E.T.A. Hoffmann
Hoffmann (1776 - 1822) studied law and entered the Prussian civil service, but his over-riding ambition was to become a graphic artist and painter. He turned to fiction only in his thirties and became one of the most influential authors of his time.
R.J. Hollingdale has translated eleven of Nietschze’s books and published two books about him. He has also translated works by Schopenhauer, Goethe and Fontane.
