The Life of a Well-Known Character

About this book

By turns playful and quietly unsettling, this rediscovered curiosity finds one of Romanticism's great imaginations turning his wit on fame, folly, and the odd afterlives we invent for others.

First published in 1819, The Life of a Well-Known Character belongs to the flowering of fantastical writing that made Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 – 1822) one of the most beloved and influential storytellers of the age. A jurist, composer, and pioneering critic born in Konigsberg, East Prussia, he brought a musician's ear and a lawyer's eye for character to fiction that would shape generations of the weird and the uncanny.
