Lebensansichten des Katers Murr nebst fragmentarischer Biographie des Kapellmeisters Johannes Kreisler in zufälligen Makulaturblättern is a unique literary canvas by the German writer E. T. A. Hoffmann. The book consists of two independent stories that intertwine and interact with each other, revealing to us the world of existence of two quite different, but gifted babies - the cat Murr and the Kapellmeister Johannes Kreisler. In the first part, we get the opportunity to observe the background, thoughts and experiences of Murr the cat himself, who, as it turns out, has very human qualities and reflects on the complexities of life and the purpose of his existence. The second part of the book is devoted to the story of Kapellmeister Kreisler, a musical genius, his talent, as well as his professional and personal life. Hoffmann, as always, surprises with his writing skills, allegorical and philosophical background. He deftly combines reality and fantasy, thundering in the images of the cat Murr and Kreisler the depth of human nature and the complexity of existence. This book is not only a delusion of literary genius E. T. A. Hoffman, but also a reflection on art, beauty and paradoxes of our life.
