The latest novel in English dress from the pen of Arthur
4 Schnitzler, author of Anatol, is" Bertha Garlan,
which is franslated from the German by j. H. Wisdom and
Marr Murray, and comes from the press of Max Goschen.
It is not only decidedly nasty in theme, but devitalising,
because it lays stress merely on the ignoble side of life and
morals. The sex-motif occupies the story with a want of
proportion that appears to us inartistic. We are deluged
with the erotic emotions of Bertha, who is left a widow with
one little boy after three years of wedded life with a man
she never loved, and with sinister hints of the underhand
intrigues of Anna Rupius, a beautiful woman whose husband
has become paralytic. Both women swathe themselves in
lies and deceit to satisfy their crotic cravings. And the men
of the story are for the most part of the most unpleasantly
sensual type. As a whole the book is suggestive and
exciting in a bad sense, so much so that we think even the
morbiely curious as regards the vagaries of sex will lay it
lown with a gasp of relief. Bertha voluntarily gives herself
to her üirst lover, and reaps therefrom not#ling but the deepest
personal humiliation. Anna had to die te cover up her
deceit and its consequences. The book cannot be called
immoral in the sense that it holds up evil to admiration,
but its atmosphere is aggressively carnal.
