Description
Der Sandmann (Sandman)
by E. T. A. Hoffmann

Der Sandmann (Sandman) is a 1816 (published in 1817) story by E. T. A. Hoffman. The protagonist Nathaniel, struggles his whole life against trauma which comes from an episode with the sandman in his childhood experience. Until the end of the book it remains open whether this experience was real, or just a dream of the young Nathanael. Der Sandmann is extensively interpreted by Freud in a famous 1919 essay, Das Unheimliche (The Uncanny).

E. T. A. Hoffman (January 24, 1776 - June 25, 1822) is best known for his short stories, which were very influential in the 19th century. He is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement and is one the pioneers of the fantasy genre. Hoffmann's story Das Fräulein von Scuderi is sometimes cited as the first detective story and a direct influence on Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue. His masterpiece novel Lebensansichten des Katers Murr (The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr") deals with such issues as the aesthetic status of true artistry and the modes of self-transcendence that accompany any genuine endeavor to create.
He the author of the novella Nußknacker und Mausekönig (The Nutcracker and the Mouse King), on which the famous ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.

Project Bilingual (A division of Wolf Pup Books) is a continuing project making available great original German writers' texts along with their English translation. This edition, which offers after every original language paragraph its translation, makes both grammar and vocabulary checks as painless as possible. Idiomatic forms that could be overlooked can be easily detected.
Furthermore, large paragraphs have been broken down to much smaller units so that the check is as effortless as possible. We do hope that by reading German writers that defined the language itself or whose work permeated the German culture, you will be able to get the maximum benefit from this language series. Although this edition is not a replacement for traditional methods of learning language, it is a very powerful tool to speed up the process once you have attained the intermediate level and beyond.
