«Der Goldne Topf» is the romantic fairy tale by E. T. A. Hoffmann, published by Reclam in paperback (128 pages, in German).
The student Anselmus is torn between the bourgeois, philistine life of Dresden and a wondrous world that draws him toward Atlantis. The tale, told with humour and irony, plays with the boundaries between the real and the fantastic and reflects on imagination and poetic creation.
The work was originally published in 1814 and belongs to the series Fantasiestücke in Callots Manier. It corresponds to number 101 of Reclams Universal-Bibliothek.
Recommended for students of German literature and for readers interested in European Romanticism.
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.
