The book is a deliberately over-the-top parody of the genius concept in Romanticism as well a satire on the highlife of Hoffmann's time. Its unusual form consists of two biographies sliced into one: the autobiography of the pretentious Tomcat Murr, and the biography about the genius musician Johannes Kreisler, whose servant Master Abraham is the owner of Murr.
It's considered Hoffmann's MagnumOpus.
