Hands Around Reigen

Hands Around Reigen is a cycle of ten dialogues written by the Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler. Originally published in 1900, the book consists of ten interrelated scenes that explore the sexual and emotional relationships between various characters in early 20th century Vienna. Each scene features a different pair of characters, who are linked to the previous and subsequent scenes by their connections to one another. The book is notable for its frank and explicit portrayal of sexuality, as well as its use of dialogue to reveal the characters' innermost thoughts and desires. The title is derived from the circular structure of the work, which begins and ends with the same pair of characters. Throughout the ten scenes, Schnitzler explores themes such as infidelity, jealousy, and the power dynamics of sexual relationships. The characters are complex and nuanced, with their actions and motivations often conflicting and ambiguous. Hands Around Reigen has been adapted into various forms, including the play La Ronde by Max Oph�����ls and the film The Blue Room by Mathieu Amalric. The book remains a classic of modernist literature, and is considered one of Schnitzler's most important works.POET: You bore me? . . . You haven't the faintest idea what you mean to me . . .
