Traumnovelle

Secret affairs, the loss of loved ones, prostitution, falling in love, blackmail, death – these are the themes that Arthur Schnitzler explores in his numerous novellas. The great Viennese writer focuses on the psychological processes, the most intimate experiences, and the deepest inner lives of his protagonists. He masterfully achieves this, for example, in the novella "Fräulein Else" through the narrative form of the inner monologue. Even Freud envied him for his ability to "know intuitively all that I have uncovered through painstaking work on other people." The collection includes the stories: "Dream Story," "Fräulein Else," "The Widower," "The Other," "The Son," "The Bride," "Spring Awakening in the Dissection Room," and "Inheritance.".
