Delphi Collected Works of Arthur Schnitzler (Illustrated‪)‬

Arthur Schnitzler was an early twentieth century playwright and novelist, celebrated for his psychological dramas dissecting turn-of-the-century Viennese bourgeois life. His Jewish upbringing and the sexual content of his works made them controversial and banned in his time and beyond. His plays reveal a unique gift of characterisation and power to evoke moods, often in a detached and melancholic vein. Exploring human psychology in depth, his groundbreaking novels and plays portray egotism in love, fear of death, the complexities of erotic life and weary introspection of the modern world. This eBook presents Schnitzler’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, many rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
