Traumnovelle

Book • 1926
Set in early-20th-century Vienna during Mardi Gras, the novella follows Doctor Fridolin, a successful 35-year-old physician, whose life is altered after his wife Albertina confesses to having sexual fantasies about another man.

This revelation prompts Fridolin to embark on a journey that blurs the lines between dreams and reality.

He encounters various characters, including a young prostitute, an old friend, and participants in a secret high-society orgy.

The story delves into themes of desire, guilt, societal constraints, and the complexities of human sexuality, all influenced by the psychoanalytic ideas of Sigmund Freud.

The novella ends with Fridolin and Albertina reflecting on their experiences and the future of their marriage.
