«La Pénombre des âmes» is a collection of short stories by Arthur Schnitzler, published by Stock in paperback (256 pages, in French).
The stories portray relationships between men and women marked by desire, passion, and the difficulty of reconciling reason and the body. Schnitzler explores how love and death intertwine in the lives of his characters, enveloped in an atmosphere of melancholy and voluptuousness.
The edition is part of Stock's Bibliothèque cosmopolite collection and was published in 1984.
Readers of French-language fiction interested in twentieth-century German-language literature and psychologically oriented stories.
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.
