The introduction was written by "Loris", a pseudonym of the young Hugo von Hofmannsthal, who was a friend of Schnitzler. It is a seven-act play set in late 19th century Vienna, depicting the many shallow and immature relationships of bourgeois playboy Anatol. The first act, "Die Frage an das Schicksal" ("The question to fate"), earned Schnitzler the title of "Psychologischer Tiefenforscher" ("psychological depth researcher") from Sigmund Freud.
