«Der goldne Topf» is the Lektüreschlüssel for students of E. T. A. Hoffmann's work, published by Reclam in paperback (75 pages, in German).
The guide offers ten sections: initial information, summary, characters, structure, key words, interpretation, author and era, reception, comprehension check and reading tips, plus space for notes. The tale, «Märchen aus der neuen Zeit», alternates the marvellous and the bourgeois: the student Anselmus goes from Dresden to Atlantis.
No. 15326 in Reclam's Lektüreschlüssel series; the original tale, from 1814, belongs to «Fantasiestücke in Callots Manier».
For German students preparing for exams, the Abitur or school work on the work.
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.
