I know not who paints the pictures on memory's canvas; but whoever he may be, what he is painting are pictures; by which I mean that he is not there with his brush simply to make a faithful copy of all that is happening.

He has no compunction in putting into the background that which was to the fore, or bringing to the front that which was behind. In short he is painting pictures, and...

In seinem 1816/17 veröffentlichten zweibändigen Zyklus mit dem bezeichnenden Titel «Nachtstücke» versammelt E. T. A. Hoffmann acht Erzählungen, die das Unheimliche und Abgründige im Menschen thematisieren, die Kehrseite der Seele. Das bildkünstlerische Genre des Nachtstücks überträgt Hoffmann auf die Literatur und arbeitet wie ein Maler mit der Wirkung starker Kontraste: Licht und Dunkel, Vernunft und Wahnsinn, Realität und Phantasma liegen stets im Widerstreit.

Als Meister des subtilen Horrors und der unheimlichen Atmosphäre, erforscht er die rätselhaften, düsteren und unbewussten Aspekte des Lebens.
