| Summary |
"Ennustus y.m. novelleja" by Arthur Schnitzler is a collection of short stories written during the early 20th century. The primary story, "Ennustus," explores themes of fate and the intersecting lives of characters enveloped in intrigue, particularly around a banquet and an eerie, prophetic encounter. It delves into the intertwining of art, destiny, and psychological tension. The beginning of the collection introduces the setting of a small castle belonging to Baron von Schottenegg, where a circle of eclectic guests gathers for theatrical performances and artistic pursuits. Among them is an unnamed narrator who becomes fascinated by the baron's past as a struggling actor. During his stay, he listens to the baron recount his artistic aspirations and a mysterious event involving a magician named Marco Polo who foretells the future, particularly focusing on a prophecy that intertwines with the narrator's own life and the baron’s tragic fate. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation, foreshadowing deeper connections between the characters and the unfolding events. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
