E. T. A. Hoffmann's Gesammelte Schriften, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of the German folktale and legend, particularly as it relates to the figure of the devil. The author, a noted expert in German folklore, draws on a wide range of sources to provide a detailed and comprehensive overview of the subject. The book begins by examining the historical development of the devil figure in German folklore, from its roots in pre-Christian mythology to its later Christianization. The author then goes on to discuss the various roles that the devil plays in German folktales, from his appearance as a tempter and trickster to his role as a more benevolent figure who helps humans in need. One of the most striking things about this book is the author's ability to show how the devil figure in German folklore is often a reflection of the society in which it was created. For example, during the Middle Ages, the devil was often seen as a symbol of the dangers of heresy and witchcraft, while in the 19th century, he was more likely to be seen as a symbol of industrialization and the rise of capitalism. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples of German folktales and legends that feature the devil. These stories are not only entertaining, but they also provide valuable insights into the German psyche and the way that Germans have grappled with the forces of good and evil throughout history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780331911558_0
