The Christmas story of the 19th-century German romantic E. T. A. Hoffmann, “The Nutcracker,” delights and delights more than one generation of children and adults. Even after 200 years, it excites our imagination. Despite the fairy-tale nature of the story, the author for the first time depicts the reality of the era, and not some unknown fictional world. Once upon a time, the story of living people and living toys and the touching love of young Marie for the poor Nutcracker inspired the great Russian composer P. I. Tchaikovsky to create a ballet of the same name. The uniqueness of the publication is also in the fact that it presents the full version of Hoffmann's fairy tale.
