These artful new translations of nine of Schnitzler's most important stories and novellas reinforce the Viennese author's remarkable achievement as literary modernist, depth psychologist, and prose stylist. The collection includes powerful early works such as "The Dead Are Silent" and "Geronimo and His Brother" as well as late masterpieces such as "Night Games" and "Dream Story," upon which Stanley Kubrick based his film Eyes Wide Shut. In all these stories, Schnitzler uses point of view, interior monologue, and stream of consciousness in a radically modern way reminiscent of Joyce and Proust, only earlier.
