Arthur Schnitzler 
Dying [EPUB ebook] 

When Felix is diagnosed with a terminal illness, his lover Marie immediately swears to die with him. However, as their last year unfolds and Felix’s illness progresses, Marie’s begins to lose courage at the same time that Felix increasingly depends on her willingness to keep her promise. An engrossing and shocking psychological study set in turn-of-the-century Vienna, Dying is a shining example of Schnitzler’s talents as a dramatist.
