Literature
- Interpretation of Dreams (1900) - Sigmund Freud
La Ronde (1900) - Arthur Schnitzler
- Reigen (1900), usually called La Ronde, is a play by Arthur Schnitzler still frequently presented, and made into a film by Max Ophüls (1950) and Roger Vadim (1964). It was first published for friends in 1900 but not performed until 1921, when it was immediately shut down and deemed an obscene work. It presents a series of tableaux of interconnected characters in different sexual situations. The play scrutinizes the sexual mores and class ideology of its day and may be described as a bedroom farce.
