Wicked Dreams: A New Translation of Traumnovelle

The story that inspired Eyes Wide Shut is a tale of unbearable agony and desire. Newly translated and with a critical essay comparing Kubrick's masterful adaption to the novel. Wicked Dreams is about Freddy, a doctor in Vienna, who becomes tormented by jealousy when he realizes that his emotionally abandoned wife, Albertine, has a secret fantasy life. Called out in the middle of an argument, he finds himself on a journey to the end of night, navigating his way through erotic nightmares and delicate fantasies. “I write of love and death. What other subjects are there?” -Arthur Schnitzler
