At a reunion of former pupils, the judge Ernst Sebastian evokes his youth in Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century. The memory of Franz Adler, the brilliant classmate, drags up the rivalry, jealousy and humiliations of that time, until the encounter with the past becomes an interrogation about one's own guilt.
The work belongs to the collection «Franz Werfel, Gesammelte Werke in Einzelbänden» and originally appeared in 1928.
For fans of classic German-language fiction and novels of psychological introspection set in a school environment.
