{"title":"As grandes obras de Arthur Sch","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"o-tenente-gustl","title":"Lieutenant Gustl","description":"Playwright, short story writer, essayist, novelist, and novelist, it was with his talent for dissecting the most ambiguous side of human beings that Arthur Schnitzler became one of the most important authors in the German language. In LIEUTENANT GUSTL, his best-known book—part of the collection The Great Works of Arthur Schnitzler, edited and translated by Marcelo Backes—he creates the first interior monologue in his language. A novel that inspired the stream of consciousness of writers like James Joyce. Gustl, an officer in training in the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army, argues with a baker in the theater's cloakroom while they are attending a concert. The baker cannot stand Gustl's rudeness and, amidst harsh words, takes his sword and breaks it in half. And so begins the officer's agony. Ashamed and humiliated, he believes his only option is suicide. As he envisions the end, he ponders three main things: whether anyone heard the argument, whether he will become a laughingstock in Vienna, and whether he would survive the insult. The young man wanders the capital of the Empire, contemplating how to kill himself, rejecting every argument against the dramatic end. In his monologue, he presents a catalog of thoughts, prejudices, and values rooted in his class. And an absurd sense of honor. At the same time, he displays a petty side: the objectification of women, anti-Semitism, growing militarism, class struggle, and privilege. The epitome of an era at once grand and decadent. The valorization of the individual, leisure, and consumption, woven together by the thread of Schnitzler's talent, functions here as a portent for modern society. Its parallel with Schnitzler's Vienna lies in the universe of lost connections. In misery and fascination, the glitter, false or not, of the human condition. Gustl's musings during his night mask the author's impressions of Viennese society at the end of the 19th century.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159595892988,"sku":"9788501090805","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/9f4760813ab1f797c8a0c34744f88e8e.jpg?v=1780716228"},{"product_id":"o-medico-das-termas","title":"The spa doctor","description":"Playwright, short story writer, essayist, novelist, and novelist, Arthur Schnitzler knew like few others how to synthesize the most authentic aspects of the heart. A tormented writer, his works are intimate, full of anguish, desolation, and personal tragedy. His texts exude misery and fascination, the gleams, false or otherwise, of the human condition. Feelings dissected with the coldness and certainty of his metaphysical scalpel. *The Doctor of the Baths*—the first title in Schnitzler's Great Works collection—is further proof of his skill in analyzing human instincts and passions. If in *Chronicle of a Woman's Life* Schnitzler, often compared to Freud, from whom he anticipated ideas and from whom he received a letter in 1906 in which the latter confessed that Schnitzler was his creative double, reveals the external and internal life of Therese Fabiani, a young Austrian woman from a decadent family, here the object of his analysis is Dr. Emil Gräsler. The character whose profession gives the novel its title, Dr. Gräsler, is merely the starting point for more comprehensive advances in the field of psychology. His character is presented with impressive precision: his monstrous selfishness, his brutal indifference to the deepest feelings of others, his pathological fear of making a decision, and his self-doubt. The allure of the abyss, the paramount importance of the small: everything appears. Uncertainty hovers over all the doctor's actions and his relationships with the four women who surround his destiny. The first is Friederike, his spinster sister, his housekeeper, and a true enigma; the second is Sabine, the daughter of an elderly retired actor, who represents a great chance for love in Gräsler's life; the third is Katharina, the sweet suburban girl. The fourth is almost a coincidence, but the decisive unforeseen... Considered immoral, Schnitzler scandalized critics and gave them the only answer he considered valid: his own work: \"If it endures, you have won.\" And it endures.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175418577148,"sku":"9788501087928","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/cdc092cd2071973d43dd756390d77e58_1584802b-0a46-4226-a1ff-92d78c5b89a6.jpg?v=1778317010"},{"product_id":"juventude-em-viena-uma-autobiografia","title":"Youth in Vienna: An Autobiography","description":"A portrait of a transformative era and generation in the words of one of the greatest writers and thinkers of modernity. By combining his unparalleled literary sophistication with modern existential depth, Schnitzler became one of the most important writers in the German language.

In this autobiography, Schnitzler, Freud's creative double, reveals the intricacies of an entire mentality and thought. Youth in Vienna: An Autobiography is a masterfully written, enriching work, and above all, a legacy of the unique intimacy of a memorable writer.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175458554108,"sku":"9788501098078","price":74.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/6da7841830731444b101620664b2f3af.jpg?v=1778326032"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/as-grandes-obras-de-arthur-sch.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
