About this audiobook
In The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, E. T. A. Hoffmann opens a magical door between the real and the fantastic. On Christmas Eve, young Marie receives a nutcracker that comes to life, leading her into a world of enchantment where toys wage battles, sweets come alive, and courage grows from innocence.
Unlike later, sweeter retellings, Hoffmann's original tale carries a haunting undertone — a story of transformation where fear and wonder coexist. Beneath its fairy-tale charm lies a reflection on childhood imagination, dreams, and the bittersweet passage to maturity.
Rich in symbolism and mystery, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is both a fable and a dreamscape — a story that continues to inspire artists, composers, and dreamers across generations. It reminds us that even the smallest heart can face the darkest magic.
