Omschrijving

A Masterpiece of Viennese Modernism

International literary icon Arthur Schnitzler, a Viennese physician turned writer whose works were burned by the Nazis as "Jewish filth" in 1933, nonetheless endures as one of modernism's essential voices.

First published in 1908, The Road Into The Open (Der Weg ins Freie) is widely regarded as one of Arthur Schnitzler's crowning literary achievements. It is also regarded as Schnitzler's most explicitly Jewish work, providing his most comprehensive and direct exploration of what it meant to be Jewish in Austria in 1900.

Set against the glittering yet deeply troubled backdrop of fin-de-siècle Vienna, this sweeping novel interweaves themes of art, love, identity, and the pervasive anxiety of Jewish life in an increasingly antisemitic Europe. With psychological precision and compassionate insight, Schnitzler portrays a society on the brink of transformation-and the men and women struggling to shape their own futures.

At its heart, the novel follows Georg von Wergenthin, a young aristocrat and aspiring composer, as he navigates a passionate but complicated love affair, his artistic ambitions, and the moral tensions of the world around him. Rich with vividly drawn characters, searching philosophical dialogue, and Schnitzler's trademark psychological depth, The Road Into the Open remains as urgent and resonant today as when it was first written.

This Edition is Enriched With:

14 Original Illustrations depicting key scenes, characters, and the vibrant world of Habsburg Vienna
A Scholarly Introduction by the editor, providing essential historical, cultural, and literary context for the modern reader
Chapter Endnotes offering detailed annotation and insight into Schnitzler's sources, allusions, and themes
A Comprehensive Author Biography exploring Schnitzler's extraordinary life as physician, playwright, and novelist in one of history's most remarkable cities

Perfect for students, scholars, and lovers of great European literature.
