The scandalous erotic novella of infidelity, transgression and decadence in early twentieth-century Vienna
A married couple are first disturbed and then achieve a new depth of understanding by confessing to each other their sexual fantasies, dream-like adventures and might-have-beens in Dream Story. Like his Viennese contemporary Sigmund Freud, the doctor and writer Arthur Schnitzler was a bold pioneer in exploring the dark tangled roots of human sexuality. Taking us on a tour of the city's seedy cafés, red-light district, decadent villas, hospitals and morgue, Schnitzler brilliantly uncovers the violence and depravity lurking beneath the surface of civilized society.
