Klein Zaches, Genannt Zinnober

Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober

by E. T. A. Hoffmann

Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober ist eine satirische Erzählung von E.T.A. Hoffmann, die sich mit den Themen Schein und Sein, Macht und Korruption auseinandersetzt. Die Geschichte erzählt von einem hässlichen und dummen Wechselbalg, der durch einen magischen Zauber plötzlich als wunderschön und intelligent wahrgenommen wird. Diese Täuschung führt ihn auf einen kometenhaften Aufstieg an den Hof eines Fürsten. Währenddessen wird der wahre Held, ein romantischer Dichter, aufgrund des Zaubers als Narr und Außenseiter angesehen. Die Geschichte deckt humorvoll und gleichzeitig kritisch die menschliche Leichtgläubigkeit und die Blindheit gegenüber dem wahren Wert auf.
