Auswahl aus Die Serapionsbrüder

by E. T. A. Hoffmann

Die Sammlung *Auswahl aus Die Serapionsbrüder* bietet eine Auswahl an Novellen des deutschen Schriftstellers E.T.A. Hoffmann, die in den 1820er Jahren entstanden sind. Die Geschichten werden in einer fiktiven Rahmenhandlung erzählt, in der eine Gruppe von Freunden, die sich als 'Serapionsbrüder' bezeichnen, Geschichten austauschen und diskutieren. Hoffmann selbst spielt eine Rolle in der Rahmenhandlung, indem er als der Seher Serapion auftritt und die Geschichten seiner Freunde kommentiert und interpretiert. Die Sammlung vermittelt einen Einblick in die kreative Denkweise und die literarischen Ansätze des Autors, die sich durch die Vermischung von Realismus und Fantastik, Psychologie und Mythologie auszeichnen. Die Novellen spielen mit der Grenze zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit und erforschen das Mysteriöse und Unsichtbare der menschlichen Seele. Durch die Verwendung von grotesken Figuren, rätselhaften Ereignissen und einem düsteren Ambiente erforschen die Geschichten die Dunkelheit des menschlichen Wesens und die Begrenztheit des menschlichen Wissens.
