Ernst Theodor Amate Hoffmann (1776-1822), conceiving his" elixirs of Satan ", was about to show how he himself wrote," on the example of a bizarre, amazing life of a person, over which heavenly and demonic forces dominated from birth, all the mysterious ties of the human spirit With the highest principles. " It turned out "Roman-head, Roman-Roman. Or, if you like, a novel is a system of mirrors, where no one and nothing exists in the singular, and everything is repeated, is reflected in one another "(Evgeny Klyuyev) The Medard monk, on behalf of which Hoffmann tells a heartbreaking story, cannot resist the temptation to taste the devilish elixir, who arouses the lowest passions in him - up to the murder and bloodstormation. All the described horrors described in detail are stylized as a Gothic romance popular at that time, but in some places they clearly parody him. In this, Hoffman was definitely ahead of his century, as if looking these days, when horror became the usual entertainment for the mass reader. For everyone who loves to be afraid "," elixirs of Satan "are one of the masterpieces.
