Nutcracker And Mouse-King

This illustrated edition of Nutcracker and Mouse-King is a new translation of E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 fairytale masterpiece Nuknacker und Mausekonig, which served as the basis for the famous and beloved holiday-season ballet The Nutcracker. This translation of Hoffmann's best-known literary work takes on the challenges in restoring the rich detail, rhythm, and content of the original storyline, so often abridged, embroidered, or rewritten in earlier translations. Prepared for the 200th anniversary of the work's first publication, this edition is graced with lush cover art and lovely chapter-heading illustrations. It includes translator's notes that provide depth and insight into the linguistic, historical, and cultural contexts of Hoffmann's world of early 19th Century Prussia.
