«O caldeiro de ouro» is the fantasy novella by E. T. A. Hoffmann, published by Hugin e Munin in hardcover (124 pages, in Galician).
The student Anselmus hears the voice of Serpentina and is drawn into an unusual world: talking elder trees, guardian dragons and glass bottles with failed dreamers. The marvellous displaces logic; the fable contrasts bourgeois conformism and creative freedom, with open interpretation.
Work originally published in 1814 as «Der goldne Topf». The translation is by Jairo Dorado Cadilla and this edition appeared in January 2025.
For readers interested in Romantic fantasy and the literature of E. T. A. Hoffmann.
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.
