E. T. A. Hoffmann, originally encouraged to pursue law, shifted his focus to literature and philosophy, influenced by German classicists and thinkers like Kant. His renowned story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" inspired Tchaikovsky's famous ballet, while "The Sandman" influenced both Léo Delibes's ballet "Coppélia" and Freud's essay "The Uncanny." Hoffmann is celebrated as a master of the uncanny in literature, and this republished work reflects the enduring significance of his contributions to both literary and musical realms.
