Beschreibung

When a string of savage murders terrorises the jewellers of Louis XIV's Paris, an elderly poet becomes an unlikely sleuth. Mademoiselle de Scuderi is one of the earliest and finest detective stories ever written.
First published in 1819, this gripping tale of crime, obsession, and justice predates Poe and Conan Doyle, and unfolds amid the perfumed intrigue of seventeenth-century France. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822), the Königsberg-born jurist and composer, was a central figure of German Romanticism and a pioneer of the mystery form.

Über den Autor

Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann, German Romantic writer, composer, and artist, is known for his stories in which supernatural and sinister characters move in and out of men's lives, ironically revealing tragic or grotesque sides of human nature.
The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (German: Nussknacker und Mausekonig) was written in 1816. Young Mary Stahlbaum's favorite Christmas toy, the Nutcracker, comes to life, and after defeating the evil seven-headed Mouse King in battle, whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. Dark undertones hover around the sometimes oddly sinister Godfather Drosselmeier.
The 1845 adaptation by Alexandre Dumas père, "The History of the Nutcracker," was the basis for the famed and beloved Nutcracker ballet by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, scored by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Its annual performance has become a Christmas tradition in many venues.
