Features: In the center of the city, a man named Theodor sits on a long bench, talking to himself in front of a mirror. He often experiences hallucinations and feels an indescribable pain, sensing something inside him stronger than himself. After being diagnosed by a psychiatrist, he is found to have neurasthenia. He shows his mirror to the doctor, who, after looking at it, suddenly turns pale and becomes dazed. Hoffmann's novel depicts the power of the superconscious in early 19th-century Berlin. A rogue is forced to become a sacrifice to ancient forces. This book is a condensed version, followed by a wealth of reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and culturally themed background knowledge. Learners can use this as a foundation for interdisciplinary writing. The book comes with one CD.
