Sinossi

🎄 A magical Christmas. A brave Nutcracker. A battle between dreams and nightmares.

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann is the original and darker, more whimsical tale that inspired the beloved ballet. First published in 1816, this classic story follows young Marie Stahlbaum as she is swept into a fantastical world of toy soldiers, sugar kingdoms, and a fearsome seven-headed Mouse King—all triggered by a mysterious gift: a wooden Nutcracker.

🧚 Enter a world where toys come to life, mice wage war, and dreams hold hidden truths.
Hoffmann's tale is richly imaginative, layered with fantasy, surrealism, and charm. Unlike the more sanitized adaptations, this version preserves the story's deeper themes of bravery, loyalty, and the strange beauty of childhood wonder.

    A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
BOOK 8: As we are now entering upon a book in which the course of our history will oblige us to relate some matters of a more strange and surprizing kind than any which have hitherto occurred, it may not be amiss, in the prolegomenous or introductory chapter, to say something of that species of writing which is called the marvellous.
