THERESA
THE CHRONICLE OF A WOMAN’S LIFE
By ARTHUR SCHNITZLER
Translated by WILLIAM A. ERAKE
HE publishers take great pride in present¬
ing Arthur Schnitzler’s first full-length
+ novel in twenty years, a mature work of
permanent literary quality, It will consolidate
and enlarge the eager audience which has ac¬
claimed his brilliant novelettes—Frautein Else,
Rhapsody and Daybreak.
One reader has aptly characterized this tender
and grave chronicle of a woman's life as a
Viennese Jane Eyre, since Theresa becomes a
governess and since her milieu is very similar
to that of her more respectable and less coura¬
geous English counterpart. Through the shifting
tides of her pitiful and tragic destiny, Theresa’s
soul moves nobly, without shame, in a continual
quest for love and stability. This is a full length
portrait of a woman whose humanity and cour¬
age lift her far above the limitations suggested
by such terms as “modern' or “uninhabited.“
Theresa is the masterpiece, not of Schnitzler,
the brilliant raconteur, but of Schnitzler, the
creative artist, filled with a sober apprehension
of his world.
Itis, among his works, the one which thought¬
ful readers and lovers of fine literature (and
since the publication of his brilliant novelettes,
they are legion) can least afford to miss.

FRAULEIN ELSE—145 Pages, 81.50
Schnitzler has never written anything to sur¬
pass this, and there are very few short
stories in the world’s literature we should
care to place above it.

Into a scant 173 pages, Schnitzler crowds
more action than such as Hugh Walpol

As amazingly well done as Fraulein Eise and
it is more amusing, if not so intense.

Schnitzler’s new story is one of the most
beautiful gifts of his muse.

DAYBREAK—204 Pages, 81.50
We could no more quit reading it before we
had finished it than say:“ Well, this is my
last hand,'’ when we were a terrific loser.
