Sandmann

Sandmann

by E. T. A. Hoffmann

Der Sandmann ist ein düsterer und psychologisch komplexer Roman, der die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Fantasie verwischt. Nathanael, ein junger Student, ist von der Kindheit geprägt durch die traumatische Figur des Sandmanns, eine furchteinflößende Gestalt, die Kindern die Augen ausreißt. Als Nathanael in seiner Umgebung eine ähnliche Figur wiederzuerkennen glaubt, gerät er in eine Spirale aus Verwirrung, Angst und Wahn. Seine Liebe zu Olimpia, einer rätselhaften Puppe, verschärft seine Probleme noch weiter. Der Roman behandelt Themen wie Kindheitstraumata, die Unberechenbarkeit des Wahnsinns, die Macht der Illusion und die Sehnsucht nach Liebe und Verständnis.
