Tomcat Moore's Outlook on Life and Bandleader Kreisler's Biography
by I
About This Novel
This book is the author's masterpiece, marking the peak of Hoffmann's creation and an excellent work of German Romanticism. The novel consists of two parts: a biography of Tomcat Moore and a biography of bandleader Kreisler. Starting from the needs of satire, Moore's biography imitates the so-called development novels about the protagonist's growth process such as Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister", and uses a self-narrative mode to describe the growth experience of a well-educated tomcat who likes to dance and write. The biography of Kreisler records a rough life path of a talented artist, whose life path has the shadow of the author himself. Judging from the title of the novel, the former is the main body of the work. In fact, the latter is the core of the novel. The form is loose, but the theme is consistent. They both deal with the relationship between artists and society.
