The Judgement by Franz Kafka

Kafka's The Judgement tells the story of a quarrel between a father and son, triggered by a letter written by the son to a friend. The father's bitter reproaches lead to the repudiation and tragic suicide of the son. Moritz Stetter's illustrations add a new level to this often-interpreted story. Their expressive style captures the almost surreal scenery and the fateful course of the quarrel in dark colours and disturbing pictures.
