Little Zaches Called Cinnabar
''Little Zaches Called Cinnabar'' (german: Klein Zaches genannt Zinnober) is a 1819 satirical fairytale fantasy novella by E. T. A. Hoffmann.

Only the melancholic student Balthazar, who is in love with a beautiful ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
