A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The famous 'daisy-chain' play of sexual coupling, set in Vienna in the 1890s. The play is a series of ten scenes depicting couples in different sexual liaisons. Each of the ten characters appears in two adjacent scenes, forming an endless chain of sexual links across all the layers of Viennese society. Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen (its original title, conventionally translated as La Ronde) was written in Vienna in 1896/7 but, because of its scandalous subject-matter, was not performed in full until 1920. It has been adapted often (notably by David Hare as The Blue Room), and filmed several times (including by Max Ophuls, 1950; Roger Vadim, 1964; and Otto Schenk, 1973). Translated and introduced by Stephen Unwin and Peter Zombory-Moldovan.

As well as Anatol (published 1892) and La Ronde (Reigen, published 1900), his prolific work for the theatre includes the tragedy Playing with Love (Liebelei, 1895), The Green Cockatoo (Der grune Kakadu, 1899), set on the eve of the French Revolution, and The Legacy (Das Vermachtnis, 1898).
