Description
La Ronde: A Play by Arthur Schnitzler Written in 1897 and first published for his friends, La Ronde is a play that scrutinizes the social norms and class ideology of its time through a series of encounters between characters from different backgrounds. By exploring how sexual contact can transgress boundaries of class, Schnitzler offers a commentary on the societal norms of his era. The play was not publicly performed until 1920, sparking violent reactions against its subject matter. Despite this, La Ronde has continued to be adapted and reinterpreted in various forms of media, including films by Max Ophüls, Roger Vadim, and Fernando Meirelles. This edition presents Schnitzler's original work in English, offering a unique insight into the playwright's vision. With its thought-provoking themes and historical context, La Ronde is a play that remains relevant today.
