Recommended reading:

Dream Story
a.k.a. Traumnovelle / Rhapsody / Eyes Wide Shut.

by Arthur Schnitzler.

Edited & translated by Robert Jordan G.

First published 1926.

ASIN: B0GHFBP5F7

ISBN-13: 979-8244277838

Description:

In a single night, Dr. Fridolin embarks on a journey through desire, secrecy, and moral uncertainty, wandering the shadowy streets of Vienna as the boundaries between fantasy and reality dissolve. A chance encounter, a whispered confession, and a masked invitation lead him into a world of hidden rituals, erotic fascination, and unspoken fears. Each step draws him deeper into a labyrinth of temptation and self-reflection, where the line between innocence and transgression is perilously thin.

Schnitzler’s Dream Story is a masterful exploration of the subconscious, a tale in which longing, guilt, and the fragility of social mores intertwine. A provocative, haunting work, it lingers long after the final page, leaving the reader to question the nature of dreams – and the truths they reveal.

Happy 4th of July:

A great day to rewatch my favorite 4th of July movies: Jaws (1975) and The Shining (1980).

Below is the zoom shot of the photograph from The Shining.

Happy 4th of July from us and everyone at the Overlook Hotel.
