Translated from the German by Margaret Schaefer. 264 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Jorge Colombo. keywords: Literature Austria Vienna Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER - ‘Flight into Darkness,' ‘Dying,' and ‘Fräulein Else,' three of Arthur Schnitzler's greatest novellas, are acknowledged masterpieces of psychological realism. In Margret Schaefer's superb translations, they reveal the depths of Schnitzler's understanding of life as well as the masterful storytelling techniques that immerse the reader in the very center of his characters' thoughts and emotions. Each of the novellas creates a world of experience that becomes our own. In ‘Flight into Darkness' we free-fall along with the main character, Robert, into an abyss of paranoid madness. Schnitzler's lofty aim in ‘Dying,' a searing portrait of a young man who believes he is wasting away, and of his lover's devotion, is to tell the truth about the reality of dying. Focusing on just these two characters, Schnitzler creates a psychological drama filled with both an aching tenderness and a cruel animosity. ‘Fräulein Else,' one of Schnjtzler's most celebrated works, uses stream of consciousness brilliantly to explore the interior life of a young woman placed in a humiliating position by her family. inventory #35654 ISBN: 156663542x., 0<

Dying, Flight into Darkness, and Fr ulein Else reveal the depths of Schnitzler's psychological and moral understanding of life as well as the masterful storytelling techniques that immerse the reader into the very center of his characters' thoughts and emotions. "The tales of Arthur Schnitzler especially as rendered in Margret Schaefer's clear, uncluttered translations are many suggestive, allusive, and dreamlike things. But they are most certainly not the work of a period writer." Chris Lehmann, Washington Post Book World. Media > Book<
