Nutcracker. Hoffman E.T.A.

The Christmas story of the German romance of the 19th century Ernst Theodore Amadeus Hoffmann “The Nutcracker” pleases and delights more than one generation of children and adults. Even after 200 years, she will excite our imagination. Despite the fairy tale of the narrative, the author first depicts the reality of the era, and not some unknown fictional world. Once upon a time, the history of living people and revived toys and the touching love of young Marie for the poor Nutcracker inspired the creation of the same ballet and the great Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The uniqueness of the publication is also that it presents a full version of the Hoffmann fairy tale.
