Arthur Schnitzler

Writer

Arthur Schnitzler (1862–1931) was an Austrian author and dramatist known for psychological studies of Viennese bourgeois life and for interior monologue techniques.

Schnitzler's work often explores sexuality, dreams and the psychology of the bourgeoisie. Traumnovelle inspired several film adaptations, including Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Contemporary figures in psychoanalysis, including Sigmund Freud, regarded his psychological insight.

The available review reads Traumnovelle as a psychological study of a bourgeois marriage, interior monologue and the lure of power. It links the novella to Freud and to multiple film adaptations (notably Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut). The critic emphasizes the work's focus on monogamy and the moral ambiguities of desire.

For:Readers of modernist Austrian literature, fans of psychological fiction and film adaptations

 We too often fall into the habit of investigating. Scanning minutely for a meaning to assign to what we cannot explain. Is it really necessary to ask ourselves so many questions daily? What would we do with our remaining time if we knew the most sacred of knowledge?
