«Cuentos de Hoffmann» is the collection of fantastic tales by E.T.A. Hoffmann, published by Anaya in hardback (304 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together four of E.T.A. Hoffmann's best stories, including The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and The Sandman, in which the everyday blends with the supernatural, madness and mystery. The edition includes an introduction by Luis Mateo Díez and illustrations by several Spanish artists, and is designed to introduce young readers to the classics of German Romanticism.
The work comes from the anthology Märchen, originally published in 1817. This Anaya edition, part of the Cuentos, Mitos y Libros-Regalo collection, is recommended for readers aged 10 to 12.
Ideal for young readers starting out in classic narrative and for those seeking an illustrated edition of Hoffmann's best-known tales.
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.
