--------------
Nachtstⁿcke is a tribute to the world of the paranormal, especially to the
mesmerism that permeated the exalted work of E.T.A. Hoffmann. Hoffmann was not
only a man of letters, but also a musician and a painter. During his lifetime,
he published many stories, some later profoundly influencing Poe. We could
mention 'The Devil's Elixirs', 'The Sandman', and "Vampirismus". History,
technique and style are the tools to create a masterpiece, which the author uses
to create chilling, dramatic and deep stories where many of the innovative ideas
are anticipated, from which many writers and musicians would be nurtured,
including Strauss at Elektra .
The environments are gloomy. The night, the silence, the inexplicable forces of
nature serve as a resource to accentuate the horror. The outcome, like any good
story, leaves a doubt about death and madness, since both serve as an appetizer
to a constant engine: fear. As Adolfo Bioy Casares would say "old as fear,
fantastic fictions come before letters".
"Nachtstⁿcke" is a look at that universe where disturbing characters live that
become oracles, supposedly trivial images that contain a mystery, as well as
threatening inventions that never cease to amaze us. Thus, dreams, magnetism,
telekinesis, sleepwalking, hunches, premonition, and telepathy compose the stuff
of this disturbing reality. That parallel world in which we all live, and it is
made of chance, intuitions, fears, mysteries. . . Hoffmann explored, in everyday
life, that hidden reality that can be guessed in dreams, visions, ghosts,
funeral stories, scientific machinations. In short, a world full of strange and
mysterious forces, which are capable of playing with the life and illusions of
all of us.
