Autorenporträt
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776–1822) was a German Romantic writer and composer. He specialized in fantasy and Gothic horror stories, although he also was one of the first authors to create detective stories. Hoffman was born to a family of lawyers. His life and future career were predetermined from the start, but he fell in love with classic German literature in his youth, which became his occupation. He received a brilliant education listening to the most prominent lecturers of the time, including Immanuel Kant. Many of Hoffman's works belong to the renowned masterpieces of world literature. His stories inspired many other literary, art, and science work. Tchaikovsky borrowed the subject of Hoffman's "Nutcracker and the Mouse King" for his famous opera "Nutcracker," Léo Delibes based his ballet Coppélia on Hoffman's "Sandman," and Sigmund Freud used the same work for his essay "The Uncanny."
