About Author:
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 Copplia 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.
