Story
E.T.A. Hoffmanns Die Elixiere des Teufels ist ein faszinierendes Werk der deutschen Romantik, das sich durch seine komplexe Erzählstruktur und tiefgründige Themen auszeichnet. Der Roman, der 1815/16 veröffentlicht wurde, erzählt die Geschichte des Mönchs Medardus, der durch den Genuss eines teuflischen Elixiers in eine Spirale von Verbrechen und Wahnsinn gerät. Hoffmann nutzt eine verschachtelte Erzählweise, die die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Wahnsinn verschwimmen lässt. Die Erzählung ist in Form von Memoiren gestaltet, was dem Leser einen intimen Einblick in Medardus' inneres Chaos gewährt.

El hombre de la arena de E. T. A. Hoffmann comienza con un intercambio de cartas entre Nathanael; Clara, su prometida, y Lothar, hermano de ella. Nathanael, que está en otra ciudad debido a sus estudios universitarios, confiesa en su manuscrito un miedo que lo atormenta desde la infancia: el hombre de la arena, un siniestro ser que, según la leyenda, le roba los ojos a los niños por la noche. Nathanael está seguro de que, cuando era niño, este ser asumió la identidad de Coppelius, el abogado de la familia, quien terminó asesinando a su padre.

Story
Er sei stolz auf seinen berühmten Vorfahren, den gestiefelten Kater, behauptet Kater Murr. Nun: sprechende Katzen sind in der Literatur wahrlich keine Seltenheit. Doch schon in den Lebensansichten des Katers Murr von E. T. A. Hoffmann, einem 200 Jahre alten Text, tritt ein Kater höchstpersönlich als Autor und Erzähler in Erscheinung und offeriert der Nachwelt seine Weisheiten und Erkenntnisse. Dummerweise benutzt er dafür bereits beschriebene Papiere, nämlich die Manuskriptseiten des Kapellmeisters Kreisler, die er bei seinem Herrn findet.

Story
Er war eine der faszinierendsten Gestalten der deutschen Romantik: E. T. A. Hoffmann, preußischer Kammergerichtsrat, Dichter, Kapellmeister, Komponist und Zeichner. Lebenslang war er hin- und hergerissen zwischen seiner Liebe zur Dichtkunst und zur Musik. Er selbst hielt sich für den begabteren Musiker, wir wissen es aber heute besser: sein Eigenstes gab er in seinen Romanen und Erzählungen.

Der Student Nathanael berichtet von einer unheimlichen Begegnung: In dem Wetterglashändler Coppola glaubt er den Advokaten Coppelius, die Schreckensgestalt seiner Kindheit, wiedererkannt zu haben. Dieser hatte seinen Vater regelmäßig besucht und zu alchemistischen Experimenten verführt. Bis heute macht Nathanael ihn für den Tod des Vaters verantwortlich. Von seinem Kindheitstrauma eingeholt fällt es Nathanael zusehends schwerer, zwischen Wahn und Wirklichkeit zu unterscheiden und so bleibt ihm am Ende nur die Flucht in den Freitod.

In dieser psychologisch abgezirkelten Schauergeschichte greift Hoffmann ein Thema auf, das zu seiner Zeit für großes Aufsehen sorgte: Der Magnetismus, zurückgehend auf den Arzt Franz Anton Mesmer, bot ausreichend Raum für Phantasien und Spekulationen über Hypnose und Wunderheilung. E.T.A. Hoffmann verwebt Traum und Wirklichkeit, Phantasie und Wahnsinn und versetzt damit den Hörer in eine phantastische Traumwelt.

Story
Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.

Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.
