La séparation des races: Roman | 
The title might be taken the wrong way, so it's important to explain that this is not a racist pamphlet. It's a 1922 #Swiss novella about a feud between a
Valaisan, French-speaking village and a Bernese, German-speaking one. Very short but very unsettling. I wanted to finish it quickly (too stressful!), but couldn't: the writing is too dense and has to be parsed carefully.
Picture is a still from the 1937 film, called The Kidnapping in English.
