| | Schnitzler, Arthur: Dream Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | He toys with the dismal daughter of a patient, an "unspoiled" prostitute, and a sophisticated matron--none of whom he actually claims, all of whom remind him of his wife, one of whom dies, he believes, in protecting him. |
 | | Uncertain if his adventure was reality or dream, he returns with tenderness to Albertine, although he has repeatedly vowed to leave her. |
 | | The editor, Raphael, contends that Dream Story is true to Schnitzler's personal life and times; he speculates that it was written well before 1918 and failed to find a publisher until 1926. |
