New Tork—In striking commemoration, a week
or so after the death of Arthur Schnitzler, Aus¬,
trian novelist and dramatist comes the publica¬
tion of his last novel, Flight Into Darkness.“
Schnitzler spreads bare before us the later life
and thoughts of a man who Is afrald of going
mad.
The storg begins when Robert senses the
shadow of a mental disturbance. He notices that
his left ed droops lower than the right, and
fears that th. is a symptom of mental disease.
Through the complexities of self-doubt and
slackening mental control, and through a labyrinth
of introspection, Schnitzler traces Robert’s gradual
breakdown.
Early in life, after brooding over a friend’s
insanity, Robert had given his brother Otto a
document authorizing Otto, a physiclan, to kill
him painlessly, should he show signs of madness.
When the terror actually begins to close around
him, Robert develops a dread that Otto will carry
out this request.
Robert becomes more abnormal, in action and
reasoning. Realizing this, and no longer wishins
to die if he becomes insane, Robert’s fear that
Otto will kill him grows into e persecutlon¬
mania.
The dark and fantastic powers of this mania
press him to desperation, and carrz him on to a
climax that is superb in its inevitability.
Flight Into Darkness“ is a masterful psy¬
chologieal study. Schnitzler’s clear, simple style
and his naturalness of approuch alse create a
story that grips attention. Though a short novel,
the book is dramatically intense.
FINIS
In its penetration into a man’s character and
mind, its clear presentation of a subtle and in¬
volved situation“ and its highly sustalned interest,
Flight Into Darkness,“ stands as a worthy final
mark of Schnitzler’s fame.
