Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann

E.T.A. Hoffmann was a German Romantic author, composer, and artist who lived from 1776 to 1822. He's best known for his fantastical and often eerie short stories, which blended elements of the supernatural with psychological insight. Hoffmann's works, like "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (which inspired Tchaikovsky's famous ballet) and "The Sandman," have had a lasting impact on literature and popular culture.

Beyond his writing, Hoffmann was also a talented musician and composer, though his musical works aren't as widely known today as his literary output. His diverse talents and vivid imagination made him a quintessential figure of the Romantic era, influencing later writers and artists with his unique blend of the uncanny and the everyday.
