«Doppio sogno» is the short novel by Arthur Schnitzler, published by Adelphi in paperback (131 pages, in Italian).
A doctor and his wife see their peaceful bourgeois life shaken after a masked ball: figures in red dominoes awaken hidden desires in them. The narrative alternates nocturnal adventures that seem like dreams and dreams that seem real, while the couple ventures into a disquieting Vienna of secret doors and ambiguous characters.
The novel was originally published in 1926 under the title Traumnovelle. This Italian edition, translated by Giuseppe Farese, appeared in 1998 in the Gli Adelphi collection (no. 131).
Of interest to readers of psychological fiction and to those seeking the text that inspired Stanley Kubrick's movie 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.
