Arthur Schnitzler Gesammelte Werke by Arthur Schnitzler

A rich compilation of plays, novellas and short stories that probes the inner life of turn‑of‑the‑century Viennese society, exposing tensions between desire, social convention and mortality. With precise, economical prose and acute psychological insight—often using interior monologue and dreamlike sequences—the pieces examine love, jealousy, erotic longing, self‑deception and the unconscious with irony and moral ambiguity. The result is a sustained, unsparing portrait of intimate moral crises and social hypocrisy, where fragile identities and blurred boundaries between reality and fantasy are laid bare.
