«A História de um Sonho» is the short novel by Arthur Schnitzler, published by Relógio D'Água Editores in paperback (124 pages, in Portuguese).
The story centers on a Viennese couple who, after confessing their unsatisfied fantasies and desires to each other, try to rebuild their life together. Through the streets, cafés, hospitals and parties of early 20th-century Vienna, the narrative reveals the hidden side of a conservative and respectable society.
Originally published in 1926 as Traumnovelle, with a Portuguese translation by Maria Paula Couto. The work inspired Stanley Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut.
Arthur Schnitzler was an Austrian author and dramatist. He is considered one of the most significant representatives of Viennese Modernism. Schnitzler's works, which include psychological dramas and narratives, dissected turn-of-the-century Viennese bourgeois life, making him a sharp and stylistically conscious chronicler of Viennese society around 1900. Schnitzler's Jewish upbringing and the sexual content of his works made them controversial or banned in his time and beyond.
