"The Sandman" (German: Der Sandmann, 1816) is a short story written in German by E. T. A. Hoffmann. It was the first in an 1817 book of stories titled Die Nachtstücke (The Night Pieces).

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, a contemporary of Beethoven, was not only a composer and music critic but also a significant figure in the late German Romantic movement. His sharp wit and poetic imagery provide insight into societal flaws and human psychology. Notably, his satirical approach in works like Master Flea led to legal challenges, resulting in censorship and revisions due to criticisms of the court system. Hoffmann's unique blend of humor and critique makes his writing both engaging and thought-provoking.

E.T.A. Hoffmann was an enormous talent writing long before the market for weird fiction came into focus. One of the first great horror magazines -- Weird Tales -- stole the title of this two-volume collection without so much as a note of thanks! Anyway, if you like weird fiction (probably a better word for the genre than horror), you'll love Hoffmann's Weird Tales.

Ranging from macabre fantasies to fairy tales and tales of crime, these stories from the author of The Nutcracker create a rich fictional world. Hoffman paints a complex vision of humanity, where people struggle to establish identities in a hostile, absurd world. "The editors have made an excellent selection, and the result is a book of great distinction."—Denis Donoghue, New York Review of Books "The translators have proved fully equal to all the challenges of Hoffmann's romantic irony and his richly allusive prose, giving us an accurate and idiomatic rendering that also retains much of the original flavor."—Harry Zohn, Saturday Review
