著者について

Arthur Schnitzer (1862-1931) was an Austrian novelist and playwright, heralded as a key figure in the Viennese Modernism movement. His literary output showcases a profound psychological insight reflective of his medical background, as Schnitzler initially trained as a physician before fully embracing his literary pursuits. His narratives often delve into the fin-de-siècle Viennese society, exploring themes of sexuality, mortality, and existential crises with a candidness that sparked both acclaim and controversy during his lifetime. Schnitzler's narrative technique, particularly his use of interior monologue, stands out as a precursor to stream-of-consciousness writing that would later flourish. 'The Lonely Way—Intermezzo—Countess Mizzie' is a collection that underscores his adeptness at capturing the complexities of human relationships and the subtleties of social conventions. His other notable works include 'La Ronde' and 'Dream Story', the latter inspiring Stanley Kubrick's film 'Eyes Wide Shut'. Schnitzler's contributions to literature echo his deep understanding of the human psyche, rendering his characters with a realism that continues to resonate with readers and scholars alike.
