Schnitzler's one-act plays represent as great an accomplishment as his full-length plays. The works in the present volume, several appearing for the first time in English translation, deal with some of Schnitzler's favorite themes: the intermingling of illusion and reality in The Green Cockatoo and Paracelsus, and man as puppet in the Marionettes sequence.
