Flirtations * Round Dance * The Green Cockatoo * The Last Masks * Countess Mizzi * The Vast Domain * Professor BernhardiThe playwright Arthur Schnitzler is best known as the chronicler of fin de siegrave;cle Viennese decadence. Round Dance; written in the late 1890s; exposes sexual life in Vienna with such witty frankness that it could not be staged until after the First World War; when it provoked a riot in the theatre and a prosecution for indecency. The other plays in this collection explore love; sexuality; and death in various guises; always with a sharp; non-judgemental awareness of thecomplexity and mystery of the psyche. Acquainted with Freud and his circle; Schnitzler probes beneath the surface of his characters to uncover emotions they barely understand. And in the tragicomedyProfessor Bernhardi; Schnitzler addresses the growing anti-Semitism of the period.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

I learned just as much in the first two chapters of this book. It is very good for a novice artist like me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

CarpenterGary Greene provided quite a bit of information in this book... from the materials available for pencil art.to step by step instructions on shading and other various techniques. to instructions for particular drawings with ample illustrations. I am a beginner and found this book to be helpful and well written. Plus I like that its hardback and stayed in an open position on my table.
