{"product_id":"tales-of-hoffmann-isbn-9780140443929","title":"Tales of Hoffmann","description":"A lawyer by day and a creator of a world of fantasy by night, Hoffman (1776-1822) lived a Jekyll and Hyde existence. Many of the characters in his stories are subject to a similar split personality.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The duality of his nature is frequently reflected in some of his characters—Cardillac the goldsmith in \u003ci\u003eMademoiselle de Scudéry \u003c\/i\u003eand Nathaniel in \u003ci\u003eThe Sandman\u003c\/i\u003e, for example. Cardillac is a virtuous, industrious man by day but a violent criminal at night, while Nathaniel, obsessed by a childhood fantasy, is driven to madness and cruelty.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e These tales can be read on several levels: as an expression of the concerns of the Romantic era, as impressive examples of German Romantic literature and as exciting works of fiction made all the more extraordinary by their concern with the supernatural and the bizarre.Tales of HoffmanIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMademoiselle de Scudery\u003cbr\u003eThe Sandman\u003cbr\u003eThe Artushof\u003cbr\u003eCouncillor Krespel\u003cbr\u003eThe Entail\u003cbr\u003eDoge and Dogaressa\u003cbr\u003eThe Mines at Falun\u003cbr\u003eThe Choosing of the Bride\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eR.
