Like his Viennese contemporary Sigmund Freud, the doctor and dramatist Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) was a bold pioneer in exploring the dark tangled roots of human sexuality. Schnitzler is probably most famous for La Ronde, a play too scandalous to publish or perform in his own lifetime but whose daisy-chain of couplings inspired both Max Ophuls's classic film and David Hare's modernised version, The Blue Room, which played to sell-out audiences in the West End and on Broadway. Dream Storyis an equally erotic work, in which a married couple are first traumatised and then achieve a new depth of understanding by confessing to each other their sexual fantasies, dream-like adventures and might-have beens. Taking us on a guided tour of Vienna's seedy cafes, red-light district, decadent villas, hospitals and morgue, Schnitzler brilliantly uncovers the violence and depravity lurking beneath the surface of civilised society. Dream Storyis the inspiration for the film Eyes Wide Shut, co-written by Stanley Kubrick and Frederic Raphael.… (más)
La novela divaga entre una imagen y otra de la misma manera que lo hacen mis sueños; erráticos, dando tumbos de piedra en piedra con el fin de cruzar la inasible corriente de agua. Despiertas con un poso real de lo vivido; pero te aceptas incapaz de intentar reconstrucción alguna. Las descripciones son magistrales. Perfectamente nebulosas. Sútilmente perfila los elementos básicos; el lector construye su réplica de la imagen; Schnitzler esboza el acto, narra; y de repente ... ¡zas! drástico e inesperado cambio de escenario. Ni siquiera tiene que existir una conexión lógica. Precisamente es deliciosa porque no las crea. Bello paralelismo entre el sueño real de ella; y el ficticio de él. ¿O acaso es al revés? ( )

And so they both lay there in silence, both dozing now and then, yet dreamlessly close to one another - until, as every morning at seven, there was a knock upon the bedroom door and, with the usual noises from the street, a triumphant sunbeam coming in between the curtains, and a child's gay laughter from the adjacent room, another day began.
