The Contest of the Singers conjures the legendary world of medieval Germany.First published in 1818 within The Serapion Brethren, this stirring tale reimagines the fabled song-contest of the thirteenth century, where poets such as Heinrich von Ofterdingen and Wolfram von Eschenbach compete and a pact with a sinister sorcerer threatens all. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822), born in K nigsberg, East Prussia, was a composer and a central figure of German Romanticism, and music sings through every page.Read & Co. Books is honoured to republish this evocative tale in a beautiful edition worthy of its place in the literary canon.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/44/746/571/1447465717_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "21.99", "online_price" : "21.99", "our_price" : "21.99", "club_price" : "21.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
