«Les Dernières cartes» is a collection of short stories by Arthur Schnitzler, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback, in French.
With his clinical and melancholic eye, Schnitzler portrays fin-de-siècle Vienna, a world taking its leave, and characters driven by love, desire, and the awareness of death. Two trajectories marked by failure, human fragility, and a civilization in decline.
The full title of this edition is «Les Dernières cartes ; Rien qu'un rêve»: two stories in one volume.
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.
