Summary
 Master Flea by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann. A haunting blend of fairy tale, fantasy, and philosophical whimsy, this tale follows Peregrine Tyss, a melancholy Frankfurt merchants heir who shuns society until a Christmas night changes everything. His old nurse Alinarevealed later as Dortje Elverdink and the princess Gamahehbrings him a magical Christmas trunk and a bewildering gift: Master Flea, a talking microcosmic ruler who can reveal others secret thoughts through a tiny glass. From that moment Hoffmann spirals into a collage of adventures: a flea-tamer, rival microscopists Leuwenhock and Swammerdamm, a world of miniature peoples, magical transformations, and passionate intrigues. Peregrines heart shifts between the bewitching Dortje and the plain Rose Lemmerhirt, while the two wily scientists plot to seize power and the talisman at the centre of a fateful horoscope. In a dream-vision climax, the carbuncle rekindles love and union, and Peregrines world resolves into a double marriage, where love, loyalty, and imagination triumph over suspicion and fear.©2026 Copper Creek Books Inc.
