Hoffmann’s classic tales of Gothic horror and fantasy are presented in a new translation accompanying the beguiling drawings of Natalie Frank.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eE. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was one of the greatest German Romantic authors of fantasy and a pioneer in the genre we now call Gothic horror. His innovative stories explore ideas of madness, genius, doppelgängers, artificial intelligence, and the boundaries between realities and dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArtist Natalie Frank and leading fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes have joined forces in this lavishly illustrated volume of five of Hoffmann’s most influential tales: \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Pot\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Sandman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Nutcracker and the Mouse King\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mystifying Child\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Mines of Falun\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to offering fresh translations, Zipes introduces the project and sheds light on how Hoffmann’s lifetime of personal traumas shaped his writing. Frank’s richly rendered gouache and chalk pastels reveal Hoffmann’s worlds in full-page drawings and marginalia. Pivotal scenes of transformation, courage, love, desire, and betrayal are illustrated through a feminist lens, focusing on strong, self-aware female characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA foreword by novelist Karen Russell delves into the influence the tales had on her own literary career and the ways in which she emulates Hoffmann today. \u003ci\u003eThe Wounded Storyteller\u003c\/i\u003e will introduce Hoffmann’s timeless work to a new generation of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853354881260,"sku":"9780300263190","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24629643482294.jpg?v=1759198280","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-wounded-storyteller-by-e-t-a-hoffmann-9780300263190","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
