A fast-paced story that effectively dissects the social constructs of the time and looks at the life of women against this backdrop, ‘Bertha Garlan’ is an ideal read for anyone familiar with Schnitzler\'s body of work. The son of a physician, Arthur Schnitzler (1862 – 1931) was born in Vienna. At the age of 17, he enrolled at the city’s university, studying medicine. After graduating, he began work as a doctor at the Vienna General Hospital. Despite seeing himself primarily as a man of science, Schnitzler began writing when he was 31. His first works, poems, and short stories, focusing on the themes of jealousy and adultery, laid the foundations for his first play, ‘Anatol.’ Due to its psychological nature, ‘Anatol’ was praised by Sigmund Freud and later adapted for film, starring Gloria Swanson. Schnitzler eventually retired from the medical profession to pursue his literary career. In addition to numerous plays, he also wrote two full-length novels, a dozen short stories, and two non-fiction books.

Hra rakouského dramatika Schnitzlera z konce 19. století je obrazem Vídně své doby, podobně jako díla malířů Klimta a Schieleho. Dlouho čekala na uvedení, její premiéra byla pochopena jako veliký skandál. Tvoří ji deset dialogů mužů a žen ze všech společenských vrstev, které vždy končí sexem. Pod „milostnými dialogy“ se skrývá ostře kritický pohled na společnost v mnoha podobách. Hra dodnes provokativní a aktuální vychází v překladu J. Balvína jako 176. svazek edice D.

Svazek Hry II. přináší překlady Schnitzlerových děl z let 1901 až 1916. Všechny české překlady druhého svazku vycházejí knižně poprvé. Vedle vrcholných celovečerních děl (Krajina širá, Profesor Bernhardi, Fink a Fliederbusch) tento svazek obsahuje i autorovy aktovky, z nichž některé pojednávají nanejvýš rafinovaně a nuancovaně téma manželské nevěry a lásky, další svědčí o dramatikově zaujetí pro experimenty s netradičními žánry. Schnitzler svým nenapodobitelným uměním impresionistického dialogu, jeho oduševnělou ležérností a zábavností evokuje skrytou tragiku lidských osudů a současně odráží život a kulturu jedné zanikající společnosti. Zároveň se zde představuje i jako autor společensko-kritických dramat s odsudkem antisemitismu a bezobsažného světa médií. Svazek uzavírá studie Lucie Merhautové o české recepci Schnitzlerova díla na přelomu 19. a 20. století a soupisy inscenací her Arthura Schnitzlera na českých scénách a v Pražském německém divadle. Soupisy připravily Jitka Pavlišová a Jitka Ludvová. Editoři svazku: Josef Balvín a Zuzana Augustová. Výbor obsahuje překlady J. Balvína, M. Tvrdíka a Z. Augustové.

Audiokniha: Erotika, fantazie, iluze… a probuzení. Fantaskní příběh o rozkladu jednoho manželství nahlodávaného nezvladatelnými erotickými touhami inspiroval Stanleyho Kubricka k natočení filmu Eyes Wide Shut. Příběh zdánlivě harmonického manželství, které je nahlodáváno nezvladatelnými erotickými touhami a představami, napsal rakouský spisovatel a také lékař a psycholog v roce 1925. Ovlivněn atmosférou dvacátých let, kdy definitivně odcházel „starý svět“, i svými znalostmi sugesce a hypnózy nořil se ve svých dílech do hlubin lidské psychiky, ovládané dvěma silami – pudem erotiky a pudem smrti. Příběh lékaře Fridolina a jeho ženy Albertiny se pohybuje na hranici snu a reality. Putování Fridolina prostupnou hranicí snění a žití je především cestou do hlubin vlastní duše... Magičnost Schnitzlerovy představivosti uchvátila i amerického režiséra Stanleyho Kubricka, který podle této novely natočil film Eyes Wide Shut s Tomem Cruisem a Nicole Kidman v hlavních rolích.
