Many of the characters in his stories are subject to a similar split personality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe duality of his nature is frequently reflected in some of his characters-Cardillac the goldsmith in Mademoiselle de Scud'ery and Nathaniel in The Sandman, for example. Cardillac is a virtuous, industrious man by day but a violent criminal at night, while Nathaniel, obsessed by a childhood fantasy, is driven to madness and cruelty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese tales can be read on several levels: as an expression of the concerns of the Romantic era, as impressive examples of German Romantic literature and as exciting works of fiction made all the more extraordinary by their concern with the supernatural and the bizarre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140443929\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.78 Inches, Length: 5.13 Inches, Weight: 0.65697754076 Pounds, Width: 0.74 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"E.T.A.
