«Cuentos» is the collection of fantastic tales by E. T. A. Hoffmann, published by Planeta in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
This anthology brings together some of E. T. A. Hoffmann's most celebrated tales, examples of a Romanticism that probes the uncanny and the boundaries between dream and waking. Hoffmann, also a musician, imbues several stories with musical references, such as «El caballero Gluck» and «Don Juan»; nor is «El Cascanueces o el rey de los ratones», his famous Christmas story, missing.
The volume belongs to the Austral Básicos collection and includes the translation by Carmen Gallardo de Mesa.
Recommended for those who enjoy short Romantic fiction and fantastic tales that blend the everyday with the supernatural.
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann was a German Romantic author of fantasy and gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist. His short story "The Sandman" is seen as a pioneering work of horror fiction, while his novella Mademoiselle de Scuderi is regarded as one of the earliest examples of crime fiction.
