Hoffman helped start "The Knickerbocker" magazine and edited the first three issues. Under the strain of work, he went insane in 1849, supposedly after a servant used his manuscripts to start a fire. He was declared permanently insane and diagnosed with chronic mania, or manic-depressive psychosis. He spent the last 30 years of his life in the Harrisburg State Hospital in Pennsylvania.
This is one the only examples of prose I could find of Hoffman's. It takes place in the Croton Distributing Reservoir that used to be in lower Manhattan. The reservoir should be familiar to you if you've ever read "The Waterworks" by E. L. Doctorow.

THE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, is a trade name of a series of educational and instructional video tapes.Leaves From the Diary of a ReclusePDCS2162024-09-01 | A reading of the short story "Leaves From the Diary of a Recluse" from the mostly forgotten 19th-century American poet, writer, teacher, and socialite Anne Charlotte Lynch Botta, who is mostly known today for her association with Edgar Allan Poe and other more well known authors of the day. This is the only prose fiction work of hers I could find and it was originally published anonymously in the annual “The Gift: A Christmas And New Year's Present 1845” but revealed to be authored by her by Edgar Allan Poe in his "Literati of New York" series for "Godey’s Lady’s Book" in 1846
Poe wrote of her:
"Miss Anne Charlotte Lynch has written little; — her compositions are even too few to be collected in volume form. Her prose has been, for the most part, anonymous — critical papers in “The New York Mirror” and elsewhere, with unacknowledged contributions to the annuals, especially “The Gift,” and “The Diadem,” both of Philadelphia. Her “Diary of a Recluse,” published in the former work, is, perhaps, the best specimen of her prose manner and ability. I remember, also, a fair critique on Fanny Kemble's poems; — this appeared in “The Democratic Review.”
In poetry, however, she has done better, and given evidence of at least unusual talent. Some of her compositions in this way are of merit, and one or two of excellence. In the former class I place her “Bones in the Desert,” published in “The Opal” for 1846, her “Farewell to Ole Bull,” first printed in “The Tribune,” and one or two of her sonnets — not forgetting some graceful and touching lines on the death of Mrs. Willis. In the latter class I place two noble poems, “The Ideal” and “The Ideal Found.” These should be considered as one, for each is by itself imperfect. In modulation and vigor of rhythm, in dignity and elevation of sentiment, in metaphorical appositeness and accuracy, and in energy of expression, I really do not know where to point out anything American much superior to them. Their ideality is not so manifest as their passion, but I think it an unusual indication of taste in Miss Lynch, or (more strictly) of an intuitive sense of poetry's true nature, that this passion is just sufficiently subdued to lie within the compass of the poetic art, within the limits of the beautiful. A step farther and it might have passed them. Mere passion, however exciting, prosaically excites; it is in its very essence homely, and delights in homeliness: but the triumph over passion, as so finely depicted in the two poems mentioned, is one of the purest and most idealizing manifestations of moral beauty.
In character Miss Lynch is enthusiastic, chivalric, self-sacrificing, “equal to any Fate,” capable of even martyrdom in whatever should seem to her a holy cause — a most exemplary daughter. She has her hobbies, however, (of which a very indefinite idea of “duty” is one,) and is, of course, readily imposed upon by any artful person who perceives and takes advantage of this most amiable failing.
In person she is rather above the usual height, somewhat slender, with dark hair and eyes — the whole countenance at times full of intelligent expression. Her demeanor is dignified, graceful, and noticeable for repose. She goes much into literary society."
– Edgar Allan Poe The Literati of New York / Number 5 / Godey’s Lady’s Book / September 1846

I think this is translated from the German by Courtland H. Young.
Delve into the haunting and thought-provoking world of Arthur Schnitzler's 1907 short story, "The Dead Are Silent." This poignant tale examines the complexities of guilt, secrecy, and the unspoken truths that linger between the living and the dead.
"The Dead Are Silent" tells the story of a passionate affair between two lovers whose lives are abruptly shattered by a tragic accident. As they grapple with the consequences of their actions, Schnitzler masterfully explores themes of morality, the weight of silence, and the stark reality of mortality.
Stanley Kubrick said of Arthur Schnitzler in 1960: "It's difficult to find any writer who understood the human soul more truly and who had a more profound insight into the way people think, act, and really are, and who had a somewhat all-seeing point of view - sympathetic if somewhat cynical."

http://www.drewrampley.com Drew Rampley - 2024Entertainment Tonight Full Show - Eyes Wide Shut Premiere - July 14, 1999PDCS2162024-07-31 | Full show of Entertainment Tonight with commercials from July 14, 1999 covering the July 13th premiere of Eyes Wide Shut and its after-party; featuring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Todd Field, Sydney Pollack, Thomas Gibson, Leelee Sobieski, Vinessa Shaw (who attended with Kurt Russell's son Oliver), Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese (who later listed the film on his top ten films of the 1990s), Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Cuba Gooding Jr., Winona Ryder, Jodie Foster, Elisabeth Shue, Dustin Hoffman, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn (who appears to be a big Stanley Kubrick fan), Ving Rhames, Tom Arnold, Stephen Baldwin, Val Kilmer, and Andie MacDowell.

Madison Eginton (daughter of Tom and Nicole in the film) was too young to attend but was given tickets by Warner Bros. to see Adam Sandler's "Big Daddy."

This novella has been adapted to screen four times; first in the 1969 Austrian television movie "Traumnovelle," second in the 1983 Italian film "Il cavaliere, la morte e il diavolo" ("The Knight, Death and the Devil"), third in the 1989 "Nightmare in Venice," and finally and most importantly in Stanley Kubrick's final, and arguably greatest, masterpiece "Eyes Wide Shut" in 1999. Images in the video are taken from the 1969 television movie and from Eyes Wide Shut. This is the 1927 English translation by Otto P. Schinnerer published by Simon and Schuster.
Stanley Kubrick said of Arthur Schnitzler in 1960: "It's difficult to find any writer who understood the human soul more truly and who had a more profound insight into the way people think, act, and really are, and who had a somewhat all-seeing point of view - sympathetic if somewhat cynical." Kubrick said of the novella in 1972, decades before he was ready to film Eyes Wide Shut: "Traumnovelle is a difficult book to describe - what book isn't? It explores the sexual ambivalence of a happy marriage, and it tries to equate the importance of sexual dreams and might-have-beens with reality. All of Schnitzler's work is psychologically brilliant, and he was greatly admired by Freud."
So immerse yourself in the captivating world of Arthur Schnitzler's 1926 novella, Traumnovelle (Dream Story). This timeless classic delves into the depths of the human psyche, exploring themes of desire, identity, and the thin veil between dreams and reality.
Traumnovelle follows the story of Fridolin, a successful doctor in early 20th century Vienna, who embarks on a nightmarish journey through a world of sexual and moral ambiguity. After his wife, Albertine, confesses to having dreamed of an affair, Fridolin's sense of security and reality begins to unravel. His nocturnal adventures lead him through a series of increasingly surreal and dangerous encounters, challenging his perceptions of fidelity, power, and self-identity. As he moves deeper into this strange world he thinks back with affection to the stable world of his everyday realities. He feels the orderly social reality to which he belongs is some kind of monstrous sham.
Experience Schnitzler's masterful storytelling and psychological insight. Discover the novella that inspired Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut. Enjoy a seamless blend of mystery, eroticism, and existential exploration.

http://www.drewrampley.com Drew Rampley - 2024Why Do I Need Reading?PDCS2162024-05-19 | What do a free weekend and a 6th grade book report have in common? If you would ask our five "Why Do I Need Reading?" students, the answer would be "absolutely nothing!" Their class is given a weekend book report assignment and the five students have no motivation to start, that is, until they experience a mind-boggling "dream." Their dreams quickly turn into nightmares as each one discovers their reading limitations. The story-line shows that without good reading skills, no matter what a student's career choice is, they will be limited to what they can accomplish. Through humor and entertaining vignette, the viewer will learn the importance of reading.
