Arthur Schnitzler (Author)
The extraordinary Viennese writer Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1910) was
born in Vienna, the son of a prominent Jewish laryngologist,
Schnitzler studies medicine at Vienna University but soon abandoned
medicine for writing. From 1895 he attracted public attention as a
dramatist. Concentrating on sex and death, his work shows a
remarkable capacity to create atmosphere and to pursue profound,
ruthless and often Freudian analysis of human motives.
