Dream Story by Arthur Schnitzler

5.0

---

Doctor Fridolin and Albertine have a beautiful relationship until she confesses to having had sexual fantasies involving another man. What follows is an unfolding of the doctor’s thoughts leading to a psychological transformation over the next two days. A short but beautifully written dream like story that captivates as much as it puzzles. Having seen Kubrick’s ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ , one movie version of the story, nowhere near spoils the beauty of these 99 pages. To be read and reread!
