Sex and death, one the extension of the other.
The power play between men and women.
Higher powers lurking in the shadows.
TRAUMNOVELLE is a layered novella, a rich and beautifully told fairy tale as Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT. Over 100 years since its publication, Schnitzler's writing manages to still be deeply relevant in its exploration of lust, marriage, and relationships. A must-read!

Ein sehr (Entschuldigung) traumhaftes Buch, durch das man von Wort zu Wort getragen wird, wie auf einer Wolke. Die Worte und Beschreibungen sind mit Geschick gewählt und ich habe mich oft gefragt, wie man auf auf sowas alles kommen kann. Alles in allem war das eine durchaus interessante Geschichte, vor allem wenn man an Weihnachten wie ich die Zeit überbrücken muss.
Regularmente siento una enorme soledad respecto a mis monólogos internos y su constante fascinación por los temas metafísicos, filosóficos que intentan ser altruistas, y me pone muy mal sentirme así, pienso que incluso, tal vez está misma pretensión sea la que me pone en esta absoluta solitariedad, sin embargo, leo libros así y me doy cuenta que realmente tampoco soy el único, el monólogo interno a veces es incluso parecidisimo, pero... También confirma lo de la pretensión.
Es un libro copado, lamentablemente no me gusta parecerme a Fridolin

Tutto quello che mi vien da dire è: meh. Comprendo che è molto incentrato sulla psicologia, ma non è per me - mi piace quando i protagonisti riflettono o lasciano andar liberi i propri pensieri, ma qui c'è solo confusione... realtà? Sogno? Realtà che sembra un sogno? Sogno che si basa sulla realtà? No, non fa per me. Forse mi aspettavo tanto altro, visto che è considerato un capolavoro. E visto che son qui: Fridolin, che ipocrita! Medita vendetta sulla moglie quando le racconta, senza filtri, un sogno fatto... ma lui nella realtà fa peggio.
Loved the dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere, coupled with the (for the 1920s pretty explicit) discussions of sex and adultery. What mostly stands out in my mind though, beyond the secret society orgies or suicides, is the descriptions of a city at night - the coffee-houses, taxicabs, prostitute alleys, and the stench of death hoveringly ever so slightly over anything. Vienna at the turn of the 19th century is pretty similar to cities nowadays, minus the cars and smog and skyscrapers I suppose.
A beautiful personification of the idea of angst, and the basis for Stanley Kubrick's final film, as discussed in the combined work [b: Eyes Wide Shut & Dream Story|402008|Eyes Wide Shut & Dream Story|Stanley Kubrick|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387707923s/402008.jpg|1414352]

I can only imagine how this terribly shocking this seemed when first published in 1925. A lot of inner turmoil, and much of it understated to modern ears. Strong in terms of generating the kind of atmosphere and imagery that allows Schnitzler requires to pull-off the dreamlike, Freudian fantasy that essentially underwrites the text, it whizzes by and is well worth the read.
