If you had a lens that allowed you to know the other's thoughts, could you destroy the lens by respecting your lover's privacy to protect your love? Hoffmann, who was described by Freud as the unrivaled master of the monote in literature, blended the real and dream world with his usual mastery in Master Piraeus, starting from the issue of how the consequences would be if we had the chance to know the thoughts of people and delicately criticized the dogmatic ideas of the period. It was a work that I enjoyed a lot while reading and admired Hoffman's imagination and subtle sense of humor again.
