Yet few horror fans have ever read his works. Many have never even heard his name. Today he is most famous for writing the dark fantasy that Tchaikovsky fluffed up into \"The Nutcracker\" and for his proto-Freudian masterpiece of existential terror, \"The Sandman,\" but his influence demands that we give E. T. A. Hoffmann a much closer look. An expert at blending the ordinary and the uncanny, his stories were some of the first to feature supernatural invaders in a contemporary setting. Unlike Perrault or the Grimms, his macabre fairy tales aren't in a land \"far, far away\" or \"once upon a time\" - they take place in the sooty, bourgeois streets of his own time, and involve grotesque and often malformed agents of chaos piercing through the veil of the invisible world to introduce moral mayhem into the bland existence of bored daydreamers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIBRIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62517345747274,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/4404\/2826\/files\/IMG_5065.jpg?v=1782211731","url":"https:\/\/www.libris.lt\/products\/e-t-a-hoffmann-the-sandman-the-nutcracker-and-other-dark-fairy-tales","provider":"LIBRIS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
