«Cuentos I» is the collection of fantastic and horror tales by E. T. A. Hoffmann, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
This first volume brings together six tales by E. T. A. Hoffmann in which the supernatural intrudes into everyday life: magnetism, sleepwalking, premonitions and telepathy shape stories such as «El hombre de la arena» and «Los autómatas», within his fantastic and romantic universe.
First part of a two-volume compilation, it belongs to the Libro de Bolsillo collection (no. 1118) and includes translation and prologue by Carmen Bravo Villasante.
A read for lovers of fantastic and horror fiction and of nineteenth-century German literary classics.
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann was a German Romantic author of fantasy and gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist. His short story "The Sandman" is seen as a pioneering work of horror fiction, while his novella Mademoiselle de Scuderi is regarded as one of the earliest examples of crime fiction.
