Arthur Schnitzler, a renowned writer of remarkable talent, was born on May 15, 1862, in the vibrant city of Vienna, which was then a part of the Austrian Empire, but is now an independent country known as Austria. Throughout his illustrious career, Schnitzler gained widespread recognition for his captivating works, including the iconic film "Eyes Wide Shut," released in 1999, as well as his notable novels "Late Fame" and "The Affairs of Anatol," which was published in 1921.
