The Gospel According to Pilat by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Description
The Sandman (Der Sandmann) by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a foundational work of Gothic and psychological fiction first published in 1816. The narrative follows Nathanael, a sensitive young man haunted since childhood by the terrifying myth of a figure who steals children’s eyes. As he grows older, his obsession with a mysterious inventor and an uncanny artificial woman drives him toward paranoia and psychological collapse. Blurring the boundaries between dream and reality, Hoffmann crafts a disturbing exploration of trauma, perception, and the instability of the human mind. The story’s themes later influenced psychoanalytic theory—especially the concept of the uncanny explored by Sigmund Freud—and it remains a central text for readers interested in Gothic literature, early horror, and philosophical reflections on fear and identity.
