Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann, better known by his pen name E. T. A. Hoffmann (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann), was a German Romantic author of fantasy and horror, a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's famous opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffman appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which the famous ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.

Hoffmann's stories were very influential during the 19th century, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement.

Hola a todos, este texto me ha parecido súper bueno, en el se pueden encontrar dos "relatos cortos", estos son fáciles de leer y además te atrapan enseguida. Totalmente recomendado.

Para mi, lo más importante en ambos textos, se refiere al peligro que pueden llegar a provocarte las adicciones y pensamientos obsesivos sobre alguna determinada situación.
