This volume is a part of an early eight-volume collected works of the German Romantic master E.T.A. Hoffmann, published in St. Petersburg in 1896. This specific book binds together the first two volumes of the set. The first volume includes "Night Tales" and "Fantastic Pieces in the Manner of Callot," translated by M. A. Beketova. The second volume contains "Fantastic Stories" and the first two parts of "The Serapion Brethren," translated by A. A. Sokolovsky. Published by the Panteleev Brothers printing house, a notable pre-revolutionary publisher, this edition represents the strong Russian reception of Hoffmann's phantasmagoric and influential literary world in the late 19th century. Presented in a period owner's binding and in good condition, this two-in-one volume is a valuable bibliophilic item for collectors of classic German literature in Russian translation and 19th-century Russian book art.
