Álmok éjszakája by Arthur Schnitzler
Rhapsody: A Dream Novel, also known as Dream Story (German: Traumnovelle), is a 1926 novella by the Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler. The book deals with the thoughts and psychological transformations of Doctor Fridolin over a two-day period after his wife confesses having had sexual fantasies involving another man. In this short time, he meets many people who give clues to the world Schnitzler creates. This culminates in the masquerade ball, an event
of masked identity, sex, and danger for Doctor Fridolin, the outsider. It was first published in installments in the magazine Die Dame between December 1925 and March 1926. The first book edition appeared in 1926 in S. Fischer Verlag. The best known of the film adaptations is the 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut by director-screenwriter Stanley Kubrick and co-screenwriter Frederic Raphael, although it makes significant alterations to the setting. Prior to this film, it had been adapted for Austrian television in 1969; as an Italian film entitled Il cavaliere, la morte e il diavolo in 1983; and as a low-budget Italian film entitled Nightmare in Venice in 1989. The book belongs to the period of the Decadent movement in Vienna after the turn of the 20th century. (This summary is from Wikipedia.)
