Dwarf Zaches

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, a prominent satirist and figure of late German Romanticism, invites readers into his captivating realm of magic, where the extraordinary intertwines with the mundane. This exquisite edition brings together three of Hoffmann's most celebrated novellas: «Dwarf Zaches», «The Golden Pot» and «The Nutcracker». Hoffmann, a master of the fantastical, effortlessly transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. His tales are infused with a blend of satire, dark humor, and profound insights into the human condition.

«Dwarf Zaches» delves into the story of a grotesque dwarf who, through trickery and deceit, acquires wealth, fame, and love. This satirical tale exposes the follies and vices of society, ridiculing the human obsession with power and superficiality.
