The Jesuits' Church in G---- (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

By E.T.A. Hoffmann

A painter's genius curdles into obsession in this shadowed tale of art, longing, and possible damnation, one of the darkest jewels from a master of the German uncanny.

First collected in Hoffmann's Night Pieces, The Jesuits' Church in G---- follows a traveller who befriends a gifted artist tormented by an unreachable ideal and the woman who haunts his canvases. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822), the Konigsberg-born jurist, composer, and critic at the heart of German Romanticism, made the divided artist his great subject, and few of his stories cut as deep.
