«Reigen» is the play by Arthur Schnitzler published in 1997 by Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag GmbH in hardcover (106 pages, in German).
Reigen presents ten encounters between lovers that form a chain: each dialogue shares a character with the next, and the round closes when the last scene links to the first. With irony, Schnitzler portrays desire, hypocrisy, and social differences in early twentieth-century Vienna.
This 1997 edition of «Reigen», subtitled Zehn Dialoge, includes an epilogue by Günther Rühle. Reigen was originally published in 1900.
Suitable for readers with command of German and for fans of turn-of-the-century Austrian theatre, as the dialogue uses abundant Viennese dialect.
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.
