"In our latest video, we take a look at Larry's work: digging deep into ancient manuscripts and texts, trying to find clues and cues as to what it was that alchemists really were up to. In addition to an enormous book collection in his office, Larry has a lab where he performs ancient alchemical experiments, helping to set the record straight on the history and development of alchemy. Is he a historian of alchemy or a get-rich-quick schemer in search of the legendary Philosophers' stone? You decide."

"Hoffmann’s most famous text, ‘The Sandman’, the ur-text on the Doppelgänger, has been the object of a dizzying number of readings, among them Freud’s essay on the uncanny, and must be one of the most frequently translated texts from German into English. It is the dense and unsettling story of a young man, Nathanael, who suffers from a fixation rooted in the nocturnal visitations during his childhood of his father’s mysterious friend Coppelius. As a boy Nathanael believes that Coppelius is the Sandman, a demonic figure who (so the family nursemaid tells him) throws sand in children’s eyes and makes them fall out of their sockets. One night, he hides himself in his father’s room to spy on Coppelius and his father, and watches them engage in an alchemical experiment."
