- Book Synopsis
- Best known as the basis for Tchaikovsky's holiday-season ballet, the 1816 fairy tale recounts a child's passion for a nutcracker toy that comes to life, battles a seven-headed mouse king, and transports his young mistress to a fantasy world. This value-priced, unabridged edition of E. T. A. Hoffman's classic Christmas tale is timed to coincide with the release of Disney's live-action motion picture.
- About The Author
- Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776-1822) replaced his third name, Wilhelm, with Amadeus in homage to Mozart. A towering figure of German Romanticism, Hoffmann was a composer, music critic, theater director, draftsman, and caricaturist as well as a writer. Although his stories challenged readers to free their minds from the conventions of reality, Hoffmann accepted the practical constraints of everyday life, training as a lawyer and serving as a judge.
