Wortsman Peter - The Golden Pot And Other Tales Of The Uncanny - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Whether a surrealist exploration of the anxieties surrounding automation or a mystery concerning a goldsmith missing jewels and a spate of murders each tale in this collection reveals the complexities of human desire and fear. Music and madness are tightly wound strands flowing through E. T. A. Hoffmann's phantasmagoric stories. The ringing of crystal bells heralds the arrival of a beguiling snake and a student's descent into lunacy; a young man abandons his betrothed for a woman who plays the piano skillfully but seems worryingly wooden; a counselor's daughter must choose between singing and her life. Peter Wortsman's masterful new translation allows Hoffmann's distinct and influential style to shine while breathing new life into stories that seem both familiar and uncanny.
