Novella about Dreams. Eyes Wide Shut in German

Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) — Austrian writer, the most popular playwright of Austria, the leading representative of Viennese Impressionism.
Schnitzler graduated from the medical faculty of the University of Vienna and practiced as a psychoanalyst for several years, being well acquainted with... Sigmund Freud and his theory. This is reflected in the works of the writer. In «Novella about Dreams» (Traumnovelle), Schnitzler explores the irrational aspects of human existence, masterfully analyzing the inner world of his characters, where beneath ideal relationships lie streams of jealousy, dissatisfaction, and secret desires.
Schnitzler's prose and dramaturgy became widely known, were repeatedly adapted for the screen throughout the 20th century, adapted to the modern stage, and «Novella about Dreams» served as the basis for the script of Stanley Kubrick's last masterpiece «Eyes Wide Shut».
The collection also includes novellas «Lieutenant Gustl», «Dead Men Speak Not», «The Return of Casanova», and «Frau Elsa». The original text is accompanied by comments and a dictionary.
