This new edition of Dream Story by Arthur Schnitzler offers readers a new translation from the original German text and a comprehensive exploration of the acclaimed novella, originally published as Traumnovelle in 1926 and adapted into the movie Eyes Wide Shut.

Set in early 20th-century Vienna, Schnitzler's narrative delves into the psychological complexities of desire, marriage, and the blurred lines between fantasy and reality. His background in psychiatry provides a nuanced examination of the human psyche that remains strikingly relevant today.
