Choosing the Bride

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776-1822) is known to the world primarily as the author of The Nutcracker. It is less known that E. T. A. Hoffmann is also a pioneer of magic realism, whose works influenced generations of speculative fiction authors. "Choosing the Bride," a novella written at the break of the 19th century, predicted the existence of e-reader - a small volume one can always carry in a pocket, which could turn into any book you want.
