Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober: Ein Märchen by E. T. A. Hoffmann
"Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober: Ein Märchen" by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a literary fairy tale published in 1819. The story follows a deformed dwarf named Zaches who receives a magical gift from a fairy: all achievements and talents of those around him are credited to him instead. As Zaches rises through society under his new identity "Zinnober," his victims watch helplessly while he claims their accomplishments. Through this grotesque tale, Hoffmann
satirizes both Enlightenment rationalism and social hypocrisy in early 19th-century German principalities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
