«Le lieutenant Gustel» is the short novel by Arthur Schnitzler, published by Pocket in paperback and in French.
An officer of the imperial army suffers a humiliation that calls his honour into question; from there, the narrative plunges into his interior monologue and exposes his irritation, his prejudices and his dependence on what people will say. Schnitzler portrays the military mentality and the contradictions of Viennese society at the beginning of the 20th century.
Written in 1900, the work is the first example in the German language of a narrative constructed entirely with the technique of the interior monologue.
For readers of classics of German literature and psychological narrative from the beginning of the 20th century.
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.
