«Das weite Land» is the tragicomedy in five acts by Arthur Schnitzler, published by Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (135 pages, in German).
Set in Viennese society at the turn of the twentieth century, the play combines comedy and drama to explore love, infidelity and death. Through elegant dialogue and an ironic gaze, Schnitzler dissects social conventions and the inner conflicts of characters trapped between desire and appearances.
Originally published in 1911, the play bears the subtitle «Tragikomödie in fünf Akten». The present Fischer Taschenbuch edition is from 1998.
For readers of Austrian theatre and European literature, with an interest in early twentieth-century Vienna and the work of Arthur Schnitzler.
Arthur Schnitzler was an Austrian author and dramatist. He is considered one of the most significant representatives of Viennese Modernism. Schnitzler's works, which include psychological dramas and narratives, dissected turn-of-the-century Viennese bourgeois life, making him a sharp and stylistically conscious chronicler of Viennese society around 1900. Schnitzler's Jewish upbringing and the sexual content of his works made them controversial or banned in his time and beyond.
