, love, desire, and betrayal are illustrated through a feminist lens, focusing on strong, self-aware female characters. A foreword by novelist Karen Russell delves into the influence the tales had on her own literary career and the ways in which she emulates Hoffmann today. The Wounded Storyteller will introduce Hoffmann’s timeless work to a new generation of readers.

This book contains the first complete translation in English of E. T. A. Hoffmann's major musical writings, complementing the well-known Tales. It offers, therefore, a long-awaited opportunity to assess the thought and influence of one of the most famous of all writers on music and the musical links with his fiction. Containing the first complete appearance in English of Kreisleriana, it reveals a masterpiece of imaginative writing whose title is familiar to musicians (from Robert Schumann's piano cycle) and whose profound humour and irony can now be fully appreciated. This volume offers translations aiming at the greatest fidelity to Hoffmann, as well as musical accuracy in the reviews. David Charlton's three introductory essays provide extensive information on the background to Romantic music criticism; on the origins and internal structure of Kreisleriana; and on Hoffmann and opera. A concluding essay by the late Friedrich Schnapp lists Hoffmann's planned reviews and those mistakenly attributed to him.

One of five beloved Christmas classics Written in 1816 by one of the leaders of German Romanticism for his children, nephews, and nieces, The Nutcracker captures better than any other story a child’s wonder at Christmas. The gift of a handsomely decorated nutcracker from a mysterious uncle sets the stage for a Christmas Eve like no other for the little girl Marie. That night, Marie’s extraordinary present comes to life, defends her from the taunting Mouse King, and whisks her off to the Kingdom of Dolls. The inspiration for the classic ballet, E. T. A. Hoffmann’s irresistible tale of magic and childhood adventure continues to captivate readers of all ages. Today, many of the most enchanting symbols of Christmas, from nutcrackers to sugar plums to mistletoe, are still imbued with the power of this story. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

On Christmas Eve, Marie finds a Nutcracker doll among the family’s gifts and is charged by her parents to take special care of it. Under the cover of darkness, the Nutcracker comes to life, along with an evil Mouse King with seven heads, introducing Marie to the magical world of toys, and the brave Nutcracker who will change her life forever.
E. T. A. Hoffman’s timeless and whimsical tale has become a Christmas classic since it was first published in 1816. It has been adapted numerous times, most notably for the ballet scored by Pyotr Ilyich Tchikovsky in 1892. Though the ballet was not immediately a success, it has become immensely popular since the late 1960s and is performed every year during the holidays by ballet companies around the world.

E. T. A. Hoffmann is seen as a pioneer of both Romanticism and fantasy literature, and his novella, Mademoiselle de Scudéri: A Tale from the Times of Louis XIV is often cited as the first ever detective story. Hoffman''s story ''The Sandman'' provided both the inspiration for Léo Delibes''s ballet Coppélia, and the basis for a highly influential essay by Sigmund Freud, called ''The Uncanny''. Indeed, Freud referred to Hoffman as the "unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature." Many of the demonic and thriller stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This early work by E. T. A. Hoffmann was originally published in 1819. Born in Königsberg, East Prussia in 1776, Hoffmann''s family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffman went on to produce a great range of both literary and musical works. Probably Hoffman''s most well-known story, produced in 1816, is ''The Nutcracker and the Mouse King'', due to the fact that - some seventy-six years later - it inspired Tchaikovsky''s ballet The Nutcracker. In the same vein, his story ''The Sandman'' provided both the inspiration for Léo Delibes''s ballet Coppélia, and the basis for a highly influential essay by Sigmund Freud, called ''The Uncanny''. (Indeed, Freud referred to Hoffman as the "unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature.")
