Hoffmann E.T.A. Jeliksiry d'javola

Hoffmann E.T.A. Jeliksiry d'javola

Author Hoffmann E.T.A.
Title Jeliksiry d'javola
Description The Devil’s Elixirs by E.T.A. Hoffmann is a Gothic novel about the monk Medardus, who writes the story of his own life. In the monastery he hears about a mysterious elixir associated with the temptation of Saint Anthony, and one day he tastes it. After this, forbidden desire awakens in him, and spiritual discipline gives way to obsession.

Hoffmann turned the Gothic novel into a theatrical experiment. Scenes of horror often feel deliberately excessive, close to dark satire. The author was testing the genre itself.

E.T.A. Hoffmann was one of the central figures of German Romanticism. He was known for joining psychological horror with whimsical fantasy and giving everyday reality an uncanny charge.
