E.T.A.霍夫曼的经典哥特式恐怖与幻想故事，配以娜塔莉·弗兰克迷人的插图，以全新译本呈现。

 

“《娜塔莉·弗兰克的》艺术作品……奢华至极……完美展现了恐怖之美。”——《华尔街日报》梅根·考克斯·格登

 

E.T.A.霍夫曼（1776-1822）是德国最伟大的浪漫主义幻想文学作家之一，也是我们现今所称的哥特式恐怖文学的先驱。他的创新故事探讨了疯狂、天才、二重身、人工智能以及现实与梦境之间的界限等主题。艺术家娜塔莉·弗兰克与著名的童话学者杰克·齐佩斯携手合作，在这本装帧华丽的书中收录了霍夫曼最具影响力的五个故事：《金罐》、《睡魔》、《胡桃夹子与鼠王》、《谜样的孩子》和《法伦矿坑》。

 

除了提供全新的译本，齐佩斯还介绍了这个项目，并揭示了霍夫曼一生的个人创伤如何塑造了他的写作风格。弗兰克以细腻的树胶水彩和粉笔素描，通过全页插图和边饰，生动展现了霍夫曼笔下的世界。她以女性主义的视角，描绘了转变、勇气、爱情、欲望和背叛等关键场景，聚焦于坚强、自我意识强烈的女性角色。小说家凯伦·罗素在前言中深入探讨了这些故事对她个人文学生涯的影响，以及她如今如何效仿霍夫曼。这本《受伤的讲故事者》将把霍夫曼这部永恒的作品介绍给新一代的读者。

 

E. T. A. Hoffmann’s classic tales of Gothic horror and fantasy are presented in a new translation accompanying the beguiling drawings of Natalie Frank

 

“Sumptuous. . . . [Natalie Frank’s] artwork . . .  is gruesome perfection.”—Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal

 

E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) was one of the greatest German Romantic authors of fantasy and a pioneer in the genre we now call Gothic horror. His innovative stories explore ideas of madness, genius, doppelg?ngers, artificial intelligence, and the boundaries between realities and dreams. Artist Natalie Frank and leading fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes have joined forces in this lavishly illustrated volume of five of Hoffmann’s most influential tales: The Golden Pot, The Sandman, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, The Mystifying Child, and The Mines of Falun.

 

In addition to offering fresh translations, Zipes introduces the project and sheds light on how Hoffmann’s lifetime of personal traumas shaped his writing. Frank’s richly rendered gouache and chalk pastels reveal Hoffmann’s worlds in full-page drawings and marginalia. Pivotal scenes of transformation, courage, love, desire, and betrayal are illustrated through a feminist lens, focusing on strong, self-aware female characters. A foreword by novelist Karen Russell delves into the influence the tales had on her own literary career and the ways in which she emulates Hoffmann today. The Wounded Storyteller will introduce Hoffmann’s timeless work to a new generation of readers.
