Among Hoffmann's longer works are DIE ELIXIERE DES TEUFELS
(1816), which studied the theme of doppelgänger. Alternate personalities or
their shallow equivalents can be found in 'Die Abenteuer der Silvester-Nacht'
(1815), where a man meets both the shadowless Peter Schlemiel and
Erasmus Spikher, who has lost his reflection. LEBENS-ANSICHTEN DES
KATERS MURR (...), a fictional autobiography of a cat and a direct parody
of Goethe's The Apprenticeship of Wilhelm Meister, was published in two
volumes in 1820-21.
