E.T.A. Hoffmanns Djævelens Eliksir er en dæmonisk gyserroman om munken Medardus, der flygter fra klosteret og kaster sig ud i en lang række mord og andre forbrydelser. Er han forfulgt af sin dobbeltgænger? Ser han syner, eller er det dybderne i hans eget uhyggelige sind, han får øje på? Romanen er spændt ud mellem de menneskelige poler lyst og dyd. Den handler om sjælemystik og er ved siden af det rent realistiske, som Hoffmann forstod at finde ind til i den menneskelige psykes dybder, en skarp udlevering af religiøst hysteri.

We are a people of stories. We use them to entertain, to teach, and to instruct.

Not only do they keep us entertained, but they also make a point. Consider Aesop’s fables—tales of talking animals who learn valuable life lessons.
