As Paris is shaken by a gang of murderous thieves, the aristocratic
Mademoiselle de Scuderi pens a poem to poke fun at the cowardly
lovers who now fear to go out at night to see their mistresses. But
when she receives an unexpected visit from a young man, who gives
her a box of jewels with a note thanking her for supporting the
robbers' cause, the elderly writer is plunged into a dangerous web
of passion, intrigue and murder. First published in 1819 to great
acclaim, and displaying all the author's trademark wit and
ingenuity, E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale has inspired and delighted
writers and readers ever since, and remains a benchmark for all
modern crime novels.
