Beate and Her Son book Arthur Schnitzler (Farsi)

Description

Mrs. Beate and Her Son is a profound psychological novella by the Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler, known for his sensitive portrayals of human emotions and moral dilemmas. The story centers on Beate, a respectable widow living a quiet and orderly life until her grown son returns home after a long absence, awakening a series of complex and unsettling emotions within her—feelings that blur the line between maternal affection and forbidden desire. Schnitzler masterfully captures Beate’s inner turmoil, revealing the tension between social conventions and the hidden depths of the human soul. Through elegant prose and subtle psychological insight, the author exposes the fragility of self-control, the conflict between morality and passion, and the haunting power of repressed emotions. First published in the early twentieth century, this novella remains one of Schnitzler’s most daring and thought-provoking works.
