The Serapion Brethren, Vol. II

Опис

"The Serapion Brethren, Vol. II" by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a collection of novellas and fairytales published between 1819-1821. Part of a four-volume work, it presents stories through a fictional framework of six friends who meet to share tales and discuss whether they adhere to a mysterious "Serapion Principle." The collection draws from Hoffmann's previously scattered works, unified by the conversations and critiques of its narrators, creating a story-within-a-story structure that blends literature with literary theory.
