Autorenporträt

Wilhelm Hauff (1802-1827) was a German poet and novelist best known for his fairy tales and for the collection 'The Little Glass Man, and Other Stories'. Born on November 29, 1802, in Stuttgart, Hauff's literary career was regrettably brief, due to his untimely death at the age of 25. Despite his short life, he left an indelible mark on the literary world with his imaginative and captivating stories. His works are characterized by a blend of the romantic spirit with elements of fantasy, satire, and the exotic, mirroring the 19th-century German Romantic movement (Martin and Stern, 2011). Hauff's tales often drew upon traditional folklore and fairy tales, but he gave them a unique spin, endowing them with an immediacy and vivacity that resonated with both young and adult audiences. He was adept at weaving together the fantastical with keen observations of social issues of his time (Zipes, 1997). His narrative style combines simplicity with eloquence, making his works both accessible and engaging. Although Hauff wrote novels and satirical works, today he is chiefly remembered for his fairy tales. 'The Little Glass Man and Other Stories' is a testament to his storytelling prowess and remains a treasured piece in the canon of German literature, continuing to enchant readers with its timeless magic and moral lessons. Hauff's contribution to literature, though prolific within his short life span, promises him a lasting legacy in the realm of fairy tales and fantasy literature (Heinzle, 1999).
