Sinossi

"A satirical masterpiece of dual narratives – Hoffmann’s inventive novel that intertwines the memoirs of a learned cat with the life of a tormented composer. 
In The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr, E. T. A. Hoffmann presents a unique literary experiment: the autobiography of an erudite feline, Murr, whose manuscript is accidentally interleaved with the biography of the melancholic musician Johannes Kreisler. This juxtaposition creates a rich tapestry of humor, irony, and philosophical musings.  
Murr's self-important and often comically misguided reflections contrast sharply with Kreisler's introspective and troubled existence, offering a commentary on the nature of art, identity, and the human (and feline) condition. Hoffmann's novel is a pioneering work that challenges narrative conventions and invites readers to question the reliability of storytelling. 
After listening to this book, you will learn: 
• the innovative narrative structure that blends two distinct stories; 
• insights into Romantic-era views on art and individuality; 
• the use of satire to critique societal norms and pretensions; 
• the exploration of duality in character and narrative voice; 
• the enduring influence of Hoffmann's experimental storytelling. 
The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr is a whimsical yet profound novel that continues to captivate readers with its originality and depth."
