Traumnovelle

by Arthur Schnitzler

Traumnovelle, a novella by Arthur Schnitzler, delves into the complexities of a seemingly harmonious marriage in early 20th-century Vienna. The story unfolds through the perspectives of Fridolin, a physician, and his wife, Albertine. Their marriage, while seemingly idyllic on the surface, harbors unspoken and unfulfilled desires, leading to a rift when they confess their fantasies to each other. Fridolin, confronted by his own suppressed desires, embarks on a night of encounters that reflect his unconscious urges. Meanwhile, Albertine experiences a dream that reveals her own hidden emotions. Through these parallel journeys, both characters are forced to confront their innermost desires and the complexities of their relationship.
