Classic novel in the original German. According to Wikipedia: "Wilhelm Hauff (November 29, 1802 November 18, 1827) was a German poet and novelist... Considering his brief life, Hauff was an extraordinarily prolific writer. The freshness and originality of his talent, his inventiveness, and his genial humour have won him a high place among the southern German prose writers of the early nineteenth century... he also wrote the first part of the Mitteilungen aus den Memoiren des Satan (Memoirs of Beelzebub) (1826) and Der Mann im Mond (The Man in the Moon) (1825). The latter, a parody of the sentimental and sensual novels of Heinrich Clauren (the pseudonym of Karl Gottlieb Samuel Heun) (17711854), became in the course of composition, a close imitation of that author's style and was actually published under his name. As a result, Clauren brought and won an action for damages against Hauff, whereupon Hauff followed up the attack in his witty and sarcastic Kontroverspredigt über H. Clauren und den Mann im Mond (1826) and attained his original object: the moral annihilation of the mawkish and unhealthy literature with which Clauren was flooding the country."
