Welcome to Litsy!

A typical E.T.A. Hoffmann and a good example for Dark Romantic. It was a bit too long for me though, so it lost some of it's suspense. The plot is based on Christian topics, the MC is a monk, but as we deal with Hoffmann a lot is going on a psychological level. Some even say it's one of the earliest dealings of split personalities. It's not my favourite Hoffmann, but it was nice to revisit his dark and atmospheric world.

ETA Hoffmann wrote a book based on The Monk?! I'm going to need to read it! Have you read it @Bookwomble ?
