Arthur Schnitzler's most famous play, La Ronde, was published in 1903, but then censored in Vienna and Germany. Cynically following ten pairs of characters —- before and after the act of sex —- the play was obsessed by the passing of time, death, and decay, themes appropriate to the bloodiest century in world history, whose problems Schnitzler captured in this play and others.
Setting the playwright in context to his personal life, social, historical and political events, other writers of influence, and more, you will quickly gain a deep understanding of Schnitzler and the plays he wrote. Read Schnitzler in an Hour and experience his plays like never before. Know the playwright, love the play!

Schnitzler In an Hour
Ever wondered why you didn't understand Shakespeare? Thought it was the complicated English, or that you were not clever enough? But it's mostly because Shakespeare is about acting on a stage and his writings were mostly written to be seen and heard, not read.
This book breaks down each of the Comedies, the Tragedies and the Histories into simple easy to understand stories. We can then see in a nutshell the allure of Hamlet, Othello, or The Merry Wives of Windsor without reading the whole play.
Some of the Histories are perhaps hard to get through but Shakespeare lived in a time of political correctness of the Queen's axe which would chop of his head if he said the wrong thing.
