Nötknäpparen
Den tyske författaren och kompositören Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffman (1776-1822) tillhörde den romantiska skolan men hittade en egen stil som utmärktes av en blandning av realism och fantasi. Många konstnärer har inspirerats av Hoffman, som exempelvis Jacques Offenbach som använde tre berättelser av Hoffman som grund för sin opera Hoffmans äventyr och Tjajkovskij som fick idén till baletten Nötknäpparen av Hoffmans verk. Sagan om Nötknäpparen börjar nog så idylliskt med en skildring av en julafton. Men snart dras läsaren in i en hemlighetsfull och magisk värld där det trygga och ombonade flätas samman med det oförutsägbara, det groteska och skräckfyllda.

The Nutcracker and the Mouse-King
A children's Christmas story by E. T. A. Hoffmann, 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse-King' is the magical adventure of Marie Stahlbaum's favourite toy, the Nutcracker, who battles the nefarious Mouse-King in battle and takes the reader on a wonderful adventure, into a magical land of dolls. Probably Hoffman's most well-known story, produced in 1816, due to the fact that - some seventy-six years later - it inspired Tchaikovsky's ballet 'The Nutcracker'. A true Christmas classic, perfect for festive bedtime reading for adults and children a-like. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822) was born in K nigsberg, East Prussia. Hoffmann's family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffman went on to produce a great range of both

E.t.a. Hoffmann
E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) is celebrated for his supernatural fiction such as 'The Sandman' as well as his musical achievements, notably the opera Undine.
