Traumnovelle
Der Berliner Illustrator Jakob Hinrichs hat sich intensiv mit der 'Traumnovelle' von Arthur Schnitzler auseinandergesetzt und eine furiose Graphic Novel gestaltet: Hinrichs löst die erotische, geheimnisvolle Geschichte dafür aus ihrer Entstehungszeit. Er schafft Referenzen zur Gegenwart, zur Science-Fiction, aber auch zum Beginn des letzten Jahrhunderts. Schräge und seltsame Charaktere bevölkern sein Bilder-Buch, lediglich Fridolin und Albertine sind Menschen. Hinrichs' Illustrationen, in denen die Grenzen von Traum und Realität verschwimmen, fangen die surreale Stimmung der beiden Protagonisten gekonnt ein. Der Künstler weicht dabei vom Originaltext ab und lässt seine Bilder wirken. Mit seiner Graphic Novel gelingt ihm eine Interpretation, die in einem Spannungsverhältnis zum Original steht und es trotzdem vollständig erzählt. Schnitzlers Originaltext befindet sich am Ende des Bandes. Arthur Schnitzlers 'Traumnovelle' erschien 1925 als Fortsetzung in der Zeitschrift 'Die Dame', 1926 dann als erstmals als Buch im S. Fischer Verlag. Hauptfiguren sind der Wiener Arzt Fridolin und seine Frau Albertine. Schnitzler erzählt von ihren sonderbaren und erotisch aufgeladenen Erlebnissen einer Nacht und dem folgenden Tag. Fridolin streift nachts ziellos durch Wien und erfährt zufällig von einem geheimen Maskenball, zu dem er in einem Mönchskostüm geht. Obwohl ihm eine maskierte Frau rät, zu verschwinden, bleibt er, denn das wilde und bizarre Treiben auf dem Ball fasziniert ihn. Er gerät in einen Strudel aus Erotik, Gefahr, Fantasie und Illusion. Auch seine Frau entdeckt in sich geheime Leidenschaften, die die beiden sich schließlich eingestehen. Fantastisch und traumhaft beschreibt Schnitzler die Entdeckung ihrer bisher verborgenen Begierden, die aus ihrem Unterbewusstsein hervortreten. Sigmund Freud war damals von der 'Traumnovelle' begeistert und schrieb dem Autor: 'So habe ich den Eindruck gewonnen, dass Sie durch Intuition - eigentlich aber in Folge feiner Selbstwahrnehmung - alles das wissen, was ich in mühseliger Arbeit an anderen Menschen aufgedeckt habe.' Stanley Kubrick ließ sich von Schnitzlers Buch zu seinem letzten Film inspirieren: 'Eyes wide shut' - mit Nicole Kidman und Tom Cruise. Er ließ ihn im heutigem New York spielen und unterstrich damit die Zeitlosigkeit der Novelle.

Dr. Graesler
"Dr. Graesler" is a nuanced psychological portrait by the celebrated Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler. The narrative centers on Dr. Emil Graesler, a middle-aged physician whose life is defined by the rhythmic transitions between various European health resorts. When the sudden death of his sister leaves him alone, Graesler is thrust into a period of self-reflection, forcing him to reconsider his solitary existence and his longing for a more stable, domestic life. As Graesler navigates several potential romantic encounters, Schnitzler expertly dissects his protagonist's inner turmoil, indecisiveness, and the social masks he wears. The work is a profound exploration of the human condition, focusing on the tension between the desire for freedom and the need for belonging. Through the lens of the medical profession and the elite spa culture of the early 20th century, the story examines themes of aging, regret, and the difficulty of making definitive life choices. "Dr. Graesler" remains a significant work of modernist fiction, showcasing Schnitzler's keen ability to reveal the underlying psychological motivations that drive individual behavior and social interaction.

Beatrice

The story centers on the inner life of Beatrice, a middle-aged widow whose quiet existence is disrupted by the awakening of repressed desires and the complex emotional development of her teenage son. As she navigates her own late-blooming passions and the moral dilemmas they present, the narrative unfolds with the clinical precision and poetic sensitivity for which Schnitzler is celebrated. The novel delves deep into themes of maternal love, eroticism, and the fragile boundaries of bourgeois morality. Through the character of Beatrice, the work examines the isolation of the individual and the tension between public image and private impulse.

Arthur Schnitzler Hands Around
"Hands Around" is a provocative and structurally innovative play by the renowned Austrian dramatist Arthur Schnitzler. Set in fin-de-siècle Vienna, the work consists of ten interlocking dialogues that explore the complexities of human desire, social hierarchy, and the fragile nature of intimacy. The narrative follows a unique "roundelay" structure: character A meets character B, character B then meets character C, and the chain continues until the final scene brings the cycle back to the beginning. Through this sequence of encounters-ranging from soldiers and parlor maids to poets and aristocrats-Schnitzler masterfully peels back the layers of Viennese society. The play serves as a biting satire on the sexual mores and class distinctions of its time, highlighting the universal yet isolating nature of physical connection. Celebrated for its psychological depth and modern sensibility, "Hands Around" remains a landmark of 20th-century European literature. This edition captures the rhythmic wit and cynical charm of the original work, offering readers a window into the decadent and often hypocritical world of early modern society. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Kehanet
Arthur Schnitzler 1862 S 1931 Avusturyali roman ve oyun yazariydi. Viyana Modernizminin en önemli temsilcilerinden biri olarak kabul edilir. Psikolojik dramalar ve anlatilar iceren eserleri, yüzyil basi Viyana burjuva yasamini inceleyerek onu 1900lü yillarin baslarindaki Viyana toplumunun keskin ve üslup acisindan bilincli bir tarihcisi haline getirmistir. Arthur Schnitzler, insan ruhunun derinliklerini titizlikle gözlemleyen bir yazar olarak, Kehanet adli psikolojik eserinde sanatin, hayalin ve toplumsal maskelerin ic ice gectigi bir dünyayi ustalikla betimler.Yazar, zarif bir dille kurdugu atmosferde, sanatin hem bir kacis hem de bir yüzlesme bicimi oldugunu anlatir. Kehanet, sadece bir dönemin sosyetesine degil, insan dogasinin evrensel celiskilerine de ayna tutar. Duygu, ironi ve derin psikolojik cözümlemelerle örülü bu eser, Schnitzlerin edebi dehasinin bir yansimasidir; okuyucuyu hem sanatin büyüsüne hem de insanin kendi ic sahnesine davet eder. Dorlion Yayinlari olarak 1905 yilinda yayimlanan bu metni okuyucularimizla paylasmaktan mutluyuz.
