Summary: "Deutsche Humoristen, 6. Band (von 8)" by E. T. A. Hoffmann et al. is a collection of humorous tales written in the early 20th century. This volume specifically highlights wit and satire from various authors, including Hoffmann himself, and aims to entertain readers with a range of comedic narratives. The collection draws upon the rich tradition of German humor, emphasizing hearty laughter and lighthearted tales that resonate even in later periods. At the start of the compilation, readers are introduced to “Klein Zaches genannt Zinnober,” a story featuring a fantastical character named Zinnober, who is a hideous changeling child. The chapter depicts how a good fairy gifts Zinnober with a magical power that allows him to claim the talents and merits of those around him, elevating him in society despite his lack of true abilities. This absurdity leads to comical situations as Zinnober navigates various social settings, including a literary tea hosted by Professor Mosch Terpin, igniting jealousy and intrigue among other characters, particularly a student named Balthasar who seeks the affection of Candida. The opening sets a lively tone, blending slapstick humor with social commentary typical of the literature of its time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
