The Master of the Last Judgment is Leo Perutz's most famous novel. This is an exquisite combination of a fascinating intellectual detective story about the investigation of a mysterious series of suicides “for no reason” that shook Vienna at the beginning of the twentieth century, and a bizarre phantasmagoria full of mystical allusions, symbols and the smallest “clues” that help the reader understand the hidden meaning of what is happening... The publication also includes an elegant, deeply psychological historical and philosophical parable “Judas of the Last Supper”, which is based on the work of the great Leonardo da Vinci on his brilliant fresco.
